It appears the IMF has rejected a $5bn emergency loan to Iran to fight Covid-19 due to US veto. The loan opportunity was announced recently to help countries deal with the pandemic. Iran applied. The EU supported Iran's request. The US vetoed it. This is what sanctions do.

There has to be more context. I thought Jefferson believed in a prime mover, not an interventionist God? Which would be required to be a God that cares about justice.

You trust that the Iranian Government would use it to help their people? Doubtful. Sending them drugs and equipment would be a better idea.

People live in Iran ... We need a rebellion ... just like it says in the Declaration of Independence ... we need to throw Trump out ... "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it."

The permanent votes on the security council should have had a fucking sunset period They're not even remotely relevant anymore, they're just obstructive.

There's an image in my mind about this but it's too rude to put into typeface. Shame on them.

You can't stop hate and wars if you don't stand on a foundation of doing the right thing. The US missed a huge chance to take the moral high ground! Hate begets hate. How low have we sunk!! Where is real leadership??
