It sure appears to me that we are pretty close to World War III, with this one being the entire world against Jews and Christians. I just wonder what percentage of the U.S. Population will actually fall in line with the Iran and Hamas, sure seems like the open boarder policy of Biden has a goal of increasing the anti Jew and Christian population.

Nope, not at all, Biden basically started the attack on Israel with the payment of $6 billion to Iran Originally Posted by farmstud60Sadly doesn't appear as though you're very well-informed here. That $6 billion dollars was the Iranians which was seized and frozen prior. And even after release, sits in a bank in Qatar - and cannot be released without additional permissions from the United States. No money of that distribution of Iran's own money has reached Iran. Not to say that it doesn't sound very good to have people like Blinken negotiating the release of hostages and release of monies regardless of supposed ownership.

It was a sign of weakness and the Iranians took advantage to expand their terrorism. Only a fool thinks those restrictions meant something.
“The facts of this arrangement are when this money arrives in these accounts in Qatar, it will be held there under strict oversight by the United States Treasury Department and the money can only be used for humanitarian purposes,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said at a Sept. 12 press briefing. “We will remain vigilant in watching the spending of those funds and have the ability to freeze them again if we need to.”
Administration officials have also said none of the money has been spent yet Originally Posted by eyecu2
Oh please elaborate on your hypothesis - I thought you mentioned (originally) that it was six billion dollars created this issue!?

Seems now you'd like to change your suggestion to say it was just a matter of showing weakness? Despite Iran getting stiffed and getting no cash so far!Do you think that unfreezing assets or dropping pallets of cash ala Obama did shows strength or weakness in the eyes of the Iranians and the assorted Arab enemies we have?
Or did you have another guess ? Originally Posted by eyecu2

They don’t care about facts. I honestly don’t believe they can comprehend them but that’s another matter.
