Wait until you see how much Cuba is going to cost.
The Shart of the Deal.
Steaks?
Vance’s admission contradicts what he said on Friday, when he claimed in an X post that Iran would not be “receiving any cash, and no funds are being released simply for signing a deal or attending a meeting.” In addition to the U.S. and its allies paying $300 billion in reconstruction funds, Iran reports that the U.S. has agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
So now can we call it? The american empire is done, please just lets call it.
As they should. The US owes them reparations.
Remember when those cocksuckers complained about democrats giving Iran their own money back in exchange for a nuclear agreement? Now we’re giving them half a trillion just so they’ll go back to the status quo from a year ago?
Remember when they illegally sold weapons to Iran so they could illegally fund Contras in Central America?
We raped Iran, and then paid them off to shut them up. Yep, Trump definitely negotiated this.
Art of the deal, indeed.
When do I get a refund for all the extra money I paid for fuel over the past few months? My job involves driving - I've put about 5,000 miles on my car since the beginning of April - so I'm definitely noticing the difference.
It's nice to know they were able to spend my tax dollars rebuilding Iran after they spent my tax dollars destroying Iran. I'm very happy the prices on everything went up so they could do that.
Looks like the Gulf petrostates will fund it
For fucks sake, why the fuck does anyone believe this will hold until its supposed to be signed on Friday
Dump has always been a terrible business man. He's a leech.
How much has this cost the USA? How much would NHS style healthcare cost?
Less than what taxpayers have paid directly to Trump organizations I'd imagine
A fraction of what your regular military budget is. Hell, a fraction of what the government already pays for healthcare.

And Iran thinks he will pay? Lol a Trump never pays his debts.
He never pays with his money, this isn't his money and if gas prices go down a fairly large percentage of americans will say "we kicked Iran's ass".
Trump is a lot more generous when it's not his money. He'll pay.
He treats our money like it's his.
See, that’s the thing though - he doesn’t. He never pays his own debts and never spends a dollar he doesn’t have to when it comes to his own money. When it comes to taxpayer money though? He’ll firehose that shit in whatever direction he feels like.

That's a good idea! Trump should get a loan to pay that himself. Maybe a 50year loan? A Wargage! It's a mortgage for wars. Let's say you can't pay right now, but you would really like to get rid of some country. You get a Wargage and just pay the minimum for 50 years! Get your family members into it to help you and you could own a war in no time! We just need a billion down payment and some collateral.
This is low key a good premise for a bit. Maybe add banker jargon, something about FHA loans and FAFSA applications and an intergalactic bank holding Trump personally responsible for billions

Hm, so the teabaggers kept going on and on (and on) about Obama's deal and now DonOLD is talking about 300 billion in reparations?
Unfortunately they won't care about the $300 billion at all, because it'll never appear on Fox News or their safe spaces on social media. At most they've already signaled it will be completely lied about as an "investment fund" that will imply some value in return without promising, follow-up or accountability.
Besides Trump will just lie and they'll believe him
Interesting that Vance is finally in the news now that he said he wants to run for president...
Vice President JD Vance all but confirmed a detail being floated as part of the tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal: Iranian access to $300 billion in reconstruction funds.
“That’s the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation,” Vance said.
And ~~Mexico~~ the Gulf coast will pay for it!
So the IRGC and the Islamic Republic are still in place, and not only that, America is paying them to stay in place. Properly worst of both worlds lol.

I take pictures of insects to deal with this perpetual nonsense. In the forest things make sense again: https://www.smetterling.eu/, enjoy.
That's some good photos, thanks for sharing.
Hope you got some lush greenery near you as well.
It doesn't matter how much they say they're going to pay. We're just going to get another turn of the wheel: we'll be right on the cusp of a deal, then Israel will murder a few thousand people and literally blow the deal up. The war continues but we're still in a ceasefire, the Straight is open but nobody's allowed through, Iran's military capabilities have been completely destroyed but they're still launching missiles. Give it two more weeks and we'll be right on the cusp of a deal with another jaw-dropping offer for Iran that won't matter because they know we'll just turn the wheel again.
