How is it a diversion when I am replying directly to the first point in your post?
Obama didn't pay for the 10 North Korean prisoner's' release.
The $4 billion top Iran was part of the no-nuke deal, and was their money that had been frozen by sanctions, It wasn't a gift or money or of pocket. It was their money being returned.
Oh yeah, in cash, in the middle of the night, in secret. Try again with the liberal lies.
I find this fascinating and it is one of the reasons why I voted for Trump.
Why is it bad to sit down with a world leader of an enemy or potential enemy to discuss ways to improve the relationship, situation or at the very least not let things lead to war?
We teach children to have dialogue with people who disagree with you or have problems with to see where is common ground, if anything can be done to at least peacefully coexist if nothing else.
When it comes to foreign diplomacy, Democrats are like, "NO, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SPEAK WITH AN ENEMY OR POTENTIAL ENEMY, JUST IGNORE IT AND ESCALATE RHETORIC UNTIL IT BOILS INTO A WAR!"
made up bs.
Republicans have started most of our wars, (look it up )
Republicans went insane when Obama suggested that under certain conditions he would talk to NK's leader.
so nope you are wrong bmw335, you have zero to support your claim and it is a historical fact that Republicans have dragged the US into war after war after war. It is what you guys do.

"The $1.8 billion
The Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress, reviewed this cash transfer in a 2018 report. It gave a total of $1.7 billion.
That was the amount that U.S. and Iranian negotiators settled on to resolve an arms contract between the United States and Iran that predated the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran had paid for military equipment, and it was never delivered.
As of 1990, there were $400 million in that account. Negotiators agreed that accrued interest would add $1.3 billion to the amount, which is a lot of money — but 25 years is a long time for interest to build up the balance.
The United States sent the money to Iran in euros, Swiss francs and other currencies. Trump embellished when he mentioned barrels and boxes. Reports at the time said the money was packed and loaded onto pallets, similar to how other bulk goods are shipped.

oh what nonsense.
The money has never been ours and the court said we had to give it back. But maybe you think law and order only matter when it suits you....
Do you unlblkrubi??? do you think the US should follow law as a matter of course, or just when it suits your desires????
because us liberals seem to be the only party that cares about law and order these days. The rethugs, are abandoning the principals this nation was founded on. next you guys will claim Putin is a good guy.
