    I’m not going to make a redundant post, but I thought this quote in The Guardian was of note:

    The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said on Tuesday: “I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime. When a regime can only maintain power through violence, then it is effectively at its end. The population is now rising up against this regime.”

    It’s time to play everyone’s favourite game: Was he referring to Iran or the U.S.?

      Quite naive either way. Oppression works quite well. And we have history and also multiple current regimes to show for it.

      Internet was cut, we will see who comes out on top when the lights turn back on. The oppression already killing thousands, or the revolting and demonstrating citizens.

      It’s not the first time Iran had demos.
