I don’t think there will ever be less internal killing in the region.
Uh uh, please tell me you’re not falling for that. Do you HONESTLY believe the money will ONLY go for “humanitarian” needs.
Not if our foreign policy is done right. The last thing this species needs is another caliphate on the world stage.
What would done right look like? Not a sarcastic question.
No i don’t honestly believe that it will always be clean. Not for a second. Grift is unstoppable. We couldn’t even stop grift here with pandemic dungs
But the condition is a nice touch to at least try to reduce some of it.
Anything that aids in there being too much internal/regional conflict for there to ever be anything approaching another Ottoman Empire or comparable federation.
The boundaries of Iraq/Syria/Jordan/etc., for example, were some of the greatest contributions ever made to the rest of mankind.
That’s a fair point
But Saudi Arabia is fighting against Iran in a proxy war with Yemen
We give both side money/arms. They keep fighting
Both sides…? There’s a lot more than two sides, dude. lol

They are not that much different from former Soviet republicans in the south
Where it’s all tribal etc etc
It’s all the same tribalism and visionaries no matter where you go in the world. These ones just happen to have the most violently expansionist religion ever recorded in human history. They’re far too dangerous to be allowed to become a world power ever again.
Isn’t this money from Iran selling their oil? And the us blocked it and prevent it from going to Iran.
I’m just gonna assume hunter got his usual cut.

Yeah the 9-11 timing is extraordinarily tone deaf. (Liberal hubris )
But if I recall, when Iran released the original Carter era hostages, the frozen Iranian accounts were unfrozen . . . minus $1million for each hostage taken and $1million for each family of those who died.
We don’t have to like it, but it is not without precedent.
who released it to them?
i know it’s “their money”. help fund a terrorist state
adorable
Six billion lol does one have the cure for cancer?
How many deaths, involving IRGC-sponsored acts of violence around the world, will this 6 Billion bring about?
Nobody released it to them
