Were probably not getting the whole story. During Vietnam, communist sympathizers hiked across the border from Cambodia to show solidarity against the oppressive American regime. They were executed as spies. As I recall at least one of these Iranian border hikers hailed from Berkley or Cambridge; cant recall which now. But its likely they went to Iran for the same reason.
It seems inconceivable from the lefties that a fascist regime will not throw open its arms as the VC did for Jane Fonda. What a reality check this must be for them.
Think about it logically. Who is going to go hiking in the sh*tpit capital of the world when the US has the best trails and scenery in the world?
“During Vietnam, communist sympathizers hiked across the border from Cambodia to show solidarity against the oppressive American regime.”
The Khmer Rouge did the same thing to journalists dying to get the story (literally).
You make excellent posts, just one thing I disagree on. Canada has the world’s best trails and scenery. When God made the world, after he had everything down perfect, he made British Columbia heh. Cheers!
Oddly, to me anyway, their parents haven’t had a lot to say about the whole deal. They obviously fronted some of the bucks that financed the “most excellent adventure”. I charged the whole thing up to the success of the Darwin Theory-—these morons have taken themselves out of the gene pool for 8 years at least
It’s not cool to go to your fellow trust funders and say you hiked in Colorado. I used to work in Boulder, Co. I know these people.
