you are going to have handgifted Trump a huge political win by allowing your side to be anchored to the defeated regime instead of seizing the opportunity to make it a "we all win here" outcome.
Fortunately, Trump can't win another term.
50 years ago we didn't have a government that needed a distraction from an ever-growing scandal.
Watergate? Iran Contra?
Popular accounts of US overthrows in Iran are misleading at best and some don't even make logical sense
Mossadegh was one very small part in a long sad history of modern Iran.
I foreclosed any possibility of voting for John McCain after his bomb bomb bomb Iran beach boys performance circa 2008.
Smart.
t ever since Chavez kicked out the US they had been getting better,
No LOL. This is an extremely ignorant statement. There's a reason that Venezuelans were celebrating the capture of Maduro.
For a while Chavez was great (and Bush should not have gotten rid of him), but over the years his popularity waned and Chavez/Maduro have needed to rely on rigged elections to win. This is widely documented, learn to read.
But the main reason I'd like to hear from an Iranian involves the last major war the Iranians were involved in.
Of course, every Iranian has different backgrounds, and supports/opposes/is indifferent for their own reasons. Some celebrating, some protesting.
There is some (click through to original sources) polling available but it's not as high quality or broad spectrum as one would like, so the margin of error is huge given the various sectors of society.
This video is a decent introduction to the various power players in Iran and how they got there. It's really understandable and appropriate that Iran would want to defend itself especially after being invaded so many times, but the approach the took to defending themselves antagonized everyone around them. Constantly shouting "death to America" is not the beginning of a good strategy.
What I wrote afterwards wasn't different. Just the same concept stated in a different way.
No it was different. So at this point are you going to keep lying to avoid admitting the truth.
So what he and netanyahu are doing is airstrikes that "accidentally" Target civilians in the hopes that he can provoke an attack from Iran or their proxies on American soldiers or boats
Maybe or maybe not, but Iran managed to provoke most of the gulf state kingdoms by hitting them with drones and missiles.
Incidentally, if Iran becomes democratic, the gulf state Kingdoms will suddenly become the worst dictatorships in the region. Not a great change for them.
I've heard it looks cool if you can get past how everything in the movie is fucking stupid and dumb but I just can't...
Once you remove everything stupid in that movie, there's nothing left. Even if you just want to watch light saber fights, the actors clearly didn't train very much.
I stand by what I wrote originally, and my clarifications afterwards.
So you stand by the fact you wrote something different afterwards than before. This was after you were challenged about the substance of what you read. You didn't read the article before did you?
