In case you’re still wondering who is on the right side of this issue – President Trump or all the other Western nations currently still busy pushing appeasement and the mullahs’ nuclear program – here, courtesy of Douglas Murray’s Spectator article, is how the Iranian regime is likely to deal with the protestors.
Shortly after the latest protests began, the country’s security forces, including the Ministry of Intelligence and Security, were seen photographing the events. In Iran, a regime camera is as deadly as a sniper’s sights. Only more delayed. As in 2009, the photographs will be used by the police to arrest demonstrators and also family members unconnected with the protests. This will be followed by the torture and rape of men and women in prison by the theocratic regime’s frontmen. As after the Green Revolution, there will in due course be show trials, forced recantations and executions. This is how a police state with four decades of experience goes about its business. In 1979, the behaviour of the Shah’s dreaded Savak secret police was one of the spurs for revolution. The Ayatollahs have superseded the Savak, fine-tuned their brutality and learned from their mistakes.
All those armchair foreign policy experts who think Trump’s approach to diplomacy is brash and vulgar, that it doesn’t involve enough finesse and realpolitik, that he’s meddling in areas that he doesn’t understand, that he’s likely to drag us into unnecessary wars need to think about this and think about it hard.
Here’s a thought experiment to help them along.
You’re a young Iranian woman who has just been serially raped by the guards in the shithole cell of your shithole prison as part of your shithole-state-sanctioned punishment for appearing in public without your hijab, as part of a demonstration demanding women’s rights in this hellish, misogynistic theocracy. In the shithole cell next door you can hear the screams of one of your fellow campaigners being tortured. Chances are, this misery is only going to end when some kangaroo court sentences you to death by firing squad or hanging from a crane.
Who would you prefer to be in charge of U.S. foreign policy?
a) Barack Obama, the guy with the Harvard Law School dignity and the Davos-style diplomatist’s smoothy chops patter who’d almost never use words like “shithole” in polite company, not least because ideologically he can’t see how the oppressive white male hegemony of the U.S. is really any superior to differently special nations like Haiti or Somalia – or Iran;
b) Donald Trump, the guy who knows a shithole when he sees one, tells it like it is, and actually does something about it.
