    There are 12.5 million non europeans living in Europe. 2.5% of the population.

    Meanwhile you have over 150 million non europeans live in USA.

    I never see a non german in my daily life. The sight of a african or asian is absolute unusual here. You on the otehr hand...well you know yourself

    So you're a German. Strange that you would support a totalitarian dictator like the Ayatollah after what Hitler did to your nation.

    You are welcome to be a poodle but if Iranians had the same attitude:
    1- they would not have been able to stand up to Rome and would have been conquered by the Romans instead, losing their identity and heritage as heirs of the world's first true empire;
    2- after the Arab conquest, would not have had the Persian renaissance but instead like everywhere else the Arabs had conquered, would have become not just Muslim but Arab too. Of course, for good measure, Iran eventually rallied under the shia banner to opt out of any pretense of allegiance to any caliph or ruler who didn't claim his seat as heir to Iran's throne;
    3- would not have managed to preserve Iran's independence even during the nadir of Iranian power and at the height European colonial rule;
    4- would not have participated in a revolution that unseated a regime whose greatest sin was ultimately being beholden to outsiders;
    5- sacrificed dearly to resist an invasion by an Iraq that had money, weapons and diplomatic support from basically both Nato and Warsaw pact countries alike as well as the Arab league;
    and more....

    Of course Obama was corrupt and weak. Stupid he was not. Obama did a complete 180 on his previous beliefs and ended up being an establishment puppet.

    It is the weak mind that buys into the platitudes and lives in denial of evidence to the contrary - even when the evidence for this is plain as day.

    Trump is no different in many respects .. another puppet of the Establishment.

    Iran was always a friend of Germany. Not a fake friend like USA. Iran always stood at our side, even if it meant very negative consquences for them. They refused o join the allies both in WW I and II.

    After WW II, Iran was the first country that reached us their hand in that bad times.

    I dont support the Ayatollah. I support Iran.

    Blind partisanship is a huge detriment to the nation. The masses tend to be easily led by slogans, platitudes and labels.

    Global research is a fine site and you have not refuted anything posted from that link - including the rules that were violated

    Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), piracy is defined as follows:

    “(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed:

    (i) on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft;

    (ii) against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State;

    (b) any act of voluntary participation in the operation of a ship or of an aircraft with knowledge of facts making it a pirate ship or aircraft;

    (c) any act of inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described in subparagraph (a) or (b).”

    Sanctions are not shared by the allies - at least not willingly. It is Trump that backed out of the deal - a deal that included not only our allies but also Russia and China - that was trying to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons.

    Regurgitating Establishment propaganda "Iran is the global leader in terrorism" as if this has some basis in fact is weak - and a patent falsehood.

    You are the one who hates America - so this is just projecting your issues on to others. You support the propaganda state - the goal of which is to turn the citizens of the US into indentured servants.

    Of course Iran is run by a thuggish dictator - Just like nearly other nation in the ME and countless other nations in the world. This does not justify wasting lives and treasure

    Oh the Americans remember alright, In fact they have statues and monuments everywhere celebrating those who took part in Americans who have won war and died for democracy.

    Meanwhile much of the world has monuments dedicated to Third World despots and the glories they enjoyed many centuries ago. The Iranian people must also be fed up with their economy, their corrupt rulers and irritations like the fashion police dress codes.. No rational person would want to live under such a system if they had options in their lives.

    Someone has to be there for the transition from a theocracy to a democracy, and that is probably the goal. Who should be involved in that transition? Care should also be taken that a future President doesn't do what Obama did in Iraq.
