    So there is no connection between being anti Jew and anti Israel? Jews are an underclass in any Islamic theocracy and they like to keep it that way. It must be embarrassing to have a successful country like Israel in their midst who doesn't doesn't need oil to succeed.

    This is an excellent, totally non political video made by an American who traveled to Iran recently using his Italian passport. It is great because the guy didn't follow a typical tourist itinerary but went wherever things took him. In the process, the video gives a more accurate sense of Iran than the past 40 years of propaganda from America's mainstream news media.

    Sounds like a great friend, refused to help you during either war. Only assisted you when you were put back in your box in each time.

    It’s like having a friend who says they’ve got your back during a bar fight when in fact the only thing they do is give you hand to help you up of the floor after you’ve had the crap kicked out of you.

    If that’s the type of friends you want it explains a

    Next time this "Assembly of Experts" should elect a Jew to be "Supreme Leader" so the Iranian people can enjoy their lives in greater freedom and advance to first world status.

    Wrong. Iran helped. Send oil during the war until it was overrun by british vermin. Also iranian troops fight on our sides. Even till last day. They have honor.

    They kicked your Shah out, made Iraq their colony after you ousted Saddam. They appear always one step ahead of you.

    Yes, it seemed that Iranians preferred to be ruled by a theocratic Zoophiliac rather than someone who could introduce them to a new century.

    And you're right. Obama certainly screwed up Iraq.

    So, too, Trump. There is a bipartisan consensus on conceding Syria to the Iranians and Russians.

    Obama contributed to a problem Bush created.

    Not so sure. There may be whispers of change in the Middle East if the West can be patient and do some selective clearing. I doubt the people are too happy with what's been going on for the past several decades.

    No, he pulled the troops in December 2011 when things were relatively peaceful. Then it erupted again and we can easily see what happened.

    You don't know what an embargo is.
    https://www.britannica.com/topic/embargo-international-law

    This is international law.

    Russian tankers go through Gibraltar to reach Syria? Somehow, that doesn't sound right.

    Spain is scared witless since the 2004 Madrid train bombings. Nobody cares what Spain says.

    The 3rd and last episode. The comments that follow this episode pretty much say all that needs to be said.

    Outright BS and positions only held by some candidates.

    The comedy is both sides deliberately mischaracterizing and misrepresenting positions of the other side.

    The Shah could lead them into a new century? Are you kidding me? A corrupted, cleptrocratic coward, who gave Irans rescoruces to foreign powers for free.

    I prefer an independend Iran. Something the Shah would never have been able to give.

    So part of a facist regime willing to assist in he extermination of millions of Jews. Not apt changed there then.

    By the way you can’t call someone vermin just because you get your arse handed to you by them.

    Face facts you got the crap beaten out of you in two world wars. The only reasons Germany is an economic leader is because you lost and the restrictions put in place and the fact you’ve forced the use of the EU and the Euro for the benefit of Germany and only Germany

    Most british i saw have the face of well DNA problems.

    There is a quite not so nice name used in Germany for british...british inbred island monkey".

    As for your last sentence, you cant denie we played our cards in a very good way. Who in 1945 wouldhave thought that 45 years later Germany ruled entire continent through economy.

    I think your Thatcher in the 80th knew it and tried evrything to prevent our reunion. She failed.

    P.s.: Why cant i call someone vermin? I thought we have freedom of speech.
