Iran: Massacre of protesters demands global diplomatic action to signal an end to imp

[CriticalStinker]

I have a feeling Orange man will take care of that problem. Heres the thing though, Orange man will not let you or the press know before it happens. He loves the element of surprise. US military is good at that.

I don't think this time will look the same as last time.

Last time we were in talks about the nuclear program ahead of the strikes. The strikes had the motive of hitting the nuclear program. This time the language is much different, the US and Israel are looking for regime change. Coming off of Venezuela, I don't think the regime will take that lightly. I think the way they act will be much different. It was clear they were looking for an off ramp in the summer, but I don't think there is an off ramp available this time.

If it happens, I hope it's quick, and doesn't have much broader impact in the region. I doubt that though. 

I don't think it's our fight, Iran isn't my problem. Of course people will make it seem I'm somehow supportive of a archaic religious dictatorship... I think they're clearly an oppressive tyranny and wish the best for Iranians. They have one of the longest histories of any civilization, and plenty of rich culture and stories.

I just wonder if we're the best ones to bring that change for them. We've done it before, and one could argue it may have something to do with the moment we see now. It's probably best Iranians do this, and it looks like they have a bit of steam.

Attacking now could speed up the fall of the regime, but it could take the wind out of organic (although it may not be all organic, though I'm sure some or most is) revolution. No matter one's circumstances and division, nothing unifies a people behind their flag then being attacked.

Trump is now claiming that the killing of protesters is over.
Looks like a stand down from his earlier rhetoric of 'help is on the way'.
Leaving the protesters with whiplash no doubt ....

I would be surprised if something didn't happen soon.

Its been in the news that the US military has moved troops out of a Qatar air base.

I dont know whos following any of this as the US MSM only follows the ICE shooting along with the Venezuela situation. So they playing Trump wants to steal oil. I often wonder if the US MSM is controlled by Drug Cartels or Hezbollah. Thats another thread coming soon.

The organization is urging UN Member states to recognize that systemic and continuing impunity for the crimes committed by security forces in current and past protests has emboldened Iranian authorities to persist in their criminal conduct. Since 28 December, the escalating lethal repression to crush the mostly peaceful uprising has led to the unprecedented loss of life during protest dispersals, with the death toll rising to 2,000 by official admission.

UN member states must take immediate and coordinated action to deter further bloodshed, including by convening special sessions at the UN Human Rights Council and the UN Security Council. To signal an end to the era of impunity and to deter further bloodshed, member states should also consider establishing international justice mechanisms aimed at pursuing prompt criminal investigations and prosecutions of those who have committed crimes under international law and gross human rights violations. States must also call on the Security Council to refer the Iran situation to the International Criminal Court (ICC).

In any event we have the Supreme Leader of Iran giving orders to shoot to kill hundreds of protesters against Irans goverments repression of freedom along with collapse of the water system and power blackouts. 

So is Mr. Religion aka Ali Hosseini Khamenei playing be all you can be Whack A Mole card? They are shooting and killing hundreds of not thousands before this ends.  He also seems to rule just like Vlad Putin. 

I dont want this guy kissing babies. He needs to disappear

I just hope our opposition to Trump doesn't override the necessity of finally dealing with Iran for world peace's sake.  Because this time, it's okay. 

Go ahead, Make Iran Persian Again! Long overdue. Assahola Ayatollahs. No tears. Etc

Lots of gold trim and heavy metal will follow.

It will then allow Arbraham's Bipartisan Accord to resume, and for Saudi Arabia to become Guardian of The Islamic Holy Places and recognize Israel Sovereignty. Which i believe was the original plan. 

Lots of peace and mutual recognition will follow. A lot less militancy will result. And even two states could finally be a solution. 

And it starts with removing Iran's militancy from Islamic influence and undermining the saber rattling muslim arm of BRICS, leaving just the Saudis.

And If its the Crowned Prince playing influencer, it will focus more on oil, yachts, signing aging football stars, and building ridiculous buildings through the desert to keep having to scale back.  Better when they try to out-glitz the west, rather than want to bomb it.

Oh those magic words...

"What's that knocking noise?"

"Nothing, just Dick Cheney popping a woody in his coffin."

I said "dealing" not "invading" . You can make them Persian Again without a ground war. 

They did coin "Great Satan," after all. 

Dealing with them by sanctions and the usuall is a perpetual motion machine.

Maybe this is the one place Trump's form of trollolo-threat-politics could get them to f*ck off the world stage?

Couldnt hurt anything.  They singlehandedly used Hamas to derail a monumental peace deal.. So f*ck 'em.. 

Of all the BRICS to go after. Iran is the BRIC most likely to destabilize the wall in the Middle East and tilt balance of power in the Arab world more toward the west.  

Especially if Trump keeps making deals for planes or whatever.  Speak yacht club to ones in Ferraris. Make crony deals.  One place it doesnt really deceive Americans with anything new, or significantly alter American geopolitics.  Good war of distraction. Better than Albania even. 

Saudis Just tolerate them as it is.   

Just more business as usual with the same old saber its been since the late 70s. Better way to undermine China then focusing on Greenland too.

Trump does something, he's a dictator and world police.

Trump does nothing and he's a TACO.
