  • Donald Trump could soon dismantle the agreement designed to curb the Iranian nuclear program. Our catheter cowboy will do his best to keep that from happening.

      It becomes scarier. We have a feeling that the government is going to do what Russia did in the cold war and spend all of their money on the military than on the people. The price of bread has skyrocketed and so has everything else. We are screwed. Recently the Iranian air force attacked an American Battleship in the Persian Golf. If the Government keeps going like this we might end up in war, with nothing to eat. We will literally become Syria. Some of the tax money is used to help out other countries. I personally see I lot of correlation between today's Iran and the USSR in the cold war. To sum things up, the Government isn't spending its money on the people but on the military and other countries. The people have to pay thousands of rial to buy bread and the Government will most likely start to invest all of the countries money into nuclear weapons. The military has been attacking neutral ships and it looks like we are going into imminent war.

    I am an Iranian, let me clarify some points for all of you who live elsewhere specially Americans,
    1. Iranian people don't hate Americans,
    2. Sanctions against Iran only hurt Iranian people not the government, in fact those who are connected tho the regime get stupidly rich as a result,
    3. We are not as desperate as you think we are, I'm sure even in the US there are some talented skateboarders with homemade skateboards.
    Oh and one more thing:
    Next time you are filling a form on the Internet try to select Iran as your country, all the countries are there except for Iran, can you understand how humiliating that is, are they saying we don't even exist? don't you think that's racism?
    or when they banned us from entering the united states, what did we(Iranian people) ever do to deserve that? Bin Laden was from Saudi Arabia, and they are A-okay?

      You should hate America, my man. And if not flat out hate, you should really hold it against Americans from taking away your democracy back in the 50's. John went over that history too briefly that you may have missed it if you blinked. Right now, the half of the US that want nothing more than you, and I mean you as in the population of Iran not just the corrupt regime, to become the next Iraq. I repeat, HALF THE COUNTRY WANTS YOU DEAD OR SUFFERING! And it's the half currently in power.
      You're probably young, and I support your decision to not follow the example of your bitter and conservative elders. However, some basic principles must last through generations, the important one here is that America has to answer for ruining your chances as a progressive+democratic country, turning you into the theocracy that you are today. AND THEY THINK IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR IT!

      Man if US, especially Trump's US had any logic or a real concern for people of the world, they wouldn't be fighting 8 wars and killing innocent people with drones. This is pirate imperialism - all the evils of imperialism with a pirate code. US had only destroyed the world, toppled democracies and instated dictators. They never bother to understand or get to know the situation on the ground anywhere. They just form prejudices about places in their heads and are convinced they know more than people who actually live there because they have internet and live in the "greatest" country of the earth. They hung Saddam for the chemical weapons they themselves supplied. The CIA carries out chemical attacks ( allegedly) to keep the wars going so that their war machine can keep churning out money. US foreign policy is sick and US intervention has been and still is the biggest threat to world peace. And then the Us govt pretends to be the LEader of the free world. Not a single word in that sentence makes sense and not a single one is true.

Sheldon Adelson has said in the past that we should “send a Nuclear bomb to Iran” and sides with Netanyahu on Israel’s bombing of Iran in May 2018. He’s a huge GOP donor that has them in his back pocket and has donated millions to GOP candidates in the past, has backed tRump after he won the nomination, paid $100M smear campaign against Obama in 2012, and after the Koch brothers horrible Citizens United was passed by the Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote in 2010 which said Corporations are People, it gave Adelson the right to donate millions to Super PAC’s to push his Zionist agenda!

    So true story. When this deal first came through I remember watching Fox News with my family and having a contributor talking about the “24 days” clause. He said (I kid you not); “That’s like giving a drug dealer 24 day’s notice before a search warrant. You know you can flush a not of nuclear dope down the toilet in 24 days” Even though I was a lot more right-leaning then than I am now, I still remember thinking; “wait, that’s definitely not how nuclear disposal works.” XD

It's just gotten so much more extreme and vitriolic in the last 10 years.
      Not that the democrats are that much better, they're clinging to the fading memory of a legacy whose like they'll never approach again, hung up on old ideas and desperately afraid of innovation, and with the advent of Neoliberalism are largely indistinguishable from Republicans in policy.

      They mostly seem to have saner ideas (because most anything is saner than 'I know, let's give corporations all the power!'), but by and large they lack the political will or ability to enact them in anything but the most hamstrung, half-assed way. Meanwhile the Republicans keep gaining control (because that's what happens when you let corporate money into politics; the people interested in giving the corporations more money and power tend to get the most support). I know it swings back and forth, but this rightward swing has been particularly bad, and neoliberal democrats are just making it worse with their half-assed Republicanism when they're in control.

The Shah's regime, the revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf wars, ultimately ISIS. The destabilization of this whole region goes back to CIA/MI6 saying: "Look, this Mr Mosaddegh you elected as your president? He may be nice guy and all, but he seems to think that the oil under his feet belongs to the Iranian people, when of course we all know it belongs to British corporations ... soooo, he' gotta go" - Man, I wish John had elaborated on that ......

    • @Ennis85

      First off Mossadegh was NOT democratically elected. Like the constitution required he was named by the Shah. Mossadegh however tried to topple the constitutional head of state and usurped powers (including Commander in Chief) and shut down the press.
      The Iranian constitution was modelled on the English: The King (in this case the Shah) in Parliament. That is, the King convenes the Parliament, appoints the Prime Minister submitted to him by the majority of the Parliament and calls new elections when there is no confidence in Parliamentary leadership.
      In 1953 he dissolved the Parliament to prevent them from passing a no-confidence resolution that would have ended his prime minister ship and led to a general election in which his party was almost certain to lose.
      On Oil the US and the Shah weren’t unfavourable to Mossadegh. They all wanted the British stranglehold to be broken. The result was not good at all for the British (who under PM Razmara would reluctantly make a 50/50 revenue deal)... the result was a Consortium of Oil companies producing the Oil for the new National Iranian Oil Company. The winners of this were Iran and the US. The Brits were relegated to the backseat.Mossadegh was driving the Iranian economy towards the abyss and allied with the Tudeh Communist Party.
      The US never interfered with Iran, but were invited by Iran in 1941, 42, 43, 46 and after specifically to reform their finances and military. This was widely popular in Iran, which back then was not at autocratic, but a constitutional monarchy. Even Mossadegh turned towards the US for military and financial help. America didn’t force themselves upon them. Mossadegh, as said, was illegally USURPING power. He dismissed the Parliament, made himself head of state, closed down the press etc. The United States were pursuing its Cold War interests, helped the constitutional Iranian government(who requested American help) and forced practically out the British. The British lost their status after 1953. The AIOC became BP. The Iranian Oil was produced in certain areas by a Consortium of US, Dutch, French and also (much diminished) British Petroleum. Meanwhile the Iranian NIOC was starting to develop other fields or contracting to other national oil companies. Iranian revenues soared. 1973 Iranian oil was effectively in Iranian hands and the soaring oil prices made Iran immensely wealthy. Iran was even developing oil for other countries and took over the British role of "Guardian of the Persian Gulf". The Brits were the biggest losers of 1953, right after the Soviets.
      And Really? The destabilization of that region is all down to the coup? So all those Arab-Israeli wars would never have happened? The intifadas would never have happened? Saddam would never have gassed the Kurds? The civil war in Algeria would never have happened? The Soviets would never have invaded Afghanistan?
