What's the specific content of the socalled MOU, that POTUS signed in Versaillles, France? [Plain and simple : I'm so dumb that I appearently can't find it anywhere! lol!]

The setting is so fitting for the occasion as didn’t Germany also signed the treaty of Versailles officially acknowledging their defeat in 1919!

Mike [ @cubsfan ], Richard [ @RichardGibbons ], @dwy000 & @73 Reds,

 

I'm just asking here, because I'm confused and a bit lost. What's the discussion basis [source] for these socalled USD 300 billion?

The above based what I experienced on miscellaneous TV-cannels and read on various news media yesterday, found this this morning - is this it? :

 

CNN - World [June 17^th 2026] : US releases official agreement with Iran. Read the 14-point text

John, your guess is as good as mine.  People who make assumptions are only arguing their "book" or bias.   Likewise, media jumps to conclusions because that is what they do.

You got it right @John Hjorth 

 

According to our buddies on CoBF, the $300B will be handed over by all of Iran's mortal enemies, just so Iran can rebuild their nukes and military - then Iran can start attacking their neighbors again.

 

The brain trust on CoBF strikes again.

Thanks, @73 Reds.

 

So, I have not been the only one. To me, that's a weird and questional public communication strategy about the MOU.

Thanks Mike [ @cubsfan ],

 

My post was about my fumbling for facts because of the lack of actual, factual and tangible data points, facts.

Got it John.  Here's some facts:

 

- Iran is bankrupt

- It's military destroyed

- IRGC leadership, many dead

- Iran has no friends in the Gulf

- Finally, the US Military can do anything they wish to Iran for the next several years

 

When one understands that - Europe should be delighted.

Some other facts:

 

- Iran is bankrupt...essentially has been for over a decade

- Iran's military is destroyed, but not their drones and soldiers

- IRGC leadership, only half dead

- Iran has no friends in the Gulf, except the United States

- Finally, the US Military can do anything they wish to Iran for the next several years...but they won't because they need the SOH open

 

When one understands that - Iran should be delighted.  Especially with $25B of sanctioned assets returned and $300B in reparation funds!

I seem to recall someone posting here recently about their concern for the US’s dwindling munitions. This poster was quickly admonished and ridiculed by the local Politics Thread experts/trolls/TWS’s for having this viewpoint. 
 

Welp…turns out Trumpy has the same concerns!  Huh, that’s weird!  I guess Trump will now be ridiculed as well as he has the same viewpoint. Trump must have a case of TDS? Have we heard that argument yet?

 

Trump Invokes Cold War-Era Law to Boost Munitions Production

“I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs,” Trump wrote in a June 11 memo to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Trump cited “limited production capacity, fragile supply chains, long-lead dependencies, and related production bottlenecks.”

Me too - especially the reason WHY Iran has no friends in the Gulf except the US.  Who'da thunk it?
