Keane said that, in addition to enforcing sanctions and ending the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Trump’s brokering the restoration of diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is a game change
dramatically against the mullahs,” Keane said. “This is not just a historical event. It’s a geopolitical paradigm shift.”
“I think the steps the United States took this week – and that is, we are finally going to put together a political, economic and military alliance with the countries in the Middle East to confront Iran,” Keane told Breitbart News.
“That I think is the most significant political event I have seen in years,” Keane said. “This president has ended the appeasement of the Iranian regime for 40 years.”
Democrat and Republican presidents, liberal and conservative, as part of that — have all appeased this regime,” Keane said. “This president is ending that.”
Keane said he believes this is the start of pressures that could lead to the demise of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his decades-long grip on Iran.
“There’s going to be many other countries that are going to fold themselves into the alliance,” Keane said. “It’s going to lead to more isolation and more pressure on the regime.”
“And, to be frank about it, I have never seen the mullahs back on their heels as much as they are right now,” Keane said. “And it’s going to get worse for them.”
Keane spoke with Breitbart News in Washington, DC, on Friday where he took part in an international summit of the Iranian diaspora that unfolded through livestreams emanating from 10,000 locations, including inside Iran and from Albania, where the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK) – an affiliate of the nation’s most prominent dissident organization, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) – is headquartered.

Iranian women.... oo la la!
“And what has Joe Biden ever accomplished? “
The lack of national will to follow through after the second Persian Gulf war by maintaining a significant military presence in Iraq stands in contrast to the U.S. posture after WWII, in which we maintained forces in Germany, Italy, and Japan for generations.
The old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words” is proven true...and even more so with that comparison.
It’s amazing how the “weird beards” can totally destroy an up and coming society. It’s better to destroy the “weird beards” instead.
Big correction necessary.
Well, in fairness, we didn’t have a cadre of tens of thousands of Germans, Italians or Japanese willing to kill American occupiers, blow them up with IEDs and ambushes, take hostages and slowly cut of their heads with rusty knifes, nor prey on their own civilian populations, killing thousands, either.
Kabul 2004
General Keane’s statements about Iran’s dictators back on their heels cheered me. I recommend watching interviews of him on Youtube.
I think it was not just diplomacy, but the correct type of diplomacy that got things rolling.
Been a while since a report about a general that wasn’t whining.
Tim-berrrrr!
Yeah, our boots too, not theirs.
Yes, Persia has not changed since they were fighting the Spartans.
Heck, give these backward thinking animals another couple thousand years to become civilized
Thanks Jimmah
Harris will fix these historic mistakes n send billions to the mullahs, while removing US embassy from Jerusalem.
Well, in fairness, we didn’t have a cadre of tens of thousands of Germans

There were a lot of Germans that kept fighting after the war ended - how many I don’t know

What? They were a great nation/empire in 499-449 BC. After the muslim conquest in 651 AD, they helped preserve much of Classical Western Civilization (that their fellow muslims were in the process of annihilating) that still exists today.
Forming the alliance is in fact an act of war that is in fact an aggressive act that projects immense military power
The question becomes, how much can the Iranian people take before they revolt
In the 1980’s we had a male Iranian engineer working in our department. He frequently wore tight leather pants. The women in the building voted him as having the “Best Buns”. There were 400 engineers in the building. I am not sure where I can in on the voting.
The so-called Werewolves. I served 4 years in Germany and discussed this with Germans who were alive at the time. As far as this threat was, it was well anticipated but never fully materialized.
The Germans were tired of war, and the public release of the atrocities ended what little support for the Nazis that was left, as well as the real threat of the Soviets to the East. Opposing us could potentially see us walk away. That is something they most surely did NOT want.
There was also no resistance in Italy nor Japan.
Hardy a menace equal to Al Qaeda, The Shia militias, the Sunni Uprising or ISIS.
