Iran told us where their expected salvation lies when they told us to vote for Democrats. If Dems win significant power, they're golden. This is a problem with our representative democracy that is exploited by our foes and "frenemies" like China.
The irony is that when Democrats believe Russia was backing Donald Trump, they howled and caterwauled endlessly about foreign interference in out nation’s elections.
Yet now they would have their voters listen to Iran about how their votes should be cast.
If Democrat voters are truly that hypocritical, and if they are truly that numerous, then this country’s future is grim.
If Democrat voters are in the minority, and if the Democrats’ penchant for stealing elections can be restrained, this country may yet have a future.
I pray that Democrats are far less numerous than their echo chambers believe. Regardless of the flaws and foibles of President Trump and his preferred MAGA Coalition candidates, they are a better proposition on every front than what the Democrats have to offer.
Peter, I think it has always been more about the oil than the nuclear issue. And also making sure the dollar is the reserve currency, so that the banksters win. Most of the U.S started conflicts are and not just in the Middle East.
“The Iranian position is eroding, not collapsing. Operation Economic Outcast is likely to eventually cause the Khamenei regime to crack and collapse, but, barring some unforeseen development, that could still be weeks if not months away.” Okay, I would expect the IRGC to be reaching out by now, in desperation, to the world’s mega-wealthy illegal operatives, such as criminal gangs in Russia and China, and drug-smuggling cartels. The IRGC would be trying to cut deals for financing and currency, but what could Iran offer these criminal enterprises? New drug-smuggling routes? A willingness to harbor fugitives from international justice?
Peter, you’re not likely to be able to find any hard data documenting such deals. But are there certain metrics that the Trump administration can follow that would indicate any transactions with criminal gangs - crypto and gold transactions, etc.? And can Bessent effectively shut those down? This is all shadow-world, dark-web stuff, and I don’t know to what extent a government can realistically have a major effect on it. You’re the resourceful analytical genius who could detect clues.
