ReplyDeletesuch a nice progressive nation, is Iran!
ReplyDeleteThe water shortage hitting the ethnic SW of Iran is due in part to the Iranian government diverting water to ethnic Persian areas. The ethnic Arabs know this. More than merely being slighted, they are being greatly economically harmed. It will end in violence
ReplyDeleteIf Biden, Biden trainer Klain and the other clowns want to make dealz with the Ayatollahs, thy will end up with the Azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Baluchis and many Persians all hating them.

"The Asia Foundation, though, isn't just any foundation. Officially, it's "a nonprofit international development organization committed to improving lives across a dynamic and developing Asia." In fact, it's the second iteration of an organization called "Committee for Free Asia" that the CIA founded in 1951."
"We cannot confirm that Mr. Bailey is tied to the CIA or the accuracy of the report about his ties to the Asia Foundation, but it sure does seem like an unusual coincidence."
