    Long article and behind the NYT paywall. But an interesting read about a powerful man in the Middle East.

    Count me as not believing that Iran and their proxies feel they have honorably and thoroughly avenged Soleimani's death. I fear that more innocents will die from Trump's impulsive and selfish actions.

    Proxies will act just as they've always done. Try to attack the US.

    Iran basically showed how powerless they are and Trump played his response masterfully.

    This is why I heart you thethe

    "Iran is to receive a huge shipment of natural uranium from Russia to compensate it for exporting tons of reactor coolant, diplomats say, in a move approved by the outgoing U.S. administration and other governments seeking to keep Tehran committed to a landmark nuclear pact."

    "The diplomats said any natural uranium transferred to Iran after the deal came into effect would be under strict surveillance by the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency for 25 years after implementation of the deal."

    "David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.”"

    "The swap is in compensation for the approximately 40 metric tons (44 tons) of heavy water exported by Iran to Russia since the nuclear agreement went into effect, said an official from one of the six powers, who also demanded anonymity citing confidentiality issues. Another 30 metric tons have gone to the U.S. and Oman.

    Heavy water is used to cool a type of reactor that produces more plutonium than reactors cooled by light water. Like enriched uranium, plutonium can be turned into the fissile core of a nuclear weapon."

    This wasn't rushed. This was done as part of the Iran Nuclear Deal. If you have an issue with the deal that's one thing. But don't make Fake News about this. Especially since the RNC Financier is the one who benefits from said deal the most.

    And the final pieces of it had to be shipped out before Trump got into office because he would never allow such a betrayal of our nation.

    Obama was a joke and the worst president this country ever had.

    Mexico's top cop who is the architect of Mexico's bloody war on cartels arrested in Dallas on conspiracy to traffic drugs charges. Facing 10 years to life. Hope they throw him in the deepest darkest hole they have.
