Treasury Dept. Pulls the Plug on Iraq's 'Gift Card' to Iran: Based?
Biden Admin FINALLY does something right? US blocks $500M headed for Baghdad, probably destined for Tehran.

Alright, alright, alright. So, the Deep State, in its infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), apparently had a brief moment of clarity. Word on the street (via the failing Wall Street Journal, but still) is that the Treasury Department, run by the same geniuses who think inflation is 'transitory,' actually stopped a plane full of cold, hard American cash from landing in Iraq.
Why? Because, duh, everyone with half a brain knows that Baghdad is basically Tehran's ATM. That sweet Iraqi crude money? Yeah, a whole lotta that ends up funding the Ayatollah's shenanigans, from blowing up ships in the Strait of Hormuz to propping up Assad in Syria. It's basically a money-laundering operation on a geopolitical scale. Classic.
Now, before you start praising Biden for finally, FINALLY, doing something resembling foreign policy, let's not get carried away. This could be a total fluke. Maybe someone at Treasury accidentally hit the 'block' button while scrolling through TikTok. Or maybe they're just trying to look tough before the midterms. Who knows with these clowns?
But hey, I'll take it. A win is a win, even if it's accidental. Stopping $500 million from funding terrorist proxies is a good thing. Imagine how many IEDs that buys? How many missiles? How many 'peaceful protests' they can fund?
Of course, the usual suspects are already whining. 'But what about the Iraqi people?' they cry. 'This will destabilize the region!' Newsflash: the region is ALREADY destabilized. And last time I checked, Iran wasn't exactly running a charity for Iraqi orphans. They're funding militias and stirring up sectarian strife. So, yeah, maybe cutting off their funding stream is a good idea.
This whole thing is like watching your drunk uncle accidentally stumble upon a winning lottery ticket. You're happy he won, but you're still pretty sure he's going to blow it all on something stupid. But for now, let's just enjoy the moment. Let's celebrate the fact that, for once, the government actually did something that makes sense.
Will it last? Probably not. Will they find some other backdoor way to funnel money to Iran? Almost certainly. But hey, maybe, just maybe, this is the start of something. Maybe someone in Washington is finally waking up to the fact that Iran is not our friend. Probably not, but a CHUD can dream, can't he?
And remember folks, if you see any unmarked planes full of cash heading to Baghdad, say something! Don't be a bystander. Be a patriot. Do your part to keep America great. (And maybe buy some gold, just in case).
In conclusion, the US blocked some money to Iraq. That's good. But don't get your hopes up. The End.
