President Trump may very well have ended twenty-six years of communist dictatorship in Venezuela. By cutting off Venezuelan oil and economic relief to Cuba, there’s a chance that sixty-seven years of communist dictatorship will soon come to an end in Castro’s Caribbean prison, too. Right now Iran’s Islamic dictatorship is teetering and showing signs of potential collapse — forty-seven years after Jimmy Carter’s foreign policy “boys” allowed theocratic tyrants to take the strategically pivotal country before also taking fifty-two Americans hostage for four hundred and forty-four days. Finally, the European Union now realizes that President Trump is serious about keeping North America’s Greenland out of the hands of the Russians and Chinese.
A saying — falsely attributed to Vladimir Lenin — strikes a chord of truth these days: There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen. Today is no accident of historical fate. We’re on “Trump Time” now, during which the man in charge is making moves around the world faster than most anyone thought possible. Love him or hate him, join him or oppose him, marvel at him or demean him — President Trump is the driving force remaking our world today.
Information coming out of Iran is difficult to verify. We know that incredibly large protests against the ruling theocratic regime have been taking place in cities and towns across the country. There are reports that civilians are burning mosques and government buildings and attacking the regime’s armed enforcers. There are reports that Iranian troops have killed a large number of protesters. The Iranian dictatorship has cut off Internet access to the outside world and made it difficult for cross-border communication.
Still, President Trump has told Iran’s Supreme Leader that the U.S. will not stand idly by while Islamic thugs murder civilians.

Why don’t we give the mullahs pallets of money or something stupid like that?
Trump will speak to the WEF next week. I think they won’t like what he says.
Another “American” Thinker article about Iran, trying to fly under the radar with a Monroe Doctrine cover story.
Iran is not in the Western Hemisphere. I don’t know if it belongs in a Russian or Chinese sphere of influence, or if it creates its own (which Shia Islam has never really accomplished) - but it’s very far away from Cuba and Venezuela. It’s even far away from Greenland.
Neocon trash masquerading as new media.
Some of the accomplishments of the Trump administration. HOORAY Trump administration!
Iran is the center of Islamic terror around the world and they are a sweetheart of Obozo’s Islamic faith. His noted quote, which goes something like this - If the winds of the political world should ever blow hot against Iran, I will be there to support Iran and Islam. Obozo’s subversion of America lies at the heart his Islamic faith and Iranian tyranny and most sentient human beings know it, but feign ignorance.
I am honored to be alive during President Trumps Presidency. He is truly an exceptional leader of the free world.
0bozo tried to enable Iran to develop a nuclear weapon under the pretext of trying to stop them.
We are experiencing one of the most important year in American History
It is like say 1776 or 1861
And if they'd stick to their own business, they would be none of ours. They don't. Their tentacles are global, including in Venezuela and the US. "Leave them alone" will accomplish nothing, as the ideology of Islam leaves them no other pathway.
Then what? That hornet's nest was stirred over 700 years ago. If you understood your Bible you'd realize that it started in the character of Ishmael. Modern weapons and transportation give them the means to do us significant harm, which they intend with every fiber of their being and pray to accomplish five times a day. They're not going to quit and mind their own business. Ever.
Trump is trying to turn them back into Persians. If the shah presides, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them change the name. That would help.
“...trying to fly under the radar with a Monroe Doctrine cover story.”
You need to sharpen up your reading comprehension skills. He did not use the Monroe Doctrine as a cover story. He mentioned it as an example of Trump dismantling the New World Order.
Following in the footsteps of "National" Review.
His security detail better be on the alert
Thinking outside the box" is quite helpful when the two greatest threats to peace-lovers around the world have a global footprint and are to a large extent coordinated.
He trashes it, but is accelerating it. Weird… it like he has no idea what he is doing.
... you’re not paying attention if you really think American Thinker is anything but solid Conservative... read a little and stay away from stupid comments ... ymmv
“President Trump may very well have ended twenty-six years of communist dictatorship in Venezuela.”
Meanwhile in NYC and Seattle it’s on the rise.
