P.S. Did Mikesze really present his "bunker priority" theory as fact? Good God man, the effects of TDS may be worse than we originally thought.

I think you are confused. I think you mean Obama loved giving terrorist nations billions of dollars to build their bombs. Including the ones you saw tonight.

Considering Trump referenced it yet again this morning and it's been a constant talking point of the right since he came into office, I'd like to point out two inaccuracies: 

• No $150b payout ever occurred. Iran's previously frozen assets were released as part of the multinational agreement signed in 2015 as a result of Iran committing to restrain their nuclear development program. It was theirs to begin with. 
  
• $400m was transferred from the US Treasury (with the understanding that another $1.4b in interest would be paid later) as an IOU from the 1970s - one where we never made good on paying for military equipment because of Iran's instability at the time. 
  

Regardless, I have no doubt they're now using those funds to develop weapons.
