I don't care whose money it is, we know what they do with money they have access to.
I think Phantasmal spends her welfare check the second it hits her EBT card and doesn't grasp the concept of cash flow.

Agreed there. Not a lawyer, but I suspect there's some international law aspects here. Should the US unilaterally just ignore international law or should we be the standard bearer for international law?
That said, if the US can link Iran's hand in killing Americans in Israel, there should be some retribution....even if it means putting $6B on a barge, tow it off the beach of Iran and then lighting it up with thermite grenades.
Do it just after low tide so the ashes can wash ashore in Iran.

Do you advocate breaking the law if you believe it's serves your own purposes?
Reagan often spoke highly of the US as being a "City on the hill". A shining example of all that's good in the world. GW Bush rolled us down that hill into the gutter. You seem to be proposing we stay in the gutter. Is that true?
How can the US maintain the moral high ground if we're no better than anyone else? That doesn't mean we have to put up with terrorists, just that we need to do it without breaking the law or being immoral about it.
Breaking what law? There's a law that demands I give Iran ransom money and pretend that it isn't ransom because I force them to spend it on something allowing them to reallocate funds they would otherwise spend on that to terrorism? I don't think there is. I think you want to cover that turd with a pile of excuses, but the reality is this group that runs this pResident are giving money to terrorists to pay a ransom. Next time they need some cash to pay for some cheap rockets to give to Hamas to kill Jews they'll just grab a few more Americans, they know we're good for it and that our promise to never pay ransom is just words spilled into the air.

My understanding is that it's not ransom money, it's Iranian money we've held back from them. Not a single US taxpayer dollar is involved. Am I wrong?
Cover what turd? Biden? Fuck him. I didn't vote for him last time and I won't be voting for him next time. WTF does that have to do with international law and US as a beacon of morality?
I don't like the idea of giving money for hostages, but only fucking morons think that hasn't been done by every President from Reagan to Trump. Let's not be stupid here. Nothing says the US can't protect American citizens and the American economy without also compromising our integrity and morals.

$6B in frozen Iranian funds remain unspent in wake of Hamas attack, Blinken says
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Sunday the $6 billion in Iranian funds expected to be unfrozen in the U.S. prisoner swap with Iran have remained unspent, pushing back against suggestions that the Biden administration’s deal may have contributed to Hamas’s recent attacks on Israel.
“The facts are these — no U.S. taxpayer dollars were involved,” Blinken said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “These were Iranian resources that Iran had accumulated from the sale of its oil that were stuck in a bank in South Korea. They have had from day one, under our law, under our sanctions, the right to use these monies for humanitarian purposes.”
“From one account to another in another country to facilitate that use,” Blinken continued. “As of now, not a single dollar has been spent from that account.”
Blinken’s comments follow Palestinian militant group Hamas’s onslaught of attacks against Israel on Saturday that left hundreds of people dead and thousands of others wounded.
Maintaining there is not yet any evidence showing Iran directed the attacks against Israel, Blinken pointed to the “long relationship” between the country and Hamas.
“There’s a long relationship between Iran and Hamas,” Blinken said. “In fact, Hamas wouldn’t be around in the way that it is without the support that it’s received from Iran over the years.”
LOL. Again, it doesn't matter. They gained access to this money because Biden's Team gave them access to the money in order to pay a ransom.
No matter how angry you get, how much CAPSLOCK you use, or how often you pretend that they just "can't" spend it on what they spent it on, the reality is: because the team running the production of Weekend at Brandon's gave them access to money to pay a ransom Iran had $6 Billion to spend however they wanted.
It doesn't matter when they spend it...
Let me give you the same explanation I gave in another thread so that even children can understand.
You have $6 you were going to spend on your ear medication and a candy bar. But your mother promises to give you money in two days for the ear medication and candy bar so you instead spend the money on a 1980s priced nickel bag and a McDouble, you had the $6 to spend on the McDouble and weed because you are going to get the $6 for your ear medicine and candy bar later.

Capslock? Are you confusing me with Truth Detector? Some other supporter of "Jews will not replace us"?
You're forgetting that the mother isn't giving anything; it's my $6 to begin with.
You're free to believe the maxim "It's okay to be immoral because everyone else is doing it". Want to cheat on your taxes? Why not? "Everyone else is doing it". Want to cheat on your wife? Why not? "Everyone else is doing it". Want to cheat your customers or clients? Why not? "Everyone else is doing it".
It's Iran's money. Like it or not, the US made a deal to give them back their own money. Fine. OTOH, if there is evidence they are behind this, I have no problem with doing well over $6B worth of damage to their economy, their military, their infrastructure, etc.
Better to let the Saudis do it. Like the Iraqis, they don't like the Persians either. Of course, a regional war, especially any blockades of the Straits of Hormuz, will drive up the price of oil, but that's what electric cars were supposed to fix, amirite? LOL
We did not give them anything. It was not ours.
Just stop. Biden released THEIR money. It was revenue from oil they sold to our allies, in this case, South Korea. It is now in Qatar and can be used ONLY for humanitarian aid. But you come here and lie to score political points. I thought you were better than that but I was wrong. It’s disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I wonder what it takes to have you alt lefties understand that IRAN is not a friend of the US.

You were never going to buy the ear medication. You planned on using that money for yet ANOTHER bag but you weren’t allowed to. Your analogy sucks.

Was it me?
yes.
everyone can see their big dumb idea of creating wars by funding two sides of conflicts.
it's corruption on a mass scale. a spartan pychotic center of a intergenerational trauma bonded demon plethora.
