Some call Trump's Iran protest tweets striking turnabout from Obama era

Estimates say that up to one million Iranians have been protesting across the country since Thursday in what one Iranian opposition group says has turned into a protest for regime change.

Those protesters are being buoyed by messages from the Trump administration, says the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), a coalition of democratic Iranian groups and personalities.

In two tweets earlier Saturday, President Donald Trump offered up a message of hope to the protesters: “The entire world understands that the good people of Iran want change, and, other than the vast military power of the United States, that Iran’s people are what their leaders fear the most…”

Trump added: “Oppressive regimes cannot endure forever, and the day will come when the Iranian people will face a choice. The World is watching!”

Obummer said NOTHING, he had plenty to say about Quadaffi and Tunisia and Egypt but he was DEAD SILENT in 2009 about overthrowing the Mullahs...

Iran was the one people’s revolution Obama did NOT support while he was president.

Obama didn’t just say things about Gaddafi. He used our embassy there to destabilize the government and arm the terrorist “insurgents”.

When Gaddafi was captured as a POW, he was tortured, abused, and murdered. Sec. of Hate Hillary Clinton took full credit for this war crime saying “WE came, WE saw, HE DIED!!! hahaha haha” on CBS News.

Obummer will clearly, unequivocally go down in history as THEE WORST foreign policy president—and by extension—THEE most anti-American ever elected!!!

How magnificent it is to have him succeeded by such an outstanding Commander-in-Chief who espouses America First priorities with virtually every statement he makes!!!

Obama screwed up in Libya BIG TIME, Gadafi was starting to soften and was getting more and moire moderate, and instead of encouraging him to moderate more we encouraged the worst forms of counter-government forces there that you could imagine and they ended up bayoneting and sodomizing him up the ass on the streets of Tripoli... Now what message does that send to every tin pot out there that may want to moderate themselves, well it tell them to clamp down EVEN HARDER. I honestly think Assad was saved by the fact that he was next up after Gadafi and he took very good notes. The left is all for revolution at any cost.... Here is their plan.

1. Foment a Revolution in a despotic country

2. Revolution in the streets

3. ???????????????

4. Somehow a Socialist Utopia emerges

They have no damned clue about step #3, because their end goal is UNREACHABLE, especially in culturally BACKWARDS areas of the world. The just see “Revolution” uitself as a “Noble Thing” because they have a kindergarten view of the world, well most do, the rest of them in power “the socialist elites” know EXACTLY the EVIL they WEAVE!

Honestly if little fat boy Kim Wrong Ill wanted to cede North Korea over to the South because there was an imminent Coup there, US should swoop in and give him safe passage to a mansion in New Zealand if he stands down all his forces, and actually HONOR such an agreement and Guarantee his SAFETY! Then you have fatass kim as a propaganda tool for all the starving people in the North to see that he sold them all out for a cushy living and later he can have a twinkle induced heart attack a few years later and there are celebrations in the formerly communist northern part of Korea.

Funny how Obama seemed to endorse every SINGLE REVOLUTION AGAINST SECULAR STRONGMEN in the MIDDLE EAST...

But when it came to the OVERTHROW OF THEOCRATIC RELIGIOUS RAN STATES..... HE WAS SILENT!!!

Any my libtard acquaintances think I was kooky for thinking that OBAMA WAS A MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER!

Obama is an atheist but he loves himself some Islamic theocratic rule.

I wonder what Nelson Mandela thought of President Obama whacking Mandela's pal, Momar Gaddafi.

Thanks for sharing your great analysis and insight with me.

Indeed, as President Trump often laments, he inherited a MESS.

BTW, I like your view vis-a-vis North Korea.

I could also post photos of Mandela embracing Fidel Castro and Yassir Arafat.

Come to think of it, Obama celebrated that man as well.

But Mandela at least promoted the concept of getting a voter ID card and then getting to vote.

The protesters last time, including young Neda the lion hearted, begged Obama for some show of support as they were being slaughtered in the streets by their own government.
