Iran was not liberal in 1965 but rather a secular state in the making. The liberal ideology was at its infancy in the West. The liberal movement is all but dead in the West now. Look at the UK and Trump in the US .
What exactly is this regime's strengths.Iran is a weak state with a near worthless currency, high unemployment, high drug addiction, at constant conflict with all of her neighbor's, fans sectarian divide across the region, mulla oligarchy economy which only the mulla and their thugs get rich, highest brain drain in the world on and on. There are now 8 million Iranians living abroad that should tell you something. Iran is beautiful country, rich history, and unlimited resources. People would not leave if these idiots had not run its economy, and foreign policy to the ground. This regime from beginnings has brought nothing but misery for the region and Iran. If Khomeini had not provoked Saddam, we would not have a war. If the idiots did not kill all the military personal out of fear, Saddam would not have attacked. How did the embassy take over workout? 4 decades of isolation, sanctions, and economic detriment. One deal after another.
Most of the economic problems of Iran are the result internal mismanagement and theft of national resources by the cancerous mullas. Time and time again they have been embarrassed by their rivals not because they care about Iran or Iranians, because the opposing party did not get their share of the scam. These are the same people that cause internal currency fluctuations and shortages of essentials, so they can sell dollars, medicine, cell phones that they bought at fraction of the cost with stolen money, at 10 or 100 times the market price. You think these idiots want a strong Iran, they hate everything about Iran and her history. These thugs killed teenagers in November protests and forced the parents to pay $4000 a rattle if they wanted the corpse of their children to bury. You think they want a strong Iran. There is no internal problem in Iran with her people, the people are not at each other's throats and trying to settle tribal differences. Iran is not some fake country made up after WWI . They have lived in the same plateau for over a thousand years.
We went from exporting 5.5 million barrels of oil a day in 1978, and being a creditor nation with investments and partnerships in western industries to the broke nation status of today. These losers after 4 decades still have to beg the Chinese and Russians to develop the oil fields and you think Iran is a strong country today. The Chinese who had no experience in Oil are now a juggernaut in the oil markets and the mulla are still begging by signing away shameful oil contracts one after another.
People are not stupid. They see the sham. If what they peddle by their poodles in this forum and the likes of Trita Parsi is true , then why does every young and old that is given the opportunity and has the means want to leave Iran?
The only reason this regime has been allowed to stay in power is because they are the best sales man for the US and Western arms industry. When the time comes, they will crush them like an ant.
The first clip, he says
It does not matter if ten planes are shot done, lets not lose focus of the big picture. The big picture we have to stay in power no matter what the means . The English subtitle are a lie like everything else of this regime.
Here is the commander of the loser IRCG, this idiot does not even know the name of the Black Hawk ( he calls it black out) and the Apache ( Alpache) . You would think the commander of such a supposedly elite unit can read and write English and took advance courses in military planning.
If the regime was not worried, they would not deploy thousands of forces to suppress and kill people on the streets. This recent protest will end with more bloodshed and imprisonment, but the fire has been lit. You will see more and more. When you have no hope, no job, no life, no future, then you have nothing to lose.
