First of all, let me say I’m not a us citizen. I wouldn’t vote if I had to choose between one rapist or the other. However, I recently talked to my family in Iran and they really hope Biden becomes president. Obama was the first president in modern history, that tried to improve relations with Iran. The nuclear deal brought an upswing and it was the first time you could import and export stuff to Iran. Trump quit this deal immediately and it hurt the people bad. Now, the Embargo is up again. Their currency has lost over 25% since Trump took office. People can hardly get by let alone save anything. Most of my family is what we would call SocDems and are anti Iran government. And even though a nuclear deal makes a revolution a little less probable, the general public would profit tremendously. Also, I think Trump would rather start war with Iran. But maybe that was just Bolten back then.
Just wanted to tell you, since we should have as much knowledge as possible, if we want to have a stand on voting.
You can’t worship the volcano on US imperialism.
Gaddafi did everything we told him to, and look what happened, even under Obama.
And it was Democrats who signed back on to sanctions, in exchange for sanctions on Russia.
Anything you ink with the US isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It represents only some labyrinthian, bureaucratic calculation in the moment, and nothing more.
“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”
Solidarity to you and solidarity to the people of Iran. If life gets materially better for Iranian citizens as an outcome of this election, then at least something good will have come out of it.
Solidarity friend. Hope whatever comes next less to improved relations for our countries.
Solidarity forever! I have never met an Iranian I did not love. (I’m sure such people must exist, but I’ve yet to encounter them.) One of my best friends is Iranian, and one of my love interests in college was Iranian. Regardless of the bullshit election in the USA, I wish only the best for the workers of Iran!
That is really interesting and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing
