mr40, obviously the North Korean threat to cancel was outdated. It was included there to
remind you that the Trump cancellation was more political one-upmanship than much else.

As for your much repeated lie on the $400 million to Iran

... the $400 million dollar transfer was actually an openly announced one, paid in settlement of a nearly 40-year
dispute between Iran and the United States — a settlement that likely saved the United States several billion dollars.


[...]

Moreover, the basic logic of it didn’t make any sense. Iran was going to get that money back no matter what through the arbitration
process — probably more, if the Obama administration was right. Why would [Iran] release potentially valuable hostages
in exchange for money it would have gotten otherwise? Iran would have to be the world’s dumbest hostage taker.

It's not a scandal, despite what your fuhrer Trump tells you. There was no quid-pro-quo, so stop lying.

That is very old news, yet you still misrepresent the payment.
