Iran - Will he? Won't he?

Maybe I will, maybe I won't

I don’t wanna find my home
Just wonder what happened to it
My hand’s all caught in stones
Who stole all my bones?
All my forgotten poems
Are a joke

What do I know?
Maybe we're wrong,
Doesn’t it show
People get old
When they’re alone?

Maybe I will, maybe I won’t

My theory is that we will exit the deal, Israel will wipe out Iran’s forces in Syria, the Iranian economy, which is already in a death spiral, will collapse and a popular uprising will oust the Ayatollah from power and result in a functional, westernized, democratic republic like what the people thought they were getting last time before the mullah’s hijacked the revolution.

We've had such great success with popular uprisings here recently I have no doubt this would be a resounding success.

NYT reporting that we are withdrawing

The difference is culture. Iraq and Iran are not similar when it comes to their traditions of democracy. Iranians have essentially had the trappings of democracy for decades. The issue is the Ayatollah gets final say on who can run and who wins. This has sparked massive protests repeatedly over the last two decades. The people want the Ayatollah’s thumb off of the scale so they can have a real representative democracy. The last several progests have been put down brutally by the Iranian Republican Guard, much of which is now bogged down fighting the rebels and Kurds in Syria. Meanshile, the Iranian economy is in freefall back home with a currency crisis on the verge of going full Venezuela. The people want the secret police gone, they want the censorship of the internet removed, they want access to the west, they want free elections. These aren’t a bunch of Wahabists, tribes, and sectarians like in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iran is a real country with a real identity, functional government, real courts, and history of democracy. They just need the guys at the top thrown out. They don’t need to build a nation from scratch.

You are underestimating the Saudis/Egyptians/Jordanians and others who will take action as well.

Also remember that Hezbollah, Iran, and Syria have troop numbers will are already at historic lows because of the 10 year civil war that has been going on.

There is very little support for this deal with the exception of the true Obamatons.

Trump is actually letting a lot of Dems off the hook if he pulls out of the deal. You know there had to be several Dems that knew the deal was shite so they supported their party's stance and not America's stance. Remember, Obama said "this is what America wants" even though polls showed 67% of Americans were against the deal.

Assad will be left in control in Syria as a deal which removes the militant wing of Hezbollah from Lebanon and topples the top of the Iranian regime. This wouldn’t be a complete destruction of the Iranian government, merely the removal of the Ayatollah from political power allowing for free elections and free voicing of dissent without reprisal. The rest of the government structure would remain intact.

Don’t believe the hype. The vast majority of Iranians don’t give two f$&ks about the U.S. nor do they actively hate us. They just want to be left alone to pick their own leaders without having their choices selected for them.
