Nah. It is an extra cold winter with more snow than normal in Moscow according to my friends there. Need to tell him to go ice skating on top of a building.

Smart move by the protesters. Trump loves it when people say nice things about him. Especially with the regime basically daring him to do something.

Over 12,000 feared dead after Iran protests, as video shows bodies lined up at morgue
cbsnews

Updated on: January 13, 2026 / 11:46 AM EST / CBS News

quote:

Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported.

With phone lines opening back up for calls from inside the Islamic Republic, two sources, including one inside Iran, told CBS News on Tuesday that at least 12,000, and possibly as many as 20,000 people have been killed.

Maybe, but we've known they've been doing this for days now.

I would not put too much stock in American or European liberals calling for intervention against the Islamic republic. They will probably just say that the report is Israeli and MAGA propaganda.

I am shocked that the USA does not have a carrier group in the area. No carrier group in the middle east? And the fact this revolution has been going on for 2 weeks and the last 7 days it appeared to have a good chance of winning.

It seems, combined with the Israelis there would already be enough aircraft in the area to achieve the goal. Even without the Israelis.

Dismayed here.

We had a massive buildup in the area during the worst of the Gazan war. I don't know what resources are still there.

And we have fat pink hairs in this country screaming about fascisms because someone tried to hit a Leo with her car and got shot dead.

Democrats with UK and France is who forced the Shah to step down. The protests in the late 70's where nowhere near what we are seeing now. The only people shot by the Shah's forces were communists backed by Russia carrying AK's. UK & France flew the mullahs in to step in and take over what had been brewing. UK and France knew that negotiating with mullahs was like playing chess against a monkey and they made serious bank over the years not just cutting deals on oil but selling to Iran.

Protester in Iran praises President Trump:

"I have to emphasize that among Iranian people, Trump is the most popular person right now. He has so much popularity because of the steps that he took toward preventing the growth terrorism in the Middle East. They respect him."

Trump needs to start referring to England and France as “the Islamic Republics of France and England”.

Within minutes of Iran falling, liberals will claim a humanitarian crisis and blame that on Trump.

Then they will wait anxiously for some guerrilla/insurgency style fighting from the remains of the regime and fire up the Iraq/Afghanistan comparisons and blame Trump for that too.
