There was no shame in it then, and there is no shame in it now.
When the Iranian regime says it wants to negotiate, that is not diplomacy, it is delay.
Authoritarian regimes negotiate to buy time, to regroup, to identify protesters, and to finish the job.
If this regime survives, what follows will not be stability.
It will be a bloodbath that locks their power in permanently.
And this poster does make a good point about, quote unquote, negotiating and trying to do things from afar.
Now Sarah Adams, who has a new show with Sean Ryan's company, she made a great video detailing everything that is going on in Iran, talks about some of the history there, and she brought up everything that happened under Obama.
How Obama basically sat on his hand, sat idly by, and made statements like, don't.
Don't do that.
Don't kill those people.
America is watching.
That was basically what he did, but he never stepped in, which taught the Islamic regime that essentially, or actually literally, that they could murder their protesters, their citizens, in broad daylight while the world is watching on social media, and no one would stop them.
Now, later in that same video, Sarah also talks about how Trump might be feeling, knowing that pro-freedom protesters also died in Iran while he was president four years ago.
So I don't know what's right.
I don't know how Trump is feeling, if there is guilt there, if that's motivating him in any way, shape, or form.
But I do know that I don't want to see American soldiers dying in Iran in 15 years.
I know that I don't want the U.S.
to be running Iran in some kind of failed Ponzi regime change that costs us billions of dollars.
And I know that Iranians, that those protesters, do not want that either.
Because for decades, they have been saying, we are tired of foreign interference and foreign control in our country.
