Iranian Protests

Protests against the Iranian government are spreading in Iran.

The danger for the West is that the more Western leaders speak out in support of the protesters, especially Trump and Netanyahu, the easier it is for the regime to claim that the protesters are tools of the foreign enemies of the state.

  1. Well... it's not like trump automatically does the wrong thing, even in cases where it would take vast wisdom to be able to know the worst choice.

    Yeah, I'm just kidding.

  2. Interestingly, the 'posters' are in Arabic, not English, and the green/red is synonymous with Shia colors. And they want Reza Pahlavi to come back and refound the republic.

  3. Nangleator, it's a reasonable bet to assume that Trump is doing the wrong thing, until proven otherwise.
