Lefties: You all went ape **** for the "No king" protest. Then Trump captures a real dictator. A real tyrant. Now you are pissed off about it. Do you just prefer a specific kind of tyrant or something? I mean, maybe you have a type. Like some battered women have certain types of batterers that they fall in love with. 

Righties: Musk will soon be a trillionaire. Probably this year. However, let's rephrase that title. Musk will soon be the first tax-funded trillionaire. Usually, if not always, you are against our taxes funding private companies. Our money created Musk's wealth. He didn't accumulate that wealth through his own hard work, perseverance, and using the American Dream. Why do you idolize Musk when he used our taxes as his foundation for his empire? 

Well?

about the protests in iran/ all trump has to do is lift his sanctions----


trump is why they rioting in iran,

because of his sanctions ----------------------------------

The now nearly three-week-old protests in Iran stem from immense economic pressure and frustration with the government, but given that Iranians have felt Israel's wrath and also seen what the US did in Venezuela recently, their demands are not for foreign intervention, a slate of experts explained on Monday. While there may be some voices that are outliers, most Iranians are looking for the international community to help lift the crippling US sanctions and begin a new path forward, the scholars said on a panel hosted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. "I think that [the] vast majority of Iranians would welcome a deal that lifts the shadow of war and invites the removal of sanctions," Mohammad Ali Shabani, editor of the Amwaj newsmagazine, told the panel, adding that most Iranians accept that the Islamic Republic is not going to be there forever."And in fact, what we have seen over the past 20 years is that its survival is almost extended by sanctions," Shabani said.Shabani pointed to Iran's middle class as a potential driver for political change in the country. But U.S. sanctions over the last two decades have been "hollowing out" the middle class and, in turn, organic political change.

no doubt israel wanted the sanctions.

I never assumed they weren't, but even people with down syndrome fear beatings.

Where did you get this source? I don't doubt the part about the sanctions. However, the Iranians have made it abundantly clear that they are protesting the oppressive regime.

Also, this doesn't answer the question in the OP about Maduro.

--------------------------
The Trump administration imposed significant sanctions on Iran, withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in 2018 and reimposing and adding new sanctions as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign targeting Iran's oil, finance, shipping, and military sectors. These actions reimposed sanctions lifted under the nuclear deal and targeted major Iranian banks, the Central Bank of Iran, and hundreds of individuals and entities, aiming to compel Iran to negotiate a broader agreement. 
Key Actions and Sanctions:

• Withdrawal from JCPOA (2018): 
  The U.S. ceased participation in the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and reimposed all U.S. sanctions that had been lifted. 
• "Maximum Pressure" Campaign: 
  This policy aimed to exert severe economic pressure on the Iranian regime. 
• Targeted Sectors: 
  Sanctions hit critical sectors like energy, shipping, shipbuilding, and finance. 
• Key Targets: 
  Specific targets included major Iranian banks, the Central Bank, and over 700 individuals, entities, vessels, and aircraft. 
• New Designations: 
  In 2019, sanctions were added to prevent top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, from accessing the international financial system. 
• Military & Space: 
  The administration also sanctioned the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran's space agency. 

These actions led to significant economic hardship in Iran and increased regional tensions.

That just seems off. The evidence I see is that the sole reason for the protest is against the oppressive regime. 

Also, you still didn't answer the OP's questions. I won't ask again. I hate it when people willfully avoid my questions. I won't be answering to your view until my question is addressed.

Never said it was a bad thing to take Maduro out.  But how it is done matters.  Iran called Trump for help, after apparently slaughtering 2000 citizens and imprisoning tens of thousands.. Iran might have thought twice about such voilent ugly behavior if they didn't admire the tyrant we hired and we had someone who stood up for Iranian rights in the Oval Cockpit. It sounds like a horrific war crime situation. Now Trump says we are going into to Run Iran and clean it up for the people. This all sounds terribly expensive to me. It could be payed with servicefolks blood before it is done. Trump is greenlighting thugism.

Maduro had to go no doubt.  They elected a leader, she has offerred her Nobel to Trump in hopes he will legitamize her power and that of the Venezuelan People. We did not need to move massive cone head quantities of  military assets for a three hour smash and grab. There was potentially a diplomatic path, but the Trump admin thinks bullets are cheaper.

When does Elon start Pigs In Space?
