Unlike ever before, Iran’s Islamic regime is facing a revolt led by a generation that has lost its fear. Young and old, men and women, students and workers, are flooding the streets across the country. Iran’s future may well hinge on whether its military chooses to act and save the country, driven by economic collapse,…
Alon Ben-Meir · Mr. Trump: Greenland Is Not for Sale Trump’s absurdity seems to have no limits. Feeling emboldened after invading Venezuela, he feels he can now swallow another country at his whim. His eyes are now fixated on Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, under the pretext that it is necessary for American national…
Trump’s invasion of Venezuela to seize its oil under the pretense of combating drug trafficking is an act of piracy that shatters what’s left of America’s moral, legal, and ideological standing under Trump, while violating international law and every norm of conduct Trump’s actions in Venezuela are morally calamitous, showing a perilous disregard for human…
The Democrats can potentially wrest control of Congress in the upcoming midterm election only if they listen very carefully to what the American people are yearning for. The public cares less about left, right, or centrist slogans; they need a government that provides the means and the opportunities to meet their basic needs and live…
I stopped counting how many ethical red lines Trump has crossed since he reassumed office last January. For him, the presidency is the means by which he can enrich himself and wield power with impunity. Tragically, he cares less about the horrific long- and short-term implications of his misdeeds both domestically and internationally.

Iraq has taken a devastating step backward for women’s rights, legally stripping women of equality in marriage, divorce, inheritance, and guardianship of their children. Despite public outrage and fierce resistance from rights groups, parliament chose regression over progress. International authorities cannot stay silent; pressure is needed now to ensure Iraq upholds its human rights obligations and protects its women and girls.

Tanzanian authorities are once again testing the limits of repression as citizens prepare for nationwide protests. Instead of protecting peaceful assembly and free expression, the state has responded with excessive force to instill fear and silence. After the October elections, security forces used violence against protesters, while a nationwide Internet shutdown blocked access to information and concealed serious abuses, including killings and enforced disappearances. “Police must refrain from violating protesters’ rights, especially the use of brutal force,” said Tigere Chagutah, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for East and Southern Africa. The right to protest is non-negotiable. Tanzania must safeguard demonstrators, restore full internet access, and carry out independent investigations. Silence fuels abuse. Demand accountability now.

Young and old, men and women, students and workers, are flooding the streets across the country. Iran’s future may well hinge on whether its military chooses to act and save the country, driven by economic collapse, corruption, and decades of repression. The idea that the Shah’s son, Reza Pahlavi, could return and restore a monarchy is just the opposite of what the Iranian people need. Instead of another form of corruption or an old kingdom, they deserve a democracy and genuine freedom. In the final analysis, Iran’s destiny may rest on a single profound choice—whether its military steps forward to reshape the nation’s destiny.

Pree palestine
Why are we even praying for Iran? I feel that there will be no regime change in Iran and that Iran will not be free until the prophecy in the book of Ezekiel 38 & 39 about the attempted destruction of Israel has been fulfilled. You can’t change what the Bible has already foretold! I mean, does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Protesters don't carry short guns to demonstrations shooting at the police to kill. The pro government demonstration has shown where the huge majority of the Iranian people stand. If u believe in election democracy, then the people of Iran Hav spoken. There will always be opposition in any election democracy.

Talk about corruption with the Ayatollah Khomeini, like the islamic republic was better than the shaw???????
Liberate the Persians.. FREEDOM!!!!!!!
Time for the military to side with the protesters.
In the 50’s Iran had a perfect democracy with prime minister Mohammad Mossegh , leader of the National Front movement. He was a socialist. USA didn’t like that. He was killed in 1954 by CIA and MI6.
It failed, man.. haven’t you heard?? 😂😂 Some people guessed it might be a Zionist backed trick so they backed off.. 😂😂
Free Palestinian
Like the "aparthied" democracy you have in Israel??

Enforcing the laws that was put into place way before him isn't crossing redlines. It securing our nation and making sure we come first.
This is succinct and excellent commentary about the first-ever evil tyrant in US government.
Comrade alon
The whole world wants back the week USA. Fortunately we have out Super Trump to make sure we stay on top. And it is working. No more weak Obama or Bidens. Just a strong leadership under Trump.💪
Release the Epstein files

I would say raping children classified as, “crossing the line”. Pardoning convicted murderers, “Crosses the Line”. Causing an Insurrection, Crosses the Line”. Lying to the American People, CROSSES THE LINE!
Dems are nuts
Lmao you r mistaken for all the demonrats
Chicom rube and subversive. Pathetic.
Resembles fake news name one
For Trump to even contemplate attacking another NATO member state is simply sheer madness. In fact, if any external power threatens Greenland, the US is obligated to come to its defense. Why, then, is it necessary to annex Greenland for security reasons? This is just another of Trump’s blatantly outrageous lies. For the United States to threaten Denmark and take their land, especially with force, is beyond the pale. One must ask: what has become of the United States? This will have huge strategic consequences that will resonate extraordinarily negatively for America for decades to come.

They want to place fancy nuke interceptors because nukes fly around the north pole
I so agreey Trums grand kids will feel hees work
Oh please he’s not going to attack Greenland. He’s going to buy it. There’s just a little bit of convincing needed for them to sell.
Exactly what Putin ordered him to do.
You got that right
America first baby. Maga forever
The Danes are in the process of making deals with the Chinese for mining rare earth minerals.
Maybe he wants the prize for starting wwlll
We can hope!
Let’s see how fast NATO stands alone!
Trump asked NATO to put more troops in Greenland,”NATO No. Trump said he would attack Greenland.NATO sends troops to Greenland. Trump is a genius good lord.
I would ask why then Denmark is even indulging the US with meeting participation if it’s that adversarial and far fetched.
Trump the man who destroys Nato. A wish that the Russians never thought it would come.
This is like saying "It's the job of the government to PROTECT families! Why then is CPS knocking on the door of this alcoholic father and threatening to remove their children?"
Mad
He’s not a man, he’s a thing!
🇬🇱 🇺🇸 Agreed. 😢This is embarrassing. And weeks away from Italy too. Were I an Olympian, I'd bow out. This is not the USA I want to support.
THE AMERICAN shitcom continues. Time for countries holding American debt to cash in the treasury bonds and tumble usa economically. No self respecting country will bend the knee to America! US debt are Japan ($1.1 trillion), China ($749.0 billion), the United Kingdom ($690.2 billion), Luxembourg ($373.5 billion), and Canada ($328.7 billion).
Shutting down the internet, arresting nearly 17,000 protesters, killing at least 3,000, including children, and Trump’s threat to use force to stop the Iranian regime have not prevented the mullahs from continuing their onslaught. The regime’s ruthless crackdown has been a calamitous wave of repression, taking thousands of lives in a brutal attempt to crush dissent. Yet even in the face of such peril, the public remains undeterred, determined to continue their fight.

How many more to take their independent help is on the way the US a is thinking about it pending when will be on standby
Because Trump wants to stop it tho...you're probably against saving Iranians...right?

Those who were on the ground weren't protesting against the living conditions; they were paid by Mossad and the Americans to destroy the country. As for you and those who demand freedom, shut up and don't speak of freedom when you're in a country where there is neither freedom nor democracy.
Free Iran
This is what it looks like when religion “informs” government, … Ms Boebert. … and that li’l hand exercise you were seen doing in the theater, … would get you HUNG there. This is the Islamic version of “Nationalism,” as in “Christian Nationalism” but controlled by a different mythology. Keep watching.
