Price protests turn political in Iran as rallies spread

Post by HokieHam »

Interesting.......If this spreads like it did in Obeezy’s first term, I’m sure Trump will handle it differently vs. the pussy.

Unfortunately, they have lots of money to buy ammunition to shoot students with thanks to politicians that HooFighter and IP voted for.

They’re already killing protesters. Let’s see if Trump handles this differently than President Pallet Cash.

Offering verbal support to the protestors is a great thing but beyond that what are the options :?:

What can the POTUS and the US do to show more than just verbal and twitter support :?: I truly don't know.

Yeah, not sure if there is much for a president to do other than to support the protests.

The dem solution is to give the mullahs nukes and cash.
Anything...and I mean anything..Trump does will be better than that clusterfick approach.

IMO, encourage peaceful protest by saying its acceptable, shouldn't be discouraged, etc. Encourage government to not take aggressive, violent action against protestors.

Except Iran doesn't have nukes. If you believe the Netanyahu's of the world, they were only months away.

This. And condemn any violent actions against the protesters. Then pull that dumbass deal the Pallet Cash Administration did that some on here were defending.

They want them. Anyone who believes they just want nuclear power just for energy are Chamberlain style delusional. Plus, they are one of the largest, if not THE largest sponsor of terrorism.

Of course they want them. They were close (probably not months away) but close.

Yep. US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have been killed or had limbs blown off by arms provided by Iran for the last 10+ years.

Turnabout is fair play, and no blood or treasure is lost on our part. Unlike Libya or Syria, we wouldn't be giving arms to ISIS either. I'd be shocked if we weren't already doing this.

Beyond that, we can publicly tell Iran what the consequences will be if they commit unprovoked violence upon their people, and pressure other countries to do the same.

My guess is that many of the folks here who are up in arms about 'collusion' and Russia 'manipulating' us will throw up their hands and say "but what can we do?" when the question of how to help Iranian dissidents arises.
