80 percent of Iranians support regime change. Those who grew up after the revolution are overwhelmingly secular. I have nothing against Iranian people and am pulling for them to be set free from their oppressive regime.
Regimes like Iran’s, be they theocracies or idealogical, are brittle past their initial installation. Being brittle, they must continually shore up their strength and suppress their opponents. Doing Friday chants against the Great Satan (USA) and Israel does little to make life better for the general populace.
Trump has been successful in this region in spite of the naysayers. He dropped the Iran Treaty as soon as he could, he avoided the tar baby of Syria, he is pulling back from the quagmire that is Afghanistan and now there is the UAE-Israel Peace Accord. None of these helps the Iranian Mullahs.
The thing about brittle governments is that they can appear strong right up to the break but once that happens they are in deep doo-doo. Russia will try to support them as Iran and Syria are its proxies in the region. China is there too and is trying to use Pakistan in that support. What a difference for those Shite Mullahs in the past 5 years, from Obama’s gift of Billion$ and a acceptance path to power but now misery in almost every direction!
Mixed metaphor. Guess they are scared to use the correct term. For fear of being called niggardly.
The problem is the same every where....... old men.
As an old man, I believe that should the great Mullah die, the power vacuum created will eliminate the Ayatollah theocracy for good. The Iranian old men will lose control to younger old men who may be ood or merely not as bad
Meanwhile in America a relatively old man has resigned a fantastic career and taken control of America and doing a fantastic job of building and rebuilding. America is given the question should it elect an older man who suffers from being old while looking down the road to being older.
America may be unique in suffering worse from old women. Nancy Pelosi and Senator Gray Beaver would turn America into perdition out of pure old lady spite.
... uprisings can easily topple a repressive regime. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Islamic Republic of Iran will fall. The question is not if but when, and how.
````
Wrong question.
The real question is: how many Iranians are willing to die to topple the regime?
Oh please. Iranian govt has been on the verge of collapse for how long now?
