I see this as a version of the 80/20 issues that now seem common in the US.

In a situation in which 80% of the US population supports something (ex. the SAVE Act), the Democrats choose to support the side of the issue preferred by 20% of the population. It’s dumb.

With Iran, the government has chosen extremely poorly. They have no friends. They are making as many enemies as they can. The government is in a hopeless situation. The government is on the 20% side.

The Iranian people better realize that they are the 80% side as soon as they rise up. They better get to it.

NOTE: I’m not trying to predict population percentages in Iran for government support. I’m merely saying that one side is an obvious loser. The People ought to see that and take steps to put themselves on the side that will obviously win.

Totally agree.

That’s the whole point.

Everything depends on that. Hope they have somehow gotten armed in preparation for this time.
