    Keeping up the Uniparty grift.

    NK is trading artillery shells to use in Ukraine for oil and gas with Russia.

    Now, Iran will build missiles and drones for Russia to shoot at Ukraine along with increasing their nuke capability and in the process keeping the Uniparty war funds filtering through Ukraine.

    The Biden regime trades 5 Iranian citizens for 5 US citizens. Sounds fair enough? No, the Biden regime also gives the Iranians $6 billion in frozen assets, and tells them they can only use it for humanitarian aid. An Iranian spokesperson tells Biden & Blinken to pound some desert sand, said they will use it for whatever they want.

    Likely some of this money will go towards building Iranian drones that are sold to Russia to kill Ukrainians that we are defending. Biden & his kakistocracy lose again. What morons.

    Reagan acknowledged the sale of HAWK and TOW missiles to “moderate elements” within that country after Weinberger did the deed. Not provided to the Ayatollah.

    “… Iran’s president has said his government will decide how it will spend $6bn (£4.8bn) released by the United States under a prisoner exchange deal.

    The US has issued a sanctions waiver for international banks to transfer the billions in frozen Iranian funds – paving the way for the release of a British national and four Americans held in Iran.

    The assets will be transferred from South Korea to Qatar, which Iran will then be able to use for buying humanitarian goods.

    But in an exclusive interview with NBC News, Sky’s US partner network, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said: “This money belongs to the Islamic Republic of Iran and naturally we will decide, the Islamic Republic of Iran, will decide to spend wherever we need it.”

    Asked by NBC News presenter Lester Holt, in Tehran, if the money will be used for more than humanitarian purposes, Mr Raisi replied: "Humanitarian means whatever the Iranian people need.

    “This money will be budgeted for those needs and the needs of the Iranian people will be decided and determined by the Iranian government.”

    US secretary of state Antony Blinken signed off on the deal last week, but Congress was only informed on Monday.

    Four of those held in Iran were released from prison and placed under house arrest last month, according to US officials.

    The US-Iranian dual nationals include businessmen Siamak Namazi, 51, and Emad Shargi, 58, as well as environmentalist Morad Tahbaz, 67, who has British citizenship.

    They had all been jailed at the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran on spying charges.

    The identity of the fourth US citizen allowed out of prison has not been made public, while a fifth man was already under house arrest.

    The agreement also includes the release of five unnamed Iranian citizens held in the US. …" __ sky

    Releasing frozen assets is not the same as giving them money!

    Republicans complain about everything all the time.

    Remember when traitor Trump had a general murdered? That almost started a war.

    Iran vows ‘harsh revenge’ for general’s killing. Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad

    Obama – “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f¥ck things up.”

    CNN and NBC polling show that 70% of Democrats don’t want Biden to run again. FOX polling has it at 68%. Yet the lefties here still continue to support and defend him. They try to deflect with their “whataboutisms” regarding Presidents Reagan and Trump. Different times and circumstances boyos, no relevancies.

    Once again the lame left claims that Putin has some kind of arcane influence over President Trump and that they are pals. Yeah, sure.

    The Russian Foreign Minister complained that Trump levied more sanctions against Putin in his first three years in office than Obama did during his eight years.

    Gave the order to retaliate against hostile Wagner and Syrian attackers resulting in over 300 killed and wounded wir NO American losses.

    Closed three Russian embassy facilities and kicked out 60+ Russian diplomats (spy’s).

    Destroyed hundreds of $million’s Russian equipment, munitions and supplies in Syria.

    There’s a lot more that Trump did to make Putin very unhappy, yet the the delusional left still lies about them being ‘buddies’ somehow. They don’t understand that as a businessman, Trump operates on the concept of “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. President Trump purposely doesn’t criticize Putin and is some cases speaks well of him in order to keep a personal line of communication open for negotiation. He does this with all world leaders. Except maybe Rocket Man Kimmy and even then he eventually turned on the charm. Worked too, Kim quit launching missiles until Biden took office.

    The Biden administration has not given Iran a bag of money. Before you accuse, learn about the strings attached and how the dispersal of money to Iran is to be handled. This toon is a blatant lie.

    The ayatollah is approaching death by old age. How many of us are betting that the ayatollah’s death will throw Iran into chaos, which will allow invasion and foreign occupation of Iran. This is humanitarian aid and US illegally seized it. How would you feel is Russia had possession of a similar amount of US foreign trade profits, and refused to disburse them to US corporations.
