Sorry, left out Iran. I just wonder if Iran realizes that they were put in the same predicament as Venezuela was by BO? At odds with the US to the point of war which could very well lead to the destruction of their country, the death of their leaders, and the confiscation of their oil to others? They play a long game. A wise man would recognize these patterns. If concern for the people and country is truly there, then they should be willingness to change, come forward and if needed, testify against those that played them. Are they advocating for your defense now? Hmmm… The world can have peace and security, but there must be no deceptions, otherwise, it will never end. Part of that could be changing to a true Democracy where Islam has a right to exist but not as a totalitarian regime. A true spiritual person can only invite, and not enforce the heart anyways, just appease their rulers while masking insincerity.
