Middle East media has reported Iran cutting funds to militia groups in Syria as its economy continues to suffer from the renewed imposition of US sanctions.
According to reports, militant groups backed by Tehran have reported to have missed paychecks over the past months. Even financial aid to Iran’s closest Arab ally, the Lebanese Hezbollah, has dried up in the recent period.
Of course no one should be surprised at these developments. The American sanctions that kicked back in last November were designed well. They’ve hit Iran’s biggest industries, especially the oil sector, and have been slowly producing devastating effects. In January, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran is facing its toughest economic situation in 40 years, and that the United States was squarely to blame.

Update: Iran cuts Syria militia funds as US economic sanctions tighten (Middle East Monitor)
WNU Editor: When President Hassan Rouhani said that Iran is facing its toughest economic situation in 40 years, that got my attention. Fighting wars, even through proxies, is a very expensive proposition. If you do not have the economic resources to sustain it, you will eventually lose. And while I believe Iran will continue to spend heavily in places like Syria or Yemen, U.S. sanctions is bleeding them everywhere else.

Yep. The obamma days are over it appears. Bothersome, though, are the attempts at creating trading partnerships among sanctioned countries in an attempt to bypass the squeeze.
We are on the right way.
Everything Obama did is being unraveled and replaced as it had to be.

"his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort " -Raw Story
You can forgive a fish for getting caught hook, line and sinker. It must hurt having a hook set inside the stomach.
Manafort was hired for 3 months in a 2 year campaign (17 months). Trump announced June 16, 2015. He was elected November 9, 2016. That is about 17 months. It depends on how much of a stickler you are for full weeks or full months. So let's just round it, since some people have a hard time with numbers unless they run to their accountant.
Trump had 3 campaign managers (whatever that means) Kellyanne Conway, David Bossie, and
Michael Glassner. What does it mean? I have a father whose official title is "Engineer" and he went to business school. So go figure.
"Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign chairman, who was brought in during the primary to prepare for a contested convention, assumed the role of chief strategist"
Manafort was brought in to keep delegates from jumping ship, who Trump won in primaries from voting for 'fish' ( a wrestler in a match who is pinned easily and gives up with virtually no fight) like Jeb Bush. That must seem like a lot of Russian influence there to a macaw.
"In February 2016, Manafort approached Donald Trump through a mutual friend, Thomas J. Barrack Jr. He pointed out his experience advising presidential campaigns in the United States and around the world, described himself as an outsider not connected to the Washington establishment, and offered to work without salary.[47] In March 2016, he joined Trump's presidential campaign to take the lead in getting commitments from convention delegates. ...
On August 17, 2016, Donald Trump received his first security briefing.[55] The same day, August 17, Trump shook up his campaign organization in a way that appeared to minimize Manafort's role.
However, two days later, Trump announced his acceptance of Manafort's resignation from the campaign"
June 20, 2016 to August 19,2016
I am suppose to get all excited?
What I am getting is a jaundiced view of some people's intelligence. The type of people, who were socially promoted, to department chair. Paul Fussell was right.
Meanwhile Joe Biden's son is on the board of Burisma Holdings in Ukraine.
"In December 2013 Hunter Biden, son of Joe Biden, travels with his father aboard Air Force Two to Beijing...Shortly after they return to the U.S., Hunter Biden’s firm receives a $1 billion private equity deal from the Chinese government. Not from an American business in China; from the Chinese government itself. It later gets increased to $1.5 billion."
Parrots are so God Damned Stupid!
LOL!! Give it up will ya!?
