Remember that time President Carter arranged to free the hostages, then Ronald Reagan snuck in and had Iran wait on announcing their release until he was inaugurated, so that he could claim credit?

Oh, and didn’t Nixon pull a similar trick with Vietnam?

Must be an incoming GOP President maneuver.

ETA Gotta love this left-field static yammering on about Biden because nobody can comprehend that my comment was in response to a hot take on how trump wrangled a ceasefire deal JFC

Except no one prevented Biden from ending the genocide, making the comparisons incoherent.

What are you even looking at?

I was responding to a comment claiming that trump sent his emissaries to doha to broker a ceasefire.

As in trump is taking credit. I said nothing about Biden.

That just makes it even fucking worse that the Democrats continued to send tens of billions of dollars to Israel, deploy the US military to assist them, and block every diplomatic attempt to stop them.

Can you imagine is Carter kept repeatedly swearing his allegiance to Iran during the hostage crisis?
