⚫ I think there’s a very important fact outsiders misunderstand about Iran:

Iranians do not view the IRGC as Iranian or as being from Iran. And there is nothing in all of creation that can make them loyal to it.

They do not view it as a part of their culture. They do not view it as coming “from” their history.

They view it as an imposition from the west which harboured Khomenei in exile and dumped him on their doorstep.

The IRGC outlaws parts of Iranian culture that were a normal, daily occurrence for centuries. Even during the highest heights of Islamic rule in Iran.

It is a cult in every sense.

The best way you can support Iran is by separating these two entities.

One is Iran. The other is the jailer.

Russian propagandist Simonyan was offended after reading The Times, where she was called a "beaver-eater"

The newspaper wrote about Simonyan in its diary under the heading "Putin’s petulant pet".

"Vladimir Putin’s pet broadcaster seems a bit tetchy at the moment.

Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of RT, the Russian state television network, turned on the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg during an election event in Moscow.

“Stop picking on us,” she whined, complaining that the West was “trying to destroy Russia”.

Rosenberg observed that the West didn’t invade Ukraine, to which Simonyan petulantly sniffed: “You’re so old. And naive.”

At 55, Rosenberg is nearer her age than Putin’s. Simonyan is known as “bobroedka” or “beaver-eater” because she once boasted of having the furry creature for a new year’s dinner.

She wasn’t always so grumpy. A few years ago, Madame Beaver told Rosenberg he was “a very nice man, a gentleman”, before saying it would be a pity if he had to be expelled for being mean about her boss.", the Times wrote.

Simonyan reacted angrily, complaining about the diminishing British humour.

Nikki Haley does not think this country is racist or has ever been racist. And she is all for letting Texas secede.
