Other than talk, what should we do? I heard somebody on Fox (maybe it was John Bolton, I can’t remember for sure) say that the US could somehow restore the internet access that the regime is currently denying to its citizens. Not sure exactly how that could be accomplished, but it would be a big step if it can be done.

Mousa Ghazanfarabadi, head of the Revolutionary Court, warns that protesters will be charged with Moharebeh, “waging war against God,” which is punishable by death.

The state as god. No wonder leftists have such fondness for the current dictators in Iran.

Trump’s next tweet should be:

“We know our Iran policy is the correct policy because Iran sympathizer Susan Rice objects.”

I’m wondering though if there’s a case to be made for “better the devil you know”.

This revolt is totally leaderless. If they manage to toss out the mullahs who will fill the power vacuum?

Will we end up with another multi decade disaster like Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya...? And Iran is much bigger than any of these.

Do we have anyone in mind to take over the reins of power there or are we just going to settle with chaos, a multiyear civil war and million more refugees flooding the west?

I’m all for getting rid of the mullahs, but it’s worth asking, what’s going to replace them?

Do nothing. The American people should not make any sacrifices in blood or treasure for Iran. Eventually the medieval backward regime of the mullahs, that opposes the institutions, values, practices and freedoms people want, will collapse on its own because it is not sustainable. It will collapse sooner if people like Obama stop sending it hard currency and supporting it.
