I've seen too much bullsh!t propaganda from the globalists who push for U.S. intervention all over the world to pay any mind to this.

The disgraceful NWO propaganda campaigns before the Iraq/Kuwait conflicts seem to have vanished from the memories of too many people here.

In fact, that’s what drove a lot of opposition to the Shah, even amongst those who weren’t particularly religious, the Shah’s closeness with Israel.

I hope we can help these folks

All I know, is that if we had a hand in starting this, we better damn well follow through to the end!

People are getting killed!

Zip guns aren’t hard to make, and any gun gets you a BETTER gun. Go door to door to THEIR homes. Time to shoot back.

Things get serious when the IRG calls on Palestinian thugs to suppress the rioters as they did last time. That they are not there yet must have to do with being tied up in Syria. I’m sure between al Qods, Hezbollah, and other troops in Syria they can scrape up a few dozen Palestinian mass murderers and sadists and bring them back for the rioters’ edification.

For God’s sake, Mr. President, do something!!

He should make a strong statement of support for the Iranian demonstrators, put our naval forces in the Gulf on alert, and have his press secretary provide daily updates on the situation in Iran.

The mullahcracy’s hatred for the `Great Satan’ is already white hot. A thumb in their eye from DJT can’t make it any worse and will galvanize the people in the streets.

Iranians need to free Iran. We pumped a ton of weapons into Iraq, Kurds .... I’m sure some ended up in free Iran forces hands I hope but the USA can’t help otherwise we taint it. Drop guns, supplies via SA and others - yes. Curious timing isn’t it. Think about it. Trump did help long before you demanded it.

The Shah was against drugs and the drug trade. So was Khadafi.

Soros will not allow that.

Understood — thanks! There’s a reason why most of these countries are unstable dumps, and the U.S. is in no position to run around fixing them all.
