“The Iranian people are NOT stupid. They are actually much smarter than most realize.”
I think the majority of people do realize how intelligent Iranians are. This has nothing to do with intelligence - it’s visceral.
“They know exactly what Trump is saying.”
I showed you on twitter that they don’t. You show me where they do. btw - there are many other Iranian blogs & internet sites condemning Trump for saying it.
Those cultural sites mean much more to them than you realize. Since 1979, those are visual remains of their identity. And the regime has destroyed & neglected ancient sights because of that.
The average age in Iran is 31. Those people don’t know life without the regime so they can’t remember what life was like. And they’re raising children who don’t know Iran without the regime.
I know, and the Iranian people know, that the regime uses civilians & civilian buildings as shields. If cultural sites have to be destroyed to bring down the regime, they don’t want outsiders doing it, they’ll do it themselves. I can’t imagine it would ever be a necessity to destroy them.
Let’s hope it never comes to that.
A FReeper on another thread, suggested that Trump was referring to cultural sites of the Revolution. And that would be acceptable to all those against the regime.
Maybe he really meant it to mean “you can run, but you can’t hide”.
Unfortunately, it has deflated the enthusiasm that you used to started the thread.
> “I showed you on twitter that they don’t. “
What you showed doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter because when Americans are attacked, the regime will be terminated even if they hide in one of the 52 targeted sites that might be culturally historic. The US Intel community knows which sites the regime may choose evacuate to and all the sites are targeted.
The Iranian Regime must attack. To do otherwise shows weakness, Weakness invites revolt.
WHEN the regime attacks America, the retaliation will be so massive the Iranian people will blame their regime BECAUSE they were told what would happen if America is attacked.
The Iranian People will not blame America. If they think to blame America which they won’t, then they have two choices, make war or agree to negotiations. They do not want war so they will exercise reasonable judgment and turn their anger towards the criminals in their regime which they have been doing recent;y on a massive scale, a scale not seen since the 1979 evolution (see link below).
Since last month, the Iranians have been rising up against the Regime and hundreds if not thousands have been killed for doing so. Is this reported in the Fake News?

This is why it is brilliant what Trump said.
He is putting the Iranian people that are programmed to hate America in a box. He is making then decide, do they want war with America or do they risk getting behind other Iranians to fight the regime?
When the Iranian regime attacks, watch what Trump does. The Iranian people will be calling for the heads of their regime.
In any event, the Iranian Regime are now aware they can’t hide. There is no place for them to escape. If they don’t attack America, the People of Iran will finish them off. If they attack the Iranian people which they are doing now and have been doing for decades, how does that look to the world? How is it received by the Iranian People?
Game theory.
No matter what the Iranian Regime does, they lose.
Checkmate in less than or equal to 3 moves.
There is only one other scenario option. Negotiation. Trump has offered this. But the Islam terror personalities are so ego-driven they can’t accede to negotiation as it marks weakness. They won’t negotiate.
The Iranian people will throw them out and invite Trump’s negotiators to carve out a future peace and economic recovery. That’s how this ends.
