Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Wednesday blasted the United States for threatening to cut aid to countries that vote at the UN General Assembly to reject President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
“Trump regime exposes contempt for democracy through its threats against those who dare resist its thuggish demands at the UN—all while Trump insults Iran crudely as ‘dictatorship,’” Zarif tweeted.
“US version of democracy stops at rhetoric of ‘either with us or against us,’" he added.

The UN is not a democracy. It’s an evil den of liars, thieves Marxists, Islamofascists, terrorists, cutthroats and dictators. Iran, for example.

I’m against foreign aid mostly, except for countries that suffer natural disasters. Like we have more negative money to give away? (debt)
BTW, Thank you for this great website, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

I forget: when is the Ayatollah up for election again? And is he going to stop pre-selecting all of the candidates for president and the rest?

What would the mad mullahs know about democracy? All they know is their cult.

Oh, good. The President has hit a major nerve in Iran.
Perhaps they’re getting the picture—their bumbling idiot bowing and scraping Muslim pal is gone.
And I’ll bet they’re just delighted to be spanked by a *woman*. I really underestimated Ambassador Haley in the beginning.

Damn straight he does. That’s because he knows the difference between a democracy and a Republic.

"US version of democracy stops at rhetoric of 'either with us or against us,' he added."
That's a direct and specific appeal to bitter political chatter heard from the U.K. and a few other European nations since the 9/11 attacks. They hated President Bush very much, because they thought he would be more like President Trump.

“Trump regime exposes contempt for democracy through its threats against those who dare resist its thuggish demands at the UN—all while Trump insults Iran crudely as ‘dictatorship,’” Zarif tweeted. Iran does not need any more money from the USA. Obama gave them billions of dollars for nothing in return, did he not?
Why should the USA give money to countries who hate us?

Scanning the headlines pre-coffee, this one registers as, yep, Trump acting true to expectations:

All is well in the Mideast.
Next?
