Repost. Automod removed previous post for violating Rule 1, which it didn’t, so…

    Estimates so far is that the war has cost the US close to a trillion dollars. On top of that, Iran will be able to tap a 300 billion dollar reconstruction fund in order to rebuild.

    So, to recap: American taxpayers are on the hook for a trillion dollar 3 month war, 300 billion dollars to rebuild Iran, gas prices are still outrageous, groceries are still unaffordable for many families, and Donald Trump “loves” the 4% inflation numbers reported last month.

    All this because Donald Trump couldn’t let JCPOA stay in place because it was negotiated by Barack Obama.

    Instead we get the Iranians figuring out how to use Donald Trump’s mental illnesses against him.

      And the strait of Hormuz is still not open, and probably won’t be before the end of the month at the earliest.

        And even if it is opened, Iran may as well start chargeen fees instead of tools to cross it.
