The people don't support the Mullahs, the Mullahs hold power, they're not chosen to be in power. The people have a government that would function with or without the Mullahs. And with the Mullahs/IRGC/Hezbollah/Hamas removed, there would be far fewer external bad actors trying to cause chaos. The Persian majority in that country could face some serious separatists movements that could rip the place apart. It's all held together by force now, when that's gone who knows what will happen

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I hear the Shah's son is just sittin' around, waiting to help out. Jimmy Carter... shesh. He's gotta be "thankful" Obama was such a *****-up. Now Carter's only the second worst President in US history. (And I hope he makes a full recovery and is out hunting again in no time.)

Hedge Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Beijing calls for a 'people's war' against the US as Trump threatens tariffs on another $300 billion of Chinese goods in all-out trade battle Quote "The most important thing is that in the China-US trade war, the US side fights for greed and arrogance ... and morale will break at any point. The Chinese side is fighting back to protect its legitimate interests," the nationalistic Global Times tabloid wrote Taking a page out of the Leftist playbook. Edited May 14, 2019 by Hedge 1

On 5/7/2019 at 11:52 AM, Buffalo_Gal said: Trump administration forces China to sell the Port of Long Beach The Trump Administration's Department of Homeland Security has forced China's state-owned Cosco* to sell the Port of Long Beach over security concerns. China's Cosco Shipping Holdings, which bought out its 75 percent–owned Hong Kong–based Orient Overseas International (OOCL), was forced to sell its Port of Long Beach Container Terminal ownership to Macquarie Infrastructure Partners for $1.78 billion. </snip> This from the comments: The headline is a little misleading. COSCO doesn't own the Port of Long Beach which is an enormous operation. COSCO has a container terminal in one section of the port. This goes back to the Clinton years. When the former Long Beach Naval Station and Shipyard was being closed, China wanted it and Bill Clinton was all for selling or leasing it to them. Saner heads prevailed and the deal didn't go through. The property eventually did become a gargantuan container port, but COSCO had to settle for much less pier space, and being just another tenant in the Port of Long Beach. Clinton’s again. Is there nothing those grifters wouldn’t pawn to line their own pockets? White hill trash. On 5/8/2019 at 12:54 PM, Hedge said: It's hump day! Plastic. Why did it have to be plastic? All these years I’ve envisioned it being a paper straw. BTW, those humps look like the Sierra Nevada mountain range. On 5/8/2019 at 5:10 PM, Hedge said: Anytime I see someone from the Trump administration waxing poetic about the special bond between the US/UK, I wonder exactly what they have been compelled to give us. Assange alone, wouldn't even come close to atoning for their sins. Spoken for truth. They need to give up some of their plotters and all the royalties to The Beatles and Rolling Stones songs and the entire James Bond series of movies. Oh, and throw in the Monty Python syndicate to boot. And of course, the Benny Hill library as well.
