Popular Post Matzzon Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 Sure, that´s a nice gesture. However, It´s formulated so it really sounds that they have to crawl in the dirt and kiss his almighty feets before they get it. We also know that the only thing he is trying to do is collecting voters for another 4 years of mayhem. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ongoing conflict from Afghanistan to Syria and from Syria to Yemen is a religious war between Sunni's and Shia's and their allies ..it is as simple and complicated as that. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Eric Loh Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 China, Germany, UAE and Turkey have sent medical suppliers and experts to Iran even without Iran asking for it.

Thongkorn Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 If Equipment was sent from America it would probably be burned and stamped on. Thats whats normal when America is talked about in Iran, Iran would twist the kind gesture to suite themselves 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ukrules Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) If Iran does the modern day equivalent of 'bending the knee' then I'm sure they will send all the help they can, lol. Don't doubt the offer though, it's going to be very real. Lets read between the lines on this offer a little, it's not aimed at the 'current' Iranian regime, it's aimed at the people who might overthrow the current Iranian regime. Think about that a little Edited April 20, 2020 by ukrules 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even less for an insider with the backing of plenty of people who've had enough with what's going on. I kind of expect a coup in Iran, lets not forget, the Americans are ready to help with coronavirus, my hunch is they might be willing to help with other 'problems' as well.

It is nothing more than making them lose face. Passive aggressive. However if they want the aid I have a couple of used ventilators in my shed. The USA should be giving nobody aid at all right now.

America First, Mr. President! They were not asking American money but - based on their paid membership of the IMF - a loan to restore their balance of payments. Also I can assure you that their are more people in Iran loving the USA than in Saudi Arabia (I worked and lived in both countries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
