@HiValueWhiteMan What about those born with both male and female characteristics? Intersex individuals. Your ideas about gender are sadly lacking real knowledge.
So how is what you’re proposing any different from 1953? Trump isn’t even pretending — he’s said he’d need to approve whatever new government takes power. That’s not self-determination. That’s a puppet government. It is 1953 all over again.
Why did Iranians overthrow the Shah? Because in 1953, the CIA and MI6 overthrew their democratically elected PM, Mohammad Mosaddegh, for nationalizing Iranian oil. They reinstalled the Shah as an authoritarian monarch backed by US and a secret police force notorious for torture.
.@nytdavidbrooks Tonight on @NewsHour you argued the U.S. should support Iranians in overthrowing their government, citing 40 years of terrorism. I respect your work, but that argument is missing its first act. 🧵
