Been watching whats going on in Iraq for a while now in regards to the protests, and I've noticed that there are similarities between those in Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan (to some limited extent), Iran (most importantly), and even in other countries as far away as France, Hong Kong, and even some places in South America.

Throughout most of these protests I'm noticing a theme, and that is that people are protesting very specifically "corrupt government."

I can't help but wonder if Q is involved in this. Or, alternatively, if this is the sort of chaos Q is sparing us from with the plan.

What do you guys think? Am I grasping at straws?

(an aside: Q if you do see this by some stroke of luck, Iran earthquakes. Is that us?)

Iran has two total satellites. Good to know when and where one was. Thanks.

Other than that, yeah Iran was being a dick. They've actually really started being dicks all over the middle east lately. They began kicking up their SMG's and are more directly attacking US personnel via those proxies. As for the fifth fleet, Iran really shits themselves when a Carrier comes into town. Those "attack craft" that Iran sent are lucky to be alive - the 5th could have made an international incident and went on its merry day without skipping a beat.

Good restraint on our boys.

Trump's strategy is a waiting game for Iran, and its working. Iran's economy is absolute shit right now and getting worse. What more is they've experienced some protests, and you better believe that wasn't the end of them. Iran's leadership has some hard days ahead of it. I think this year will be a make-or-break year for Iran.

Some context to Iran's problems, and why they might start acting a bit more aggressively in the near future.

The down-and-dirty of it is that the US sanctions against Iran have weakened its economy.

The Trump strategy isn't so much to anger the political leaders of Iran as much as it is to frustrate the average citizen.

When the average citizen becomes upset they turn their frustration on those who rule over them.

Historically, Iran's always had a tentative control over their populace.

The spark that kicked off the most recent protests in Iran, which lead overall protests of corruption and ultimately dead civilians, was a hike in gas prices by $0.13 or so.

If this gives you an idea of how tense the situation is in Iran then you can start to understand why Iran wants to make an outside enemy for its population to "rally against."

So launching a fleet of attack boats in the attempt to get the US to fire on them starts to make more sense.

Iran wants the US to make a move. Not just the FIRST move, but a move that they could use to rally their citizens.

By not responding, we take that power away from Iran. They can only slowly rot from within, now, or make even more dangerous miscalculated moves.

Ah. Okay that makes sense.
