Banging drums and chanting for regime change, the giant and boisterous rally in Munich was part of what Pahlavi described as a “global day of action” to support Iranians in the wake of deadly nationwide protests. He also called for demonstrations in Los Angeles and Toronto. Police said in a post on X that the number of protesters reached some 250,000, more than the organizers had expected.

The Ayatollah Khomeini did not invade Iran with a foreign army. The wonderful, peace loving, freedom loving people of Iran put the Mullahs in power. They should get to keep want that chose. Of course Pahlavi would like the US to put him on the throne; we ain’t into that shit any more.

He is openly calling for the West to rescue his country.

“We gather at an hour of profound peril to ask: Will the world stand with the people of Iran?” he asked. He added that the survival of Iran’s government “sends a clear signal to every bully: kill enough people and you stay in power.”

You assume way to much. Or you are incapable of recognizing sarcasm.

The people themselves are calling for and awaiting a military attack on their own country in order to get rid of the regime. Seriously. People are watching the skies and hoping it happens soon. Every day that goes by, people are being executed for taking part in the protests.

Sarcasm? No. I’m usually one who points it out to others.

This guy wants to exchange the current dictator with an secret police to him and his secret police. How about a real federal republic for Iran? Those old Islamic laws don’t work and are used to oppress people.

How many people live in Iran? are there not enough of them to rescue their own country? Who do you think is going to rescue America after the flood of foreign invaders take over the US and install a socialist government of their liking? Enough of Iran. If they threaten US then we should destroy them, if it’s a civil matter, they should settle it themselves.

The “people of iran” can suck it.

Storm those gates, take your casualties and mind your manners for about 100 years and maybe, just maybe, you can join the civilized world.

Until then….

“I let the Prime Minister Netanyahiu know that negotiation is my preference,” Trump said.

Still, bomb-happy Bibi reportedly brought intelligence material to the Trump meeting intended to convince Trump to target Iran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, Israeli news outlet i24News reported.


An astute FReeper posted: There are those so blinded by annual billions of US tax dollars blanketing tiny Israel that “Americans not wanting another Middle East war (just because Israel wants it) is deemed ANTISEMITIC.” Do we really want to get into a war with Iran ....... a country twice the size of Iraq? With 67 million people who HATE us?

Reality Check

Iran has a large military in terms of personnel, tanks, and regional
proxies, plus Iran has larger numbers in its missile arsenal.

Yet, Israel is generally seen as militarily stronger due to its annoyingly persistent lobby embedding
Israel’s “qualitative edge” in US law without the knowledge and acquiescence of US taxpayers.

Israel slobbers at the US funding trough 24/7 and is dependent on US tax dollars to advance its air power, the paper tiger of its super-hyped intelligence apparat, and its presumably “cutting-edge” technology financed with US tax dollars.

Israeli military is totally dependent on US tax dollars and thus can throw around its military weight against anyone who stands in the way of Israel’s quest for world domination.

Israel makes a sophomoric show-and-tell of “strong US support”.

US taxpayer outlays for its multi-layered air defense system are massive.......
thus making Israel appear to be superior in technological and military effectiveness.

Performative crap.

Supportive marches in cities thousands of miles away from Iran itself are meaningless. If they want to get rid of that regime, they need people willing and able to kill enough of the regime and its supporters to make them quit.
