    Fuck Obama. People forgot that he signed a 30 billions aid deal to Israel over 10 years 2016-2026

      for sure - fuck Obama. But it’s important to acknowledge that Trump in particular caved to very old and tired arguments from Netanyahu that others had rejected.

        I’m pretty certain that Netanyahu had an extra argument tailor-made just for Trump.

        He told him that the US could sweep in and impose regime change like they did in Venezuela, and then they could get Narges Mohammadi out of prison snd in appreciation, she’d give him her Nobel (medal). and then Trump would be the bestest president ever because he’d have two Nobels (medals).

        I’m not joking.

        Let’s be real here the man could be manipulated by a pigeon. He’s a narcissist, they’re the easiest to manipulate, that’s why they want him there in the first place.

        Other presidents may not have been directly bombes Iran but they would gives Israel the funding and equipment to attack It is still terrible . The usa did multiple military excerice specifically to attack Iran during Biden and Hillary also on tape talking about attacking Iran if at any phase of building nukes, she could easily use the same lie as Trump . No need to spread Obama statement that make him looks like he ever cared about Iranians.

          Obama actively sought peace with Iran and left office with relations at their best point in 40 years

            Intelligence agencies concluded in 2007 that Iran stopped its nuclear weaponization program in 2003. I don’t understand why people think the JCPOA was some sort of amazing achievement. Obama still kept the sanctions on the missile program. Without those missiles, Iran today may have already lost. He also allowed cyberattacks on Iran. The $38 billion over 10 years applied until 2028, effectively being used in the current war. He is better than Trump, but let’s not pretend that Obama was such a great president in terms of foreign policy.
