Well also recently. a lot of people who were of a mind to protest Iran's government died.

Yeah, good point. The Trump admin literally told them to go march and do a coup, that we’d be there for them, and then no one went there for them, and they got slaughtered, further ensuring there were simply mathematically fewer people with the skills and willingness to replace the religious extremists with something more amenable to modern international relations with western and middle eastern nations and groups simultaneously. Instead they predictably, as in it was literally predicted by experts before Trump attacked them, they predictably attacked allies in the Middle East, closed and laid mines in the straight, which has disrupted the global economy and all relations abroad, including further damaging relations with China and Russia.

Such a dumb move.

Feels weird to call it dumb when they keep making these massive mistakes that end up making them richer or less accountable.
