It's starting to sound similar.

At first after the election I thought of Ukraine in 2004, but it's clear now that this is unfortunately going to be way bloodier than that was, regardless of the outcome. One should've expected though those creeps would never go peacefully.

2. I'm predicting it's going to get VERY ugly in Iran, particularly the cities
The Mullahs should be very afraid right about now.

5. Too early. We don't even know if the election was stolen right now...
Or if the perception of a stolen election was engineered to incite a proxy conflict forcing regime change (which isn't exactly difficult...A few bribed polling firms to produce absurdly unrealistic expectations, resistance leaders paid off with instructions & arms, a sizable angry base to work with, etc).

We can't even be sure if our own elections are rigged anymore, much less some other fucking country most everyone hasn't been to. Love their President or hate em, we are in the dark. You really shouldn't be giving anyone the benefit of the doubt at this point.
