“Savages” What hyperbole.
Obama worked closely with the Russians to protect the Iranian regime.
POTUS, Trump....time to take down the governments of Iran, North Korea, Venezuela & Cuba!!! Freedom, Liberty, Free Political Choice, Individual Excellence, Equality, Opportunity, Quality of Life, unfettered by tyrants, despots, dictators, like Muslim, Terrorist, Barack Hussein Obama and Criminal, Hillary Clinton.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova fired off a statement dripping with sarcasm and aimed directly at Haley.
There is no doubt that the U.S. delegation has something to tell the world, Zakharova wrote on Facebook. For example, Nikki Haley can share Americas experience in breaking up protests, going into detail about how, say, the mass arrests and the stifling of the Occupy Wall Street movement happened or how Ferguson was quelled.

I tend to agree with Russia on this, what Iran does internally, what its citizens do or dont do, is their business. It seems to me that its none of our business, just like its none of their business what we do inside our borders. Now, what Iran does outside its borders is an entirely different matter.
As she says?

How dare the Russians make this savage statement, why every Progressive knows the UN Security Council should run the internal affairs of all nations.
They really don’t have a clue do they.
Those protests essentially ran their course without direct hands on police or national guard involvement.
Perhaps some, but not much at least that I heard of.
That sure as hell hasn't stopped the un from messing in our affairs.
Russia just hates to see one more repressive thuggery type national government bite the dust.
“Iran’s domestic affairs have nothing to do with the United Nations Security Council’s role.”
Yep, they only concern themselves with Israel’s domestic affairs, and America’s. Anyway, all the smart people know that Trump and Russia are in cahoots, so no worries here.
Darn, Maria Zakharova has managed to get a hold of a copy of the New York Times, or maybe the Washington Post, I wonder who let them get out?
These do devolve down into ridiculous discussions, don’t they. Better to stand off and let Iranians solve their own problems, protest or civil war, or whatever. If we don’t like how this occurs or the results, we can always stop doing business with them, isolate them, etc. Seriously, if they massacre their citizens, that’s about all we can do as we won’t go to war over it. Heck, we’ve refused to go to war over blatant genocide around the world, so why, beyond political theatrics, step into Iran’s internal affairs? Seems like it will only reinforce the government anyway. Should we give aid to protesters, they become foreign agents and, like we’d do, be discredited.
I think Trump sees a lot more at stake for us and our interests than we realize. Delicate balance indeed.
Putin should get better control over his spokespeople.
Russia has a compelling interest in Iran.
Look at a map.
It’s the only country between central Russia and the Indian ocean.
I agree with your post, which is full of strong common sense.
