Trump Imposes Sanctions on Iran, Designates the Revolutionary Guards as a Terrorist Organization
When Obama was coddling Iran, he was colluding with them.
He had foreign contacts with Iran. Valerie Jarrett herself had lots of foreign contacts with Iranians. Ergo, collusion.The IRGC [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] has long been implicated in terrorist plots against the U.S. military throughout the Middle East and provides major financial support to other known terrorist organizations such as Lebanese Hezbollah. "Today, I am formally announcing my administration's plan to designate Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act," Trump said in a statement, adding, "The IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft. The IRGC is the Iranian government's primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign."The sanctions will not just punish the IRGC but any entity that does business with them.

Iran fucked itself in the ass permanently in 1979 when it was faced with three fabulous options:
1. Outdated medieval monarchy
2. Communist revolution
3. Islamofacist pre-medieval theocracy
The Islamofascists and the communists teamed up to kick out the King, but then the theocrats stabbed the commies in the back -- figuratively and literally -- by not sharing power as promised, but instead killing, imprisoning or exiling them all.
Now there's nothing left. Few people want a Shah, no commies left alive, everyone hates the mullahs, and they never had democracy before so they have no blueprint to aim for. And there are so many pig-ignorant bone-headed peasants and brainwashed poor fanatics that even if they did have valid democratic elections, fundamentalists would probably get voted in again anyway.
Some countries are a lost cause. I believe Iran is one of them.
Posted by: zombie at April 08, 2019 07:32 PM (5tb4C)
Unfortunately, if the Mullahs ever thought they were in actual danger of being deposed, then they'd launch a full-fledged Middle Eastern war.
No way they'll ever go quietly into the good night before pulling out all the stops.

Its often the case in collapsing states that the rulership does not actually have a good picture of what's going(a lot of this has to do with shooting bearers of bad news).
Not saying we've got a good idea of what's going on though. Just that it wouldn't be surprising for them to be caught off guard.

So does Afghanistan. They were both perfectly normal countries before Islamism.

Take a look at high school and college yearbooks from the 1960's from countries like Iran, Egypt and even Afghanistan. The students' pictures look just like those from American school yearbooks. Something happened between then and now.

The setup was a comment about a failure of the Nood Alert System. There's a thing that happens on my cable box and my radio stations where the government says "we're interrupting whatever it is you're enjoying to show how we'd pester you if something were going on".
You've heard of these.
So I socked the Nood Alert System to say that we, the government, would do some not nice things.
I was, as often, replying to the concept not the commenter. I have no idea whether Minnfidel has daughters. I just thought it was funny. Also, I said "check out the daughters", not anything more untoward.

Tail code: RU
Nose art: Cherry Girl
Pilot: Capt. Larry D. Wiggins.
Call sign Hambone 03
On June 3, 1967 Hambone 03 engaged in air combat with a NVAF MiG-17. Capt. Wiggins managed to shoot the enemy plane down using the Thud's M-61 cannon and an AIM-9 Sidewinder.
Cherry Girl's nose art has an odd distinction as the art was ordered removed while in the combat theater. When the Thud was restored at Norton AFB in 1983, a few days after the unveiling the artwork was ordered removed again.
