PoliticalTea 🗳️ How negotiations actually work...

To the inevitable response from MAGA that Obama gave 'pallets' of cash...he released frozen Iranian assets. Meanwhile the current Iran conflict has directly cost $38 billion militarily and a currently projected $87 billion in extra gas and diesel expenses. Not to mention that the strategic oil reserves have been depleted to the point that experts warn that the caverns they're stored in could collapse.

I am preety sure the Americans living today will be seen as the dumbest group of people ever to live.

Going from Obama to Trump. That's a one digit (1-9) IQ (intelligence quotient, it's very low, so it's not good).

Yeah, I've thought this, and about the world, not just America. Everyone gets pissy at boomers, because they had low cost of living and ran up the debt. But the way future generations will feel about ours will massively eclipse that.

We were the generation that could have solved climate change while we still could, but just didn't.
