The ayatollah sent the religious police door to door to confiscate firearms after the Iranian revolution of 1979.

It took ten days from the beginning of the Romanian protests in December 1989 until the government had been overthrown and the Ceaușescus had been executed. May a new Iranian revolution occur just as fast.

To the people of Iran: Use a rock to get a knife, use a knife to get a gun, use a gun to get more guns and put these mullahs where they belong - in the ground.

Was only a question of time before the shooting would start. Populace largely unarmed. But that could change...

The “unwashed masses” in Iran don’t want to be nuked because of the stupid-azz wierd beard mullahs that are in charge.
To the “unwashed” Iranians: once you get em.....kill em ALL.

At least we're not helping the regime any more... at least Trump doesn't want to. Of course there are probably still many in the State Dept., CIA, NSA, etc. who actively working on behalf on the regime... but in a couple of years we should be able to end all that.

Unless the military backs the people this exercise is doomed to destruction like the Tiananeman Square protests in China.

What the Iranians need is jOkeass to come straighten things out. If the Revolutionary Guard shoots him or the people string him upside down with piano wire, it all works for me.

So Trump wants regime change. The Democrat reply: “While we certainly support the right of the people to engage in peaceful dialogue with their government, one must remember that Trump is a Fascist and his involvement can only lead to more violence...just like in his campaign.

Hope those who “Protest” here in the U.S. read about this, perhaps they will think twice......”Nah, they don’t

“think”, they just do.
