The New Jersey Democrat laid out how the U.S. had allowed Iran to sell an estimated $10 billion worth of sanctioned oil to China and then promised to further alleviate sanctions in return for releasing highly enriched uranium and committing to limiting its enrichment capacity.

“And that was the exact deal that you guys vilified, that the president and you vilified President Obama for having,” Booker said. Of course, Donald Trump’s deal is even worse than Booker says, as it reportedly includes a $300 billion investment fund for Tehran, in the event that a deal is reached.

$10 Billion to $300 billion. ART OF THE DEAL!

    It’s only “worse” from the imperial perspective that it helps the oppressed more.

    It’s completely normal and completely shameful that the so-called opposition uses this framing.

    (Checks notes)… Corey Booker… Oh ok. Fuck that guy.

      So it’s better because the deal is the same as before but we both bombed them more then paid them more money? So… they are less oppressed now after 4 months of kinetics because of a bigger payout? Is that your argument?

      I hope I’m misunderstanding you.

        Nothing imperial about being excited your life was completely destroyed because you got some rich man’s dirty leavings.
        Good things can happen in this world!

        Am even better deal since the admin says their stockpiles are destroyed they can hide however much they’d like and no one can really say anything about it much less prove it.
