      Iran is now claiming the rescue was unsuccessful.

      Given how trustworthy the two sides are, I won’t believe where the guy is until he comes out and reveals himself.

        Ah! Excellent question.

        It is estimated that there are 92 million people living in Iran. The price of a human, ignoring the human’s net worth, has a lower bound of 1 million USD (based off the heart alone).

        With some simple math, it can be deduced that Iran currently holds at least 92 trillion dollars of human wealth.

        Since Iran is considered to be an enemy of the US, that 92 trillion is subtracted off of the US GDP (~30.5 trillion USD), which puts the US in the red.

        Therefore, Trump must reduce Iran’s stockpiles of human wealth to get the US GDP to at least break even.

        I am sure you understand, now that I put this in this very logical way.

        /s if there’s any confusion

      Of course. Nobody is contesting that.

      None of this was necessary to begin with- that’s why the costs are being discussed.

        No, I’m contesting that.

        Stupid murderous scum following the orders of a rapist pig pulling stock market schemes don’t deserve to be rescued.

      How many Americans could be fed or housed for $2 billion? You could save a lot more lives that way.

      $2 billion isn’t how much it costs to bring them back; it’s how much it costs to bring them back without making any concessions to Iran. There was always the option where they’re brought back through negotiations with Iran, which would’ve cost far less than $2 billion.
