Biden calls to ease Iranian sanctions due to coronavirus outbreak
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'...
called on President Trump to ease sanctions on Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
as the country deals with one of the deadliest coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
outbreaks in the world.

"In the midst of this deadly pandemic that respects no borders, the United States should take steps to offer what relief we can to those nations hardest hit by this virus ‐ including Iran ‐ even as we prioritize the health of the American people," Biden said in a statement on Thursday.

Iran, which has a population of about 83.7 million people, has reported more than 50,000 coronavirus cases and 3,160 deaths resulting from coronavirus complications, according to Johns Hopkins University, one of the highest corpse counts in the world.

"To stop this pandemic effectively, every country on earth will need to work together," Biden added. "Artificially limiting the flow of international humanitarian assistance to pursue a political point will not only allow the Iranian government to deflect responsibility for its own botched response, it will increase the threat this virus poses to the American people, now and in the future."

#2 Pretty much G. The only amusing side is that dementia Joe is to far gone to realize he's committing treason. Honestly I feel sorry for him.

And it is with this comment that you ran off the rails again, Mr. McCoy. Having forgotten about rising above, you now receive the cut direct until further notice.

#5 Don't be a twat, Herb. Medical and humanitarian goods have no tariffs or restrictions. We and others have offered help and assistance to Iran before and been rebuffed

#6 They absolutely rejected medical supplies which we have already offered. They want, really demanded money. Evidently a C 5 doesn't hold as much cash as you might have imagined.

#13 Every penny they don't have to spend on medical supplies will be spent on terrorism and nuclear weapons development. Fuck 'em.
