Under the Mullahs leadership, and in pursuit of Velayat-e faqih (guardianship of the jurist), Iran murdered hundreds of thousands of people, as it bullied Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Gaza.
This was not done to free people up. It was done purely in the service of Mullahs who wanted to take Jerusalem.
The West was culpable in turning Iran into a theocracy. But, believing that a new leaf can be turned, President Obama who was a generation removed from the events of 1953, and certainly light years politically apart from colonialism, gave his first speech overseas, at Cairo University.
He copped a mea culpa, and told Iran to join him in shaping a more balanced future. But Iran spat on the hand that was extended in friendship and blasted ahead, spending $Bs that could have improved Iranians lives, on creating Hezballah, and other similar militias around the Middle East, with the sole purpose of killing as Americans and Jews as they possibly can.
At that point, Iran lost its claim to moral superiority and became a murderous oppressor.
They planted agents that suckered the GOP into invading Iraq, and sucked the rest of the world into it as well. The used the resulting suffering of the Iraqi people to recruit to repress some more.
Trump, to some extent, is the net result of Iran's Mullahs. Netanyahu would no be there if Iran did finance and arm Hamas, and egged it on to kill Jews. Trump would still be selling steaks, and Netanyahu would be jail, undoubtedly as a result of his grift.
I'm simply venting here, because the Iranian people face an impossible situation. The idiots calling on them to rise up, are NOT going to be marching on the IRG headquarters, and don't have a fucking clue.
Trump simply wants a puppet to control the Oil and Natural Gas, as well as appease the US weapons industry. In his mind, and this will probably work, when we're done depleting our ammo, we will order hundreds of $Billions on new stuff as well as new weapons systems, the red states economy will experience a jolt and JD Vance, the Manchurian Candidate will become the next President and the Trump Family grift will flourish.
But don't call that standing up to the America bully. You're just having a tantrum, because the Mullahs bullies are taking a beating.
