"Tear down this wall!"

[PoliticalChic]

And the next ‘wall’….Tehran


1."Tear down this wall!" is a line from a speech made by US President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, calling for the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open up the barrier which had divided West and East Berlin since 1961. (google)

Democrats shuddered! Oh, no!!! He’s going to bring on nuclear war!!!

Well, they squealed about the fear of conflagration….but deep down they couldn’t bear the thought of assaulting the doctrines that innervate Liberalism, the Communism and its Motherland.




2. It was a Democrat President, FDR, who idolized Soviet Russia, and made certain that it survived WWII. This, while knowing full well of its iniquities. And we have the mirror image of that from Democrat President Hussein Obama, vis-à-vis Iran.

Obama, was the #1 funder of radical Islamic fundamentalism in Iran, the world’s worst state sponsor of terrorism in the history of the world. Under Hussein Obama, the United States was the lead benefactor of Islamic terrorism


3.The big question about Hussein Obama was always was he Sunni or Shia…and with the Iran deal, we got answer. Barack Obama was ushering in the age of the ‘Iranian Nuclear Bomb’ and fueling Iran’s war machine, not restricting their ballistic missile program and, at the same time, supporting Hezbollah.

The best friend the homicidal maniacs in charge of Iran ever had was Barack Hussein Obama.





4. Could President Trump be giving the world another chance, by avoiding a nuclear armed Iran, the same sort of opportunity President Reagan provided, ending the Evil Empire, the Soviet Empire????


“The analogies with the former East Germany suggest that Iran, too, is ripe for regime change. They also suggest that a change may come in weeks, months or years, depending on chance events and particularly on whether the local authorities and their security forces, at least in some areas, get tired of killing people.What is likely to push such developments forward? The answer is that the new American policy, whether by chance or intent, may be as good as anything.” Iran: The Hollowing-Out of the Regime





“History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” Attributed to Mark Twain….and applicable here.

5. “There are interesting parallels with the twilight of the East German regime. By a coincidence, the Iranian regime is in its fortieth year and the East German regime suddenly collapsed just after its leaders had held a large-scale pompous celebration of its fortieth anniversary in the capital, East Berlin.

At its downfall, the government and security apparatus of the so-called "German Democratic Republic" appeared to be, as always, thoroughly in control, yet it took only a few chance events to start a domino effect that swept it away. There was the swell of holidaymakers who drove their polluting "Trabis" into Hungary or Czechoslovakia and thence via Austria into West Germany, because those East European countries had stopped preventing them. Beginning on September 4, 1989, there were the Monday marches that set out after the morning "Prayer for Peace" in Leipzig's St. Nicholas Church.


6.On December 28, 2017, major protests against the Iranian regime broke out in Mashhad and quickly spread to numerous other urban centers. Mostly merely noisy at first, some turned violent and eventually the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) suppressed the phenomenon, killing some and arresting thousands of others. Protests have continued, but news about them is scanty.” Iran: The Hollowing-Out of the Regime



When the same happened under Hussein Obama's time in office.....he gave his tacit support to the Mullahs.....
....pretty much the way Roosevelt acted in consort with Stalin.

LOL Hi PC, love your postmodernist truths, you're kinda like our president. That Hussein guy still obsessing you. Too funny. Do you ever look at your own ideology and its ideologues? All saints I guess. FDR idolizes Russia! Sure. Your boy Donnie Trump may not idolize Russia but he knows where big money is for him and his family. PC do you ever read any books - I'm not even sure you're a real person? Lighten up, enjoy these moments of life. Take your daughter out in the sunshine, have a great week.

"The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbors as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant of others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves." Eric Hoffer

1."... love your postmodernist truths,..."
You couldn't find anything in my posts that wasn't true and correct, huh?

2. "That Hussein guy still obsessing you."
As the Bard noted....."The evil that men do lives after them;..."
I'm here to never let you forget that you embraced evil.


3. "Do you ever look at your own ideology and its ideologues?"
Not only look at, but stand for my own ideology....it is the very same ideology of the Founder of this nation.....
individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.


And yours would be:
The collective, command and control regulation of private industry, and overarching government that can order every aspect of the private citizen's life....right down to control of his thoughts and speech.

And I never get tired of reminding you.


4. "FDR idolizes Russia! Sure."

Roosevelt: "I would rather lose New Zealand, Australia or anything else than have the Russian front collapse."
Robert Dallek, "Franklin D. Roosevelt and American Foreign Policy, 1932-1945," p. 338.


Yup!
'Russia Uber Alles'

What nation did Roosevelt represent, again?


5. "PC do you ever read any books"
Trust me on this, middy....you don't want to compare educational resumes with me....


6. "Lighten up, enjoy these moments of life."

I especially enjoyed this moment in Ben Rhodes life, November 8, 2016:






I'm here to teach you, middy.....whenever you're ready to learn.

7. An interesting link between Nazi Germany, and Iran, is the name.


As Edwin Black discussed in his book, “ The Farhud: The Roots of the Arab-Nazi Alliance in the Holocaust,” Reza Shah changed the name of Persia to Iran for Adolph Hitler.


The name Iran means ‘Aryan,’ and was chosen to support a massive Nazi-dominated infrastructure which was ready to provide oil to the Nazis. By the early 1930s, Reza Pahlavi's close ties with Nazi Germany began worrying the Allied states.[8] Germany's modern state and economy highly impressed the Shah, and there were hundreds of Germans involved in every aspect of the state, from setting up factories to building roads, railroads and bridges.[9] Germany–Iran relations - Wikipedia




"In 1935 the Iranian government requested those countries which it had diplomatic relations with, to call Persia "Iran," which is the name of the country in Persian.

The suggestion for the change is said to have come from the Iranian ambassador to Germany, who came under the influence of the Nazis. At the time Germany was in the grip of racial fever and cultivated good relations with nations of "Aryan" blood. "
Iran Chamber Society: When "Persia" became "Iran"
Iran Chamber Society: When "Persia" became "Iran"




Gee….Democrat FDR supports Communists, Democrat Obama supports Nazis.

Might be a lesson to learn here.

For your reading displeasure...


"Many forces contributed to the fall of the "Evil Empire", but foremost among them was the deployment of those 464 cruise and 108 Pershing II missiles slated to offset triple-warhead Soviet SS-20s and Backfire bombers that could reach all of Western Europe (but not the American homeland). Needless to say, it was not the "theo-logic" of deterrence that drove the counter-deployment. The drama was not really about "circular-errors probable" or "hard-target kill capabilities." The name of the game was as old as Thucydides' disquisitions on Peloponnesian power politics. It was a pure test of will and strength, and on its outcome hung, as it turned out, history. Yet what a slender thread it was.

Summer of 1982:… Millions were marching against NATO and America; pacifism and neutralism were given a new name: "Hollanditis." The Soviets were playing missile angst to the hilt, predicting that Western Europe would crack under the pressure.

Enter Ronald Reagan, a president who, whatever else he was and did, was an extraordinary exemplar of "Only in America." He was an ingenue even by American standards, but as tough and hard-bitten as any Soviet general-secretary ...

SO ON WHOM or what do we bestow the title of the "evil empire's" killer? Was it Mikhail Gorbachev himself who pulled down what Lenin and Stalin had built up? It is tempting to finger Gorbachev, but this would ascribe too much wisdom and foresight to a man who wanted merely to reform, but not to relinquish, the empire. At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower. And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people.

Reagan was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986, where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "Let's go, George. We're leaving." Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."

[PoliticalChic]

8. Democrat Jimmy Carter made it possible for fundamentalist maniacs to gain control of Iran. This is not to say that Khomeini was not popular when he first assumed leadership……


“The wild enthusiasm for Khomeini continued until his death in 1989, when millions turned up for his funeral and created mass chaos. Never mind that he had killed tens of thousands of political opponents and that he had sent hundreds of thousands, especially children, to their deaths in human waves in the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988. It has taken four decades for Iranians to grasp fully the damage caused to their country by their hybrid regime and to perceive how it facilitates corruption, cronyism and incompetence as well as expensive foreign adventures.” Gatestone, Op. Cit.



9. More problems for this regime. Using their resources on nukes, missiles, and the military, living conditions of Iranians have suffered.

“Mohammad Reza initiated a series of dam projects with Israeli advice. The Israelis were expelled in 1979 and later dam projects were undertaken by regime individuals in the wrong places to favor their personal constituencies.

In September 2017, Iran seemed to be facing up to the water problem at last by appointing Kaveh Madani – a distinguished Iranian expert teaching abroad – to deal with it. President Rouhani expressed the hope that he would be the first of many returning Iranian professionals. Seven months later, Madani resigned and hastened to leave the country after the security services started to investigate him and he was accused in the press of debauchery and of acting as a foreign agent. Such a case indicates that the regime is irredeemable.

Madani's parting words: "Yes, the accused fled from a country where virtual bullies push against science, knowledge and expertise and resort to conspiracy theories to find a scapegoat for all the problems because they know well that finding an enemy, spy or someone to blame is much easier than accepting responsibility and complicity in a problem."” Gatestone, Op.Cit.



Perhaps a little push from Trump…….y’know….like “tear down this wall!!!”

Of course, then Obama and the Democrats who pushed for a nuclear Iran would need a shoulder to cry on.

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. When Obama had the chance to aid the protesters in Iran, he punted, to support the 7th century savages who run their country.

Obama supporters should ask themselves why…..oh, wait….I almost forgot: Liberals aren’t allowed to think or question.




“Obama is the weakest of U.S. presidents, he had humiliating defeats in the region. Under him the Islamic awakening happened,” Younesi said in a Farsi language interview with Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency. “Americans witnessed their greatest defeats in Obama’s era: Terrorism expanded, [the] U.S. had huge defeats under Obama [and] that is why they want to compromise with Iran,” Younesi said.

The criticism of Obama echoes comments made recently by other world leaders and even former members of the president’s own staff,such as Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates. Top Iranian Official: Obama is ‘The Weakest of U.S. Presidents’


When the people of Iran cried out for help...."... new details on how far Obama went to avoid helping Iran's green movement. Behind the scenes, Obama overruled advisers who wanted to do what America had done at similar transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and signal America's support."
Why Obama Let Iran's Green Revolution Fail




This is the same Hussein Obama who ran for election, twice, on promises to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons…..while all the time planning to guarantee that they got ‘em.

 

[easyt65]

When the Iranian citizens rose up against their oppressive terrorist-supporting govt and looked to Obama and the US for support, Barry turned his back on them. Instead he engaged in negotiations and acts that benefitted the oppressive Mullahs / Leaders and himself.

 

[PoliticalChic]

11. This is what Obama could have produced had he actually desired to rein in the savages who run Iran, the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism:

“It may be possible to identify the crucial turning point in the cases of the ayatollahs. A prime project of Rouhani's presidency was to relieve popular discontent by ending the economic sanctions on Iran. After the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, aka Iran nuclear deal) was agreed, US President Obama released over $150 billion of frozen Iranian assets. Rouhani and the Iranian public assumed that the money would be available to relieve the poverty and debts of many Iranian families. Instead, the Supreme Leader decided to use the windfall to boost the military adventures of the Guards Corps and foreign Shiite militias in Arab countries.

Thereby Ayatollah Khamenei destroyed the long and patient policy of Rouhani and the hopes of millions of Iranians.

…despite the suppression of the original disturbances, a series of strikes and protests has continued. Plainly, many workers feel that the religious tier of the regime treats them as tools of an ideology and that the elected tier cannot help them.




12. … a recent curious incident at the airport of Mashhad (May 24, 2018). Suddenly the flight information on electronic screens was replaced by a message…

We the "Throbbers" Group have in these moments taken over the monitors of the airport in a protest action. For the last five months, the Guards Corps has been destroying the life and treasury of the people of Iran in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. Until when? It [the Corps] will no longer choke our voice in the throat. We unite with the noble people of Kazerun. This is only the beginning of our actions. If you are fellow-sufferers with us, take and share a photograph.” Iran: The Hollowing-Out of the Regime



Instead.....Obama supported the ayatollahs, and financially supported them, and made certain their regime would get nuclear weapons.

How very stupid his supporters must feel.

Barack Obama was ushering in the age of the ‘Iranian Nuclear Bomb’ and fueling Iran’s war machine, not restricting their ballistic missile program and, at the same time, supporting Hezbollah.

The best friend the homicidal maniacs in charge of Iran ever had was Barack Hussein Obama.





4. Could President Trump be giving the world another chance, by avoiding a nuclear armed Iran, the same sort of opportunity President Reagan provided, ending the Evil Empire, the Soviet Empire????


“The analogies with the former East Germany suggest that Iran, too, is ripe for regime change. They also suggest that a change may come in weeks, months or years, depending on chance events and particularly on whether the local authorities and their security forces, at least in some areas, get tired of killing people.What is likely to push such developments forward? The answer is that the new American policy, whether by chance or intent, may be as good as anything.” Iran: The Hollowing-Out of the Regime

And the next ‘wall’….Tehran


1."Tear down this wall!" is a line from a speech made by US President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987, calling for the leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open up the barrier which had divided West and East Berlin since 1961. (google)

Democrats shuddered! Oh, no!!! He’s going to bring on nuclear war!!!

Well, they squealed about the fear of conflagration….but deep down they couldn’t bear the thought of assaulting the doctrines that innervate Liberalism, the Communism and its Motherland.




2. It was a Democrat President, FDR, who idolized Soviet Russia, and made certain that it survived WWII. This, while knowing full well of its iniquities. And we have the mirror image of that from Democrat President Hussein Obama, vis-à-vis Iran.

The USSR collapsed on its own. Reagan and his advanced alzheimer’s were in the right place at the right time.

Sooo.....you're a government school grad?

For your reading displeasure...


"Many forces contributed to the fall of the "Evil Empire", but foremost among them was the deployment of those 464 cruise and 108 Pershing II missiles slated to offset triple-warhead Soviet SS-20s and Backfire bombers that could reach all of Western Europe (but not the American homeland). Needless to say, it was not the "theo-logic" of deterrence that drove the counter-deployment. The drama was not really about "circular-errors probable" or "hard-target kill capabilities." The name of the game was as old as Thucydides' disquisitions on Peloponnesian power politics. It was a pure test of will and strength, and on its outcome hung, as it turned out, history. Yet what a slender thread it was.

Summer of 1982:… Millions were marching against NATO and America; pacifism and neutralism were given a new name: "Hollanditis." The Soviets were playing missile angst to the hilt, predicting that Western Europe would crack under the pressure.

Enter Ronald Reagan, a president who, whatever else he was and did, was an extraordinary exemplar of "Only in America." He was an ingenue even by American standards, but as tough and hard-bitten as any Soviet general-secretary ...

SO ON WHOM or what do we bestow the title of the "evil empire's" killer? Was it Mikhail Gorbachev himself who pulled down what Lenin and Stalin had built up? It is tempting to finger Gorbachev, but this would ascribe too much wisdom and foresight to a man who wanted merely to reform, but not to relinquish, the empire. At no point, however, did Gorbachev want to yield Moscow's pride of place as the number two superpower. And he was blissfully confident that the risks were tolerable: "There is no reason to fear the collapse or the end of socialism", Gorbachev assured Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu three weeks after the Berlin Wall had been breached and three weeks before the Romanian dictator was executed by his own people.

Reagan was made from far sterner stuff than was his Soviet counterpart. His genial grin and wise-cracking demeanor concealed a spine of steel when push came to shove. Yet at their next meeting in Reykjavik in 1986, where Gorbachev would not budge on the "Star Wars" question, Reagan was decisive and unforgiving. He recalls in An American Life how he stood up from the table to proclaim that the meeting was over. Then he turned to his Secretary of State: "Let's go, George. We're leaving." Like any good diplomat, Shultz was crushed by so much roughness, but Reagan was completely unfazed. Later on, he explained: "I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things, our freedom and our future."

Ronaldus Magnus.....the Evil Empire Destroyer.

Yeah, the Soviet economy collapsed becaused we moved some missiles around

I forgot, you Liberals need everything reduced to a bumper sticker.....

Reagan defeated the USSR without firing a shot because capitalis can produce both guns and butter.


Communism couldn't.



And the same will prove the undoing of the Iranian regime.

Oooh so without Reagan, communism would have been successful and not collapsed?

Without Franklin Roosevelt, it would not have survived.

May well be true. However if Hitler had gotten his hands on their oil, the Nazi Fascists may well have held onto Europe.
