You know how long we had been holding their money? It was their money. How indebted to Russian interests is Trump? Oh yeah, we'll only know when Mueller discloses his tax returns because Trump is trying to keep that a secret, but you don't care. We gave Kim things for nothing what did Trump agree to give Putin in that 2 hour meeting? But you don't care. Like lil 'joe said, "It all depends on if they have a little r or d behind their name".

Part of that money was for F-14s, missiles for F-14s, and F-14 spare parts. Iran had ordered 80 F-14s, when the only other customer was the US Navy. The deliveries had not been completed by the time of the Iranian Revolution, and US ordered Grumman to stop deliveries, even though payment had already been received.

I almost got caught up in that mess. In 1972, I had been assigned to VF-1, one of the first Navy F-14 squadrons. In 1976 I was rotated to shore duty (not much of a transfer - after two days of paperwork I ended up back in the same electronics repair lab at NAS Miramar where I had been working before). In November 76 my enlistment expired, and I was contacted by a third-party contractor who was hiring experienced F-14 maintainers for 2-year contracts working in Iran on their F-14s. The terms were pretty attractive - 2 years guaranteed at good wages, transportation and secure housing provided, plus a 2-week R&R trip every year to almost anywhere in the world, and a big bonus for sticking with it for the full 2 years. I decided to go back to college at SDSU instead, and maybe take a job with them later. As it turned out, the revolution happened before I finished school.

I heard from people I knew that went over there that when the Americans evacuated, not one of the Iranian F-14s had been left in flyable condition. The IIAF eventually got most of them working and they participated in the Iran-Iraq War in the 80's. They still have the only F-14s flying and they are still competitive against other air forces in that region.

For it has never occurred to me that the moral responsibility falls much less heavily on those of us on the American left than it fell on Comrade Stalin and those who replicated his feats in one country after another. And I am afraid that some of that moral responsibility falls on the "democratic socialists," "radical democrats," and other left wingers who endlessly denounced Stalinism but could usually be counted on to support— "critically," of course—the essentials of our political line on world and national affairs.--Genovese

Doesn't matter what he does that is well established. He's done everything they accused Obama/Hillary of tenfold. As he said he could shoot someone, in this case Uncle Sam, and they wouldn't care. He could give Putin the keys to the country (or the nuclear codes) and they wouldn't blink, in fact they would wonder why everyone else is so upset. It's not what he's done or does, but what he will allow to get done, its' a Faustian bargain.

I think the larger issue is that after his European Blitzkrieg and Russia suck up- a lot of folks are really starting to question Trumps behavior and competence. And that makes taking a leadership roll, on guns and getting people to go along with your plan to build giant detention centers, a lot more complicated.

They took hostages, we froze 12 billion.
Obama gives the Iranians somewhere between 100 and 150 bil.
