    Iran crowds reportedly chant 'death to the dictator!' as US sanctions increase economic unrest

    Days of unprecedented protests aimed at Iran's sluggish economy along with "biting" sanctions imposed by President Trump are ramping up pressure Tuesday on the Islamic Republic's ruling class and causing many analysts to wonder if regime change could be on the horizon.

    Videos circulating on social media purportedly taken from inside Iran show thousands of protesters marching through the streets. In one video, crowds leaving a soccer match are heard yelling "death to the dictator! Death to Khamenei! Death to Rouhani!" and "Islamic regime must get lost!” according to a translation tweeted by a Middle East analyst.

    Another video said to be taken in Tehran shows idle buses lined up as far as the eye can see, with the same analyst reporting Iran’s government has refused to pay back its debts to a contractor that gives the drivers fuel, leaving them – and the thousands of Iranians they would have been transporting – stranded.

    "Look at our situation. We've been waiting for 24 hours,” a bus driver is reported to have said in another clip. “How dare the regime sends money to Hezbollah and Palestine when the country is in trouble. Our revolution's aim wasn't to support dirty [Hezbollah leader] Hassan Nasrallah and we can be oppressed here. Enough."

    What was the first victory for him to have 'another' one?

    "After getting the north koreans to end their nuclear program....."

    About that

    White House national security adviser John Bolton told Fox News that North Korea has not made progress toward denuclearization, in stark contrast to President Trump’s claims of an agreement with Kim Jong Un.

    Said Bolton: “The United States has lived up to the Singapore declaration. It’s just North Korea that has not taken the steps we feel are necessary to denuclearize.”
     
  3. Yep, the first was...?

    And are we completely sure Trump is not the dictator who they call for the death of?

    You change one thing in middle easy and something else breaks.

    This is coming from a person who thinks Hillary Clinton was a great Sec of State because she travelled to a bunch places.

    Yes, she was great because she did her job quietly and didn't whine and bitch like some hormonal teenager.

    She was not great, is not great, and never will be great. The biggest accomplishments she has are she helped install the Muslim Brotherhood into Egypt and overthrowing Gaddafi, both of which were huge failures.

    Interestingly enough, when Trump was negotiating with the North Koreans, one of the key hurdles that Trump had was trying to explain away Hillary's failed Libya policy.

    Since when is surrendering to the Russians considered a major foreign policy victory?
     
  9. The pictures say it all ,
    Putin leading , a smug and winning look on his face ,
    Trump , a follower with a meek and weak look on his face,
    Putin , with a list of accomplishments in his hands ,
    Trump . . . . . Nothing , in his small hands.

  10. It isn't.

    You are referring of course to Obama just rolling over and going tits up when he found out that russians were interfering- and then we needed to wait for it to impact hillary before it became a national security concern.
