Wow! Great statement.

Our real shame is that Obama basically dumped the Iranian people in 2009 when they tried to rise up, and then sent the mullah 1.5 billion dollars (including Swiss francs, loaded on pallets into a plane) as a bribe.

That’s going to be hard to undo, but I think the massive inefficiency of an Islamic Communist dictatorship sort of like Albania is beginning to undo itself. Thank God Trump is supporting the process!

When last the Iranians protested their oppressive regime in 2009, Obama and Clinton were noticeably silent, refusing even to offer verbal acknowledgement of the events. They were content to see the protests crushed by their colluders in Teheran.

Obama abandoned the Iranian protestors last time they looked to the US to help them overthrow the mullahs.

Let's see how this plays out and how Trump responds.

This is nothing. Most Iranians support the government. The protests are about issues unrelated to international politics. The establishment media is hyping this up to build support for another war in the Middle East.

Why is an administration of savages respected by the balance of the civilized world leftists?

Simple admiration of the brutal, repressive administrative techniques to silence protest that socialists desire to bestow on their own sheeple.

Should go further than that and support the people’s desire to get rid of a brutal theocracy.

Leftards will stand against this, simply because Trump said it. Of course to the left, freedom is slavery.

This could be a repeat of the Iranian "Green Revolution" (or "Persian Awakening") from 2009 to 2012.

Back then, Obama sided with the Islamist regime over the protesters.

There were protests when Obama was President but he did nothing. Somehow I think things will be different under President Trump. There is a new Sheriff in town.
