[Rajoo]

This one will be worth watching closely especially the financing of the $17 Billion.
If only Trump can figure out a way to claim credit for making this deal...............

That'll really freak out the anti-Iran deal hawks.

Maybe Boeing will give the Cheetolini a 10% discount on Hair Force One?

There's no figuring involved. He just does it.

Well, now that we're a country that makes deals with state-sponsors of terrorism, let's go all in and sell them some 737's and 777's. Why not?

Reagan sold them missiles. Why shouldn't we sell them passenger jets?

Well, that was St. Ronnie, pilgrim! Don't you know you there is a separate standard for anyone who promises cheap bastards a tax cut?

Great. A bit of historical revisionism thrown in to the thread. Nice job.

From your link (did you even read it first)?

To this day, Reagan's role in the transactions is not definitively known; it is unclear exactly what Reagan knew and when, and whether the arms sales were motivated by his desire to save the U.S. hostages.

So yes, thank you for that link.
