    So the reparations are real and paid by the gulf! 🤭

    They (the gulf states) must be so thankful to the US and Israel for this position they put them in.

      The gulf states will be fairly compensated, otherwise they’d never have agreed to it

      At the end of the day, I’m sure a good chunk of the money will functionally come from US taxpayers

    It’s reparation for damage from a belligerent attack, so as bad as that is is better fucking be from the US coffers. You do the crime, you pay the dime.

      Could be a laundering scheme for either US funds or frozen Iranian funds to be distributed to Iran.

      So it doesn’t appeat like the US is giving Iran money before the pro-Israel contingent in the US. Plausible deniability.

    This could trigger in the USA conditions similar to how the Treaty of Versailles affected Germany
