2015, the Iran nuclear deal unlocked access to roughly $100B to $150B in Iranian funds, and people keep lazily calling it “Obama gave them cash” which is not even how it worked. Barack Obama did not wire Iran a blank check, most of that money was Iran’s own frozen assets getting released. But here is the uncomfortable part nobody wants to sit with, once that money was freed up, Iran absolutely kept funding groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, that is documented over years, so acting like the cash had zero downstream impact is just as dumb as pretending Obama handed them a suitcase. Mohammed bin Salman is not giving you neutral analysis either, he has every reason to hammer Iran publicly, so yeah, both sides are spinning hard, but the real takeaway is this, a massive pile of money got unlocked, and pretending it stayed clean in a region full of proxy wars is straight up delusion.
Saudi Prince MbS reveals that President Obama gave Iran $150 billion, and the IRGC didn’t even build a single street with that money.
Instead, they made missiles and drones. And they used the funds Obama provided them to finance and arm terrorists like Hamas, Ansar Allah, and Hezbollah. With these funds, Iran offers safe harbor to the leaders of Al Qaeda, including one of Osama Bin Laden’s sons who was indoctrinated into jihadism.
Obama is by far the worst man to ever set foot in the Oval Office. The neoliberals like Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc. who ran his administration did so deliberately in order to keep the region destabilized and to use Iran as a buffer to prevent the Gulf states and Israel from amassing too much prosperity.
The Arab Spring in turn was their way of creating a refugee crisis that would plunge Europe into financial and social turmoil, the effects of which are plain to see today as they struggle with irreversible demographic change.
Chaos is a ladder, and peace is bad for the Democrats. It was the their way of keeping the Middle East down so they could retain the unipolar world order under the neoliberal agenda.
The neoliberals did the same with Ukraine, and they tried to do it with Kazakhstan, Belarus, Georgia, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. And they did so through USAID.
Evil, evil stuff.
