300 billion vs 1.5 billion to Iran. I guess Trump made a bigger deal.
The rubes really believe all those Sunni neighbors are going to be the ones to pay that "at least 300 billion" to their Shia neighbors.
That's precisely the point. The surrounding gulf states will be the hardest judges of whether or not Iran is complying, or is continuing aggression.
And even if at some point another rube Democrat administration comes into power, the Arab Gulf states will still be in charge of the reconstruction, so the Democrats won't be able to screw it up.
And the gulf states want to cultivate an Iran that is peaceful with its neighbors. if Iran is intertwined with them economically for its survival, Iran is much less likely to wage war against them.
And for that matter, many of these nations were peaceful and had good/friendly relations with Iran, right up till 3 months ago when the current Iran IRGC regime out of the blue started raining missiles down on them. Even the neighboring Shia states have a self-interest in a new and peaceful Iran, that won't shut off the Persian Gulf entirely again, completely closing off all shipping and oil trade through the Straight of Hormuz.
And "the rubes" in the Bill Clinton administration believed giving away a billion a year in free energy in 1994 to North Korea would make them abandon pursuit of nuclear weapons ( it didn't, they went public that they had obtained nuclear weapons in 2002, thank you so much Bill Clinton).
And "the rubes" in the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations believed giving hundreds of billions to Iran and Russia, either in pallettes of cash, and/or by not enforcing oil sanctions, that gave Russia and Iran $100 billion each to wage war. These Democrat rubes naively believed it would make Russia and Iran be peaceful. Instead they invaded Ukraine in 2022, and rebuilt Hamas, Hezbollah, Fatah and the Houthi terrorist militias, to rain down death on Israel ever since October 7 2023.
And Iran further used that $100 billion in new cash to build nuclear weapons, and the long-range missiles to carry them. (Thank you so much Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the entire America-hating Marxist-Bolshevik Iran-spy-infested Democrat party.)
