Tom Friedman: A Democratic Iran Might Not Be Worth Seeing Trump And Netanyahu Get Credit For Successful Regime Change Like This

[JoeB131]

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman told CNN's "Smerconish" that he would love to see the Islamic Republic in Iran replaced by a Democratic regime, but letting Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu get credit for succeeding at overthrowing it like this might not be worth it.

"Nothing would improve the region more than the replacement of this regime in Iran," Friedman said. "The problem is I really don't want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are two awful human beings."

"They are both engaged in anti- democratic projects in their own countries. They're both alleged crooks. They are terrible, terrible people doing terrible things to America's standing in the world and Israel standing in the world," Friedman said about Trump and Netanyahu. "So I really find myself torn. I want to see Iran militarily defeated, but I do not want to see these two terrible people strengthened."

In about 30 seconds Friedman explains why no one should take Democrats seriously,
BTW when did Friedman become a failed foreign affairs columnist - his gig has always been a failed economist.

Iran is already a democratic regime. They have elections, they choose their leaders.

They just aren't choosing people we like.

I want to know what drugs republicans are on that you all believe the pedophile's new stupid war is going to bring about Democracy somehow in Iran

Friedman seems to think so. Is he a republican?

"You all believe"?
Where do get this crap?
I don't know one person who seriously believes Iran will be democratic in the short run. Maybe someday. But more than likely a monarchy or something else.
Your assumptions, as always, are wrong.

"The problem is I really don't want to see Bibi Netanyahu or Donald Trump politically strengthened by this war because they are two awful human beings."

He is entitled to his opinion. I would trade a functioning Democracy in Iran, to give them credit if that happens.

If, of course, is the most powerful word in the English language.

PHUCK THE PEOPLE OF IRAN.

IF TRUMP DOES A GOOD THING, IT WONT HURT HIM POLITICALLY!

Just amazing.

TDS in the extreme . Planet would be way better off but the TDS nuts can’t have Trump getting credit
Absolute children

No that's not it. He has a condition where his mouth is not connected to his brain. Sometimes opinions should be kept. We should all hope, beyond hope, for a new functioning democracy in Iran, or at very least, a swift end to Benedict Donald's little excursion.

That's a sad excuse for his blatant hatred of America and Jews.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Tom Friedman is a goddam idiot, a complete fraud.

You are being too nice.

He's just another lockstep leftist.

Using words he cares nothing about because it pushes down the right or causes them to reflect. Time to throw him into Canda.

He cares more about hating Trump than freeing Iranians from the yoke of radical Islam that has choked them for 47 years.

Yep...does not want Trump to get credit.

How miserable to you have to be?

 

[Lockback]

It's interesting how many Jews are antisemitic.
Tom Friedman is (I'm guessing) Jewish. But his leftism overpowers everything else.

Here's a Jewish guy who knows what that's all about.
Alan Dershowitz was a law professor at Harvard. He's a lifelong Democrat but no longer after being confronted with antisemitism and Leftist hatred.

as you probably know they are "self-hating Jews"

It's a weird but very real phenomenon.

Very real.
And very, very weird.
We're seeing it with a lot of white people now too; hating their whiteness. It's all part of the Far Left propaganda process to weaken the most productive and successful in society and breed contempt for them.
Fortunately, I'm not afflicted with such self hatred.

New York Times columnist Tom Friedman told CNN's "Smerconish" that he would love to see the Islamic Republic in Iran replaced by a Democratic regime, but letting Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu get credit for succeeding at overthrowing it like this might not be worth it.

In other words, the NYT just stated that they would rather have war in the Middle East, millions dying, billions lost, looming risk of nuclear attack, and $126/barrel oil prices, and suffering everywhere with people in Africa now starving for lack of food, than to see the whole world fixed and brought to peace and order finally and for the first time if their political and ideological opponents Trump and Bibi have to get credit for doing it, even though they did, because it might weaken democrat's chances in the next election.

Think about that.

A democrat just admitted that to Democrats, WWIII is preferable to democrats not winning another election. Worse, that war is far better than being beholding to a Jew. Proof positive that democrats are not about anything but themselves, not the citizens, not the poor, not the underprivileged, not the country, not even the world, but their own power and wealth.

Everything and everyone else is just a TOOL for their achieving that.

Remember: when asked at the SOTU address, democrats refused to stand when asked if their #1 priority was putting Americans first.

--FINALLY-- they were for once being honest.

 

[toobfreak]

Alan Dershowitz was a law professor at Harvard. He's a lifelong Democrat

I had not heard that the Left were so bad that they drove a lifelong democrat like Dershowitz to becoming a republican.

Now, the party of free speech and rule of law try to debank Dershowitz from even speaking for fear he might say something they cannot defend.

Amazing: when a republican like Lez Chunky or McCain defects from the GOP to criticize Trump, they hold them up as pillars of truth, yet when a lifelong democrat and Harvard law professor defects from the democrats to speak the truth, they try to debank, oppress, silence and deplatform the guy.

Amazing - no

Simply SOP for the Democrat Party.

The only way that you can Govern from a minority position is with an exceptional echo chamber, a huge Media Microphone, and swift retribution for anyone that defects.

Sounds like fascism to me, combined with converting the watchdog media over to their personal politburo of disinformation.

It seems to me that the last 25 years of interfering in the Middle East have brought nothing but misery to the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. (And yes, I am criticizing BOTH Parties.)

And those guys were geniuses compared to Trump, Kegsbreath, and the other members of the Clown Car.
