Well this be the time Iranian people will gain their freedom? Or will they be gunned down in the streets?
Over the years I’ve gotten to know few Iranians…thy really are good people, work hard and chased American dream.
I wish them all the luck in their endeavors…maybe Trump can push couple buttons to make this happen. Who knows.
Link Please. Thanks.
Years ago 60 Minutes did a story about how much the youth wanted to associate with the West. So I have been expecting a uprising against Khamenei for a while. Perhaps this is it.
I think that a lot of older folks there remember how good they had it when the Shah was in power.
Seriously?
It takes more time to post here asking for a link than it does to go to Google.and type in their search.
I swear its a control thing.
We need to stay the ■■■■ away from any involvement in any middle eastern regime change however minor or remote that involvement is.
It’s about time for humanity to move beyond religious dictatorship.
Would a chain link do?.. O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=…
You Welcome.
Why did you automatically go there?
The shah was installed when a US-backed military coup removed the elected government in 1953. I doubt that most Iranians want another shah.
I was surprised when a colleague returned to Iran after many years in the US. I expected he would come back to the US, but he is still there after at least ten years. He appears to be doing fine based on his posts on Linked-In.
The narrative that Iran is a backward, oppressive hellhole appears to be overblown.
yes of course, Putin said so
Protests in Iran is it
A. CIA
B. Mossad
C. Joint Operation
D. Baby Seals
I was replying to the below. Would be great to see the regime in Iran over thrown and for a less repressive an much freer form of government emerge but we do not need to get involved.
I’m with you.
I’d bet we have SOME sort of covert involvement, helping foment an internal uprising. By and large, though, I want to see it be as organic and internal as possible. The people there have to own it. Not the USA.
Headlines today say that the government is shutting things down and ordering police to clamp down on protests. Often that’s the best way to spur the natural human responses to resist even more. Look back on how it went in Poland.
I am sure you are right about covert operations helping to forment dissent and i suspect that has been going on a long time.
If and its a big if, the regime is overthrown we need to let the Iranians decide on what works for them. It will not be USA 2.0 and thats okay.
It is oppressive.
The world were the US govt. does not get us involved, does not attempt to manipulate the outcome, does not exist.
Unfortunately I believe people have been waiting for that for a generation. It seems to be one of those hopes that never materializes.
