The amount of money Iran got is truly appalling (tip to Instapundit):
In 2015, the Iranian Khomeinist regime received up to $150 billion into its bank accounts from the Obama administration. That windfall of cash was provided through terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the Iran Nuclear Deal. That gusher of western cash then flowed directly into terror funding, even though Iranian experts and dissidents had warned over and over again that the money would not be spent on the Iranian people, but rather would go to enrich the repressive regime, and to fund its warring proxies in the region.
Recall that when called on their opening of the money spigot which the horrible Iran nuclear deal achieved, the administration said that the money would go to rebuilding Iran's economy and that Iran's sponsorship of terror wouldn't rise "dramatically." Really, that's what they said:
So there is no chance that Iran might use the massive amount of money that a deal with Iran will release to the mullahs on nukes, terrorism, and propping up Shia armed groups across the Middle East?
Or even half?
Or ten percent? Give me that, won't you? Our best analysis says there is nothing to spare for what Iran has been doing all along at great financial cost to them?
But no. The Iranians have made a friggin' commitment to the friggin' people to spend this windfall of cash on domestic problems not associated with nukes, terror, and general mayhem promotion.
Say, Iran's supreme nutball does have shovel-ready projects to fund!
Iran will help oppressed people in the region, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Saturday, days after Gulf Arab leaders met U.S. President Barack Obama and expressed concern about Iranian expansionism.
But no worries! We're assured by our administration that Iran's mayhem sponsorship won't increase "dramatically" with sanctions relief.
I keep thinking our president is inept. But I'm leaning to "delusional," lately.
That's what the president our left says is the smartest president evah! did. And I'm to trust them that Trump is an idiot?
Iran thought that Hillary would win in 2016 and keep the spigot open. Trump's victory ended that--and perhaps the nutballs' conviction that Allah is on their side, eh?
