I worked with a guy obsessed with her who said the movie was okay but kind of rushed but didn't see part 2 I think. He is a piece of shit so nothing he says matters. -

If someone became quadrapalegic and had to be in a nursing home, but nobody liked them enough to want to shelter them, they would basically just die, which would be just fine by Miss Rand whom went on public support herself.
Wait..
Great incentive to be nice to people though. -

So how many goats is not bad? -

Originally posted by aldra The basic gist of what's going on seems to be that the US does not want open warfare with Iran because regardless of the outcome, the petrodollar implodes and the entire middle east dissolves into instability.
They're trying as hard as possible to bully Iran into complying with the unilateral oil and nuclear embargo, but Iran cannot and will not comply because their existence as an independent state is at stake. At the moment it's a stalemate with neither side willing to fire the first shot or back down, but there are plenty of elements who desire war with Iran so as I said, the biggest risk is a false flag attack against US or allied ships similar to the Gulf of Tonkin or the aforementioned USS Liberty incident.
The most likely cuplrits will either be israeli or US intelligence agencies - US leadership has already demonstrated they're willing to take dramatic military action based on vague Mossad intel, and the neoconservatives attached to the Military Industrial Complex (who see huge profits in a new war, as well as a dangerously unrealistic view of their own superiority) have their tentacles all through the CIA.

Originally posted by aldra Very likely, all the pieces are in place. The biggest risk at the moment is another israeli false flag attack to try and draw the US into open conflict, especially considering how Bolton is moving carrier groups about based on vague Mossad 'intelligence'.
I've been compiling information on this, will make a proper thread soon.
There will be no war. There will be a strike that will cripple Irans economy and bring the regime to an end from internal strife.

You guys don't have to strike to cripple their economy tho and the latter point could have the exact opposite effect causing them to rally. -

A couple a refineries and a pipeline and their money is done. The people of Iran have been looking for a way to throw the kooks at the top out. Without money they can't pay the armed forces or their proxy agents. Without armed forces and proxy forces the regime can't hold power from the people.
I have been following this since before most of the posters here were born. The people want their choice back. None of you here recall what Iran was like before the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Here is an example of the difference.
Iran in the 70's
Iran today
There are many people alive in Iran today who remember when they had the choices they had before and they want that life for the children and grandchildren. If the tyrants have no money they have no power. Without their power the people will rise against them not in support of them.
