You obviously don't know DR very well. I know DR. DR is a friend of mine and you are no DR. 

 

And on behalf of both DR and myself, I'd like to say: thank God for that...

Here's the video. Note. He never says Trump. (First clue this is fakery)

Here's the version I found.  The person yelling in the audience says it then Soleimani says it between 1:00-1:20.  They pronounce it "Troomp".   Might be time to change your narrative.

Not hearing it.

 

Biggest takeaway from that is that Iran has decided to address Trump in a fashion he can't reply to: they're not tweeting.

My bad, got the time wrong.  Soleimani says it at 0:37.

IRAN ON THE ROPES?

 

I confess that even after I boarded the Trump train–basically, when no alternative was left–I didn’t imagine that Trump would prove to be a foreign policy genius. But isn’t that what we are seeing? Improving our trade deals, finally doing something about North Korea, standing up to Putin’s Russia, pushing back against Chinese theft of intellectual property, exposing anti-Semitism and fecklessness in the U.N., getting more contributions from NATO allies–it’s been a heck of a year and a half!

Then there is Iran. Barack Obama pursued a bizarre Iran policy, from the first days of his administration, when he went on Iranian television. His view, apparently, was that strained relations between the U.S. and Iran were mostly our fault–never mind that incident at the embassy that stretched on for more than a year–and really, the U.S. and the mullahs’ “Death to America” Iran are natural allies. So he tried to build Iran up as a regional power, supplying pallets of cash and ultimately something like $100 billion in exchange for promises that can be revoked at will.

 

Donald Trump’s policy is, thankfully, entirely different. He has withdrawn the U.S. from Obama’s foolish agreement, and is imposing new sanctions on Iran’s radical regime. Most important, probably, he is rallying a natural coalition of Sunni Gulf states plus Israel to check Iran’s (and Russia’s) ambitions in the region.

How is it going so far? AFP reports:

Iran’s currency hit a record low on Sunday of 100,000 rials to the dollar amid a deepening economic crisis and the imminent return of full US sanctions.

100,000 rials to the dollar isn’t Venezuela territory, but it is getting there. Just a few more orders of magnitude to go!

The rial has lost half its value against the dollar in just four months, having broken through the 50,000-mark for the first time in March.

In other words, in response to Trump’s policies.

The government attempted to fix the rate at 42,000 in April, and threatened to crack down on black market traders.

Good luck with that. Price fixing has never worked anywhere, but socialists and mullahs will never give up on it.

Also this was from yesterday: 

 

 

 

Iran's next. 



And yet our "allies" in the EU 'deeply regrets' reimposed US sanctions on Iran

The European Union on Monday said it deeply regretted the re-imposition of sanctions by the United States on Iran, adding it and other signatories would work on keeping financial channels with Iran open.

That has the mark of the globalist slobs in Brussels all over it.  It seems they have not quite gotten the message that you don't cross Donny-Two-Scoops.

Yep.

 

Yet ANOTHER example where our "allies" have worked to undercut us. And yet, I'm supposed to support the EU and NATO?

 

Bollocks.

There are no "friends" or '"allies" in geo-politics.  There are only overlapping interests; and the resulting outcomes of shifts in foreign policy changes what those overlaps are, and who they are with.
