A lot of these protests can be tied to the nuke deal. The poor people in Iran saw how the government got $100B and the people got nothing. They see how the oil companies are making money and they get nothing. They see how those with money can do business and travel more easily and the the poor get nothing.
The working class and poor have no say. Their only option is to take it to the street.
Nobody in Iran has seen much money, elite or not. The USA has basically blocked most of the benefits of the deal to this point from actually happening.
I feel like an AMA Official vadimivich foreign happenings hot takes thread could be informative and awesome
AMA with vadtoy would be awesome, let me know if I get to attend. She says damn near nothing, even to me.We could, but it would probably be easier to have his wife type her answers directly.
Whatever happened to ArlingtonDeac (or something like that)? If I recall, that dude was pretty knowledgeable in the inner-workings of DC.
Didn't RJ run him off too, or was that just TraderDeac?
