It’s working — most excellent. Imagine: during the disastrous presidency of Barack Hussein Obama, we were underwriting this savage war campaign of genocide in the cause of Islamic imperialism. We were paying those who were screaming “Death to America.” But now Trump is not just talking tough, he is acting. The Wall Street Journal article “U.S. Targets ‘Vast Network’ Evading Iran Sanctions” details how. Consequently, the jihad murder groups are running out of money: “As Hubbard wrote: “The golden days are gone and will never return,” said a fighter with an Iranian-backed militia in Syria who recently lost a third of his salary and other benefits. “Iran doesn’t have enough money to give us.”
“Trump’s Iran sanctions hit terrorists hard,” by Jonathan S. Tobin, JNS, April 1, 2019:
(March 28, 2019 / JNS) With weeks to go until the deadline to make a decision, the debate inside the Trump administration is heating up. The choice involves whether to continue to allow eight foreign nations to go on selling oil to Iran via waivers that allow them to legally evade the sanctions the United States re-imposed on when U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal with Tehran.
Story continues below advertisementBut ironically the argument for ending the waivers got a boost today from a source that is hostile to Trump’s tough policy towards Iran: The New York Times. In an article filed by Beirut bureau chief Ben Hubbard, the Times reported that, contrary to the predictions of Trump’s critics, the sanctions that have been enforced in the last year have had a discernible impact on the Iranians. Among those most feeling the pinch from the austerity imposed by American restrictions on commerce with Iran are the terrorist groups that it funds.

As Hubbard wrote: “The golden days are gone and will never return,” said a fighter with an Iranian-backed militia in Syria who recently lost a third of his salary and other benefits. “Iran doesn’t have enough money to give us.”
Even Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah conceded the impact U.S. sanctions have been having on the ability of his Iranian masters to fund his group’s misdeeds. He lamented that the sanctions are “a form of war” and implored members of his group tasked with “fundraising”—a term that has a very different meaning for the Shi’ite terror group than for charitable organizations that don’t consider kidnapping and extortion an essential element of their appeals—to redouble their efforts.
The Obama administration lifted sanctions and gave thousands of waivers to companies and countries to do business with Iran, despite U.S. laws that forbade such conduct. The Trump administration has tried to shut down legal methods of commerce with the ayatollah’s regime, as well as ferret out illegal scams. Just this week, the Treasury Department announced that it had disrupted a billion-dollar currency trading scheme that Tehran used to help fund its military adventures on the part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
As long as Iran still is able to count on countries like China, India, Japan, Turkey, Italy, Greece, South Korea and Taiwan to buy its oil, it will retain the ability to go on funding terror and military efforts aimed at achieving regional hegemony. That money also enables these brutal theocrats to help keep the restive Iranian people from threatening the regime.
With the Iranian economy tanking, this would seem to be exactly the right moment for the United States to tighten the noose around Tehran to the point where even countries like France and Germany, which have put their own financial interests above that of the collective security of the West, will understand that they must stop trying to prop up their Iranian business partners….

I think with the sanctions working we should FOCUS ON OUR OWN INVASION AT THE BORDER!
What good will we be to ourselves or others if we are taken over? At some point when does the US become a priority? Trump has the authority to STOP all legal and illegal immigration – USE IT! Stop playing around with shutting down the border and having a commerce nightmare. I am getting frustrated because the numbers are staggering. We should be describing the fake asylum claims and migrants in terms of BATTALIONS! A typical Battalion consists of somewhere between 300 and 1500 men. We are being invaded by four or five battalions a day and releasing them by even larger amounts with millions coming.

Pssst Mike – we know the DEMS will do nothing. It is TRUMP who will have to do something and it doesn’t have to be leveraging money or commerce.
Trump has the authority to STOP LEGAL AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. USE IT!
Continue building the wall but STOP TAKING THEM IN and FREEZE ALL IMMIGRATION!
Give them NO INCENTIVE to come here. Shutting down “parts” of the border still incents them to keep coming.

535 Congogressmen + 1 Negro should be arrested and the ringleaders hanged. This is what is NEEDED. We may lose our next war because of this Negro sodomite.
It might take Trump two terms to reverse course completely. One term if he hangs them now.

Didn’t someone once say, “Money is the root of all evil”?

A sight correction: The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). As we know, money can be used for good, to help those who have a real need. But Iran, and those who were aiding that nation, were using money for evil purposes, to fund their own agenda.

Don’t know for sure 🙂 But here are the words of Yeshua: “And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by unrighteous mammon, that when you fail, they may receive you into an everlasting home” (Luke 16:9 NKJV). As long as we are on earth, money is a necessary “evil” to keep the economy moving, but we must be good stewards of it. (Another alternative is bartering.)

There is little that the US can do against China buying Iranian oil. However they can do quite a lot by putting pressure on India, Japan, Turkey, Italy, Greece, South Korea and Taiwan.
