So different from the bending over of Obama. Remember when the U.S. supported people fighting against tyranny? Looks like that’s back. Both good for freedom and good for the U.S.

Quote:The Trump administration is examining a new plan to help Iranians fighting the hardline regime in Iran following America’s exit from the landmark nuclear deal and reimposition of harsh economic sanctions that could topple a regime already beset by protests and a crashing economy, according to a copy of the plan obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The three-page white paper being circulated among National Security Council officials in the White House offers a strategy by which the Trump administration can actively work to assist an already aggravated Iranian public topple the hardline ruling regime through a democratization strategy that focuses on driving a deeper wedge between the Iranian people and the ruling regime.

The plan, authored by the Security Studies Group, or SSG, a national security think-tank that has close ties to senior White House national security officials, including National Security Adviser John Bolton, seeks to reshape longstanding American foreign policy toward Iran by emphasizing an explicit policy of regime change, something the Obama administration opposed when popular protests gripped Iran in 2009.

The regime change plan seeks to fundamentally shift U.S. policy towards Iran and has found a receptive audience in the Trump administration, which has been moving in this direction since Bolton—a longtime and vocal supporter of regime change—entered the White House.

Was the Demoncraptic Party responsible for taking them away there? Man, those people just don't quit. Tsk.

I guess this means John Ferry will meet again with Iranian officials to continue his shadow diplomacy ops.

Yup. A couple thousand crates of AK-47's and IED's can make life very unpleasant for an unpopular regime.

Iranian populace is going to be skeptical of this considering a previous time they tried to rise up the US just told them "Good luck" and they got hammered.

Yep. Pornstache is now in charge.

If you liked your Iraq war, you'll absolutely LOVE your Iran war. I guarantee it!

Or do you feel that the current leaders in Iran will just respect the 'stache and go gently into that good night?

Meh...We won't be at war with Iran, but we might just let the Israeli's do some serious damage to them.

This needs to be done with great care and tact so that it does not turn around to bite us on the rear...

I'm not sure Trump is the guy
