What do winkin and nod say about it? Three party system right? I wonder if that’s tonocchio’s way of saying it was Iranian money they recently gained access to. In either case, hey tony......🖕

The internet makes propaganda convenient and credible. They say that in a war, the truth is the first casualty. Unfortunately, the truth received it’s last rites a long time ago. Now, more than ever, we must be slow to believe, especially when we know there’s incentive to hide reality from us.
Nooooo, they didn’t use THAT $6B. They used $6B they suddenly had free up since we gave them $6B. So they definitely did NOT use any money we gave them.
Money is fungible, the 6 billion made support to terrorists possible.
What a frigging piece of dissembling bullshit. Not US money but money the US had seized and kept from them. Giving them this money back is equivalent to pulling it out of your own pocket so they can go kill.
I actually lived a Costanza-ism for a month.
“Do the opposite.”
It actually worked out well for me.
I have read several times that the $6 Billion given to Iran was actually $16 Billion. I don’t know which figure is correct but lying comes so naturally to the Biden administration and our MSM (main stream media) that my bet would be on the larger amount.
Blinken and Nodding...
Has he EVER spoken the truth about ANYTHING?
doesn’t matter....it gave them a nice line of credit...
” $6 billion released by the U.S. for humanitarian aid in Iran”
The humanitarian assistance has allowed Iran to allocate 6 billion dollars from its own budget to back Hamas Terror attacks. With external aid taking care of their domestic needs, they can channel more resources towards supporting Hamas.
How about from the pallets of cash sent there a few years ago?
Now they have killed Americans and taken them hostage.
Worse than Carter.
MUCH MUCH WORSE.
As soon as they gave it to the terrorirsts, it was “their money”?
“The really troubling thing is how they never had a whiff it was coming. I mean, not one thing.:
It would surprise me a bit if all US intelligence assets were focused on providing Russian targets for the Ukrainians, especially considering their relatively close geographically.
Another consideration that leads me to that conclusion is the way that poor Asian countries cannot even have an economic conference without the US crashing-in at the meeting and DEMANDING that they all agree to a statement condemning Russia over Ukraine - it’s really poisoned our relationships there, and even if they ever did get that kind of statement, what would be the point of it?
Of course the obvious possibility is that they saw what was happening and chose to look the other way, as likely they did during the US summer protests in 2020, and regarding the atrocities committed by Ukraine and many other countries in other theaters.

It is, perhaps, worth noting that the hostages were released when the ransom was paid in a multiplicity of non US currencies...
I wonder how many Hamas boyz Jo Jo allowed to wade the Rio Grande the last 6 months.
“I have read several times that the $6 Billion given to Iran was actually $16 Billion. I don’t know which figure is correct”
My understanding is: $6 Billion is the S.Korean money unfrozen.
$10 Billion was from Iraq oil deals, which was supposedly allowed to be paid to Iran back in July.
Blinks just gives the blue koolaiders an excuse to ignore the obvious
YOW!!! Well played!
Very disingenuous of both Bash & Blinken. Iranian gov’t hasn’t spent the $6 Billion yet, because they had $10 Billion from Iraq. Blinken is certainly aware of that.
