I’m really sorry about this, but IMO, we don’t have another thirty or more years for cultural changes by way of public affairs movements. It’s more likely that if we continue to follow the current paradigm, nukes will fly. The East-West balance of power is about to change very quickly in an unstable environment. At first thought, that might seem to be a good situation for Iran: a close ally of the East. But it might also be wise to think again.
The Regime in Iran is ready to fall. If we had a CIA that was good as we deserve, they would have been able to help the anti government protesters and maybe get rid of the nut job in chief there.
The People of Iran dont want the current regime, but might rally behind it if attacked. The Germans thought the Russian people would welcome them, not realizing the people werent fighting for Stalin but for thier homes. A revolution would be better but most likey not in the cards.
