Is it actually coming out of the military budget? I assumed we were just going to get taxed for it, or they'd pull it from some other places that actually needs the funds.
Alternatively, they could just increase the military budget by 300 billion (or more).
- morkalork 4mo agoIt's a good measure of scale. The USA is paying Iran an amount that is 1/3rd of its military budget in reparations because they "won".
- throwawaypath 4mo agoNo, that was fake news. The 300 billion dollars isn't coming from the US.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoHow would you even know that? We haven't seen the agreement yet.
- throwawaypath 4mo ago>We haven't seen the agreement yet. Which why the $300 million claim is fake news.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo agoThat 300 billion number came from JD Vance. Do you think he lied, or what?
- Hikikomori 4mo agoHe also said trump is America's Hitler, but that turned out to be true. But would argue is America's Hitler and Jimmy saville.
- throwawaypath 4mo ago>That 300 billion number came from JD Vance. No it didn't, that is fake news. Please provide an unbiased source where JD Vance claims the US will be paying Iran $300 billion.
- amanaplanacanal 4mo ago"Walk through some of this. The Iranians are saying that they're gonna have access to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, true or false?" O'Keefe began. "Well, Ed, that's the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf coast coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation. I think that one of the things you're going to see, Ed—and people have to be skeptical of this—is that the hardliners in the Iranian system will overemphasize the benefits that Iran gets, while underemphasizing all the things that they have to concede and all the things they have to provide in order to get these benefits," Vance replied. NBC news. He said the "Gulf Coast coalition", but it's unclear exactly who is going to be paying into that.
- throwawaypath 4mo agoThank you for confirming it was fake news. He did not state that the US was going to give Iran $300 billion.
- throwawaypath 4mo agoNot surprised I didn't get a response.
- albedoa 4mo agoYour crashout is epic lol.

- sejje 4mo agoMy understanding was that the US green-lighted a 300-billion investment from neighboring countries to rebuild.
- burkaman 4mo agoNobody outside the administration knows what the US has greenlit, and a detailed peace agreement likely doesn't exist yet.
