Gives the regime a nice scapegoat to help turn the protestors anger at the US and external factors.

The smart thing would have been for the US to quietly back the revolution and provide them with support to overthrow the regime. But here we are.

    it likely wont happened as they likely quashed the protests with tons of executions, plus they can just turn of the internet to prevent them from organizing further. they did with the murder of the little iranian girl years ago, there wasnt significant pushback since.

    Trump said they tried this by routing them weapons through the Kurds and the Kurds just kept the weapons.

    Hey! Whoa! That's not fair to claim that trumps book and the bussiness style employed in that book relates to this situation! That's totally an unfair thing to say! After all, the guy who wrote that book has nothing to do with the way trump does bussiness!
