How ironic it would be if Iran played a huge role in helping Frump lose the election

Through nefarious means. (Not that he needs any help mind you. He's quite capable of fucking things up all by himself)

1. I was thinking the same thing last night.

2. Extremely. Iran's one of the hostile nations who helped elect Trump.

[Lock him up.]

3. Why would they help a EC-elected sociopath who threatens to send them...

$2-trillions worth of military equipment to destroy their cultural sites, cities (IOW, to kill millions of their own citizens?)

That's nuts.

4. I never read much about the interventions themselves.

Hillary's unlikeable, lock her up. Mostly amplifying the Repubs, Russia's, China's, and Sanders' noise.

Iran isn't saying why. But the U.S. has long been committed to containing Iran's religious imperialist ambitions and has been so successful that Iran, a prosperous and militarily advanced nation, has long had to resort to secretive "asymmetrical" actions, namely promoting terrorist acts, and had to become a partner in its own denuclearization.

So my best assumption is the obvious one, that Iran chose for destruction, or at least disordering, of the planet's stabilizer superpower over continuation of containment under HRC. Just like Russia.

In any case, Iran DID intervene in the election against Democrats and for Trump. That we know. And now Iran's leadership is plotting how to turn the successfully disordered U.S.'s renegade action to their global military and religious benefit.

Reportedly they're now claiming to take the "high road" against the evil U.S. by only striking our military. Even as terrorist acts begin elsewhere.

7. Could you provide sources on Iran's election intervention

Against Democrats?

I had not previously heard about this.

[Hortensis]

8. You can. Iran's one of a bunch of hostile nations that

worked to not just elect Trump but put the badly corrupted Republican Party in power in 2016.

Our intelligence agencies have reported on this, not just investigative journalism. It's really a big deal, especially since they're doing it again, or expected to, because it worked so well. Democrats are the problem that constrains renegade nations.

5. Iran already helped Carter lose an election
