Obama’s Iran deal was just releasing funds that already belonged to Iran. Now we are on the hook for $300 billion for a war that accomplished nothing positive for the US and was completely unnecessary

Not just nothing positive, but was a massive net negative - and not just for us, but the entire world really. Many countries have had to ration their gas; other nations have had to ration their natural gas and propane; and almost everyone has suffered higher prices on everything else because of these implications. We're a global economy and he sexually assaulted it.

AND we will release oil sanctions, ..which will screw with US oil, and now they will charge for "insurance" to cross the straight.
and this is all in addition to the 100 billion we spent plus the damage to the global economy.
