Potentially...hoplefuly some security details start offing their protectees

So are these good protestors or domestic terrorists?

Should the leo's on the ground feel free to shoot if "threatened"?

 

[NEO]

Probably helps that a ton of their radical side fled into Europe and are now destroying the UK.

Iran gonna be more free than England in 5 years.

Could be.

Could be Isis.

Could be a different radical side.

Why all countries should only worry about their country.

If not you start supplying Bin Laden arms he later uses on you and not Russia.

100% yes

The world has become much to small to only be concerned with what's within your own borders.

Now that I think about it, that's actually been true for a few thousand years.

 

[luthervol]

100% yes

Good citizens standing up to an evil/repressive regime always seems admirable to me. But there is always some risk.

From Barry Rosen, one of the American hostages help in Iran back in 1979.

1/ I was held hostage in Iran for 444 days. Forty‑six years later, I can say this with absolute clarity: what is happening in Iran right now is unlike anything I have seen since.
2/ This is not a moment of unrest — it is a breaking point. The Iranian people are acting with the resolve of a nation that has been pushed past its limits.
3/ When people believe they have nothing left to lose, they become impossible to intimidate. That is exactly what we are witnessing: ordinary Iranians confronting armed security forces with extraordinary courage.
4/ But courage must be matched with strategy. Real, lasting change will only come if the opposition can stay united and refuse to be fractured by the regime’s familiar tactics of fear, infiltration, and repression.
5/ The regime is brutal, but the people’s determination is stronger than I have ever seen. Their fight is not symbolic — it is existential. And the outcome will define Iran’s future for generations.

The Left is full of , they declare themselves to be the party of the people.

This myth has been debunked right before our very eyes over the last several days.

Hypocrites . Cowards . Puppets

It brings to mind two things:
1. You get Socialism with ballots but get rid of it with bullets (It's a reasonable comparison to this)
2. Freedom isn't free.

if they fight their way out of this, its a modern miracle

Well they are going to have to have help. And by that I mean some of the armed guys protecting the Ass-a-hollas will have to lay down their arms and/or kill some of their charges.

ive read of police switching sides. I wonder if the regime would use nukes on themselves if they'd been allowed to develop them?

 

[NorthDallas40]

Gonna be interesting to see what support the West, not just us all of Europe, puts in here. I’m sure we’ve got CIA actively involved now. You know Mossad is there too. And probably MI6 also. If this goes full blown hot civil war the people will need real arms to succeed. Will be interesting to see if the regular military will square off against the Revolutionary Guard.

No idea if true

I know this could devolve into a semantics thing but at some point "protesters" doesn't seem to quite cover the situation.

Because they don't really care about fascist regimes.

What's the next step up from "protester"? Revolutionary? Insurrectionist? Rebel?
