@HarveyWall8angR It wasn't because of Iran's financial problems that people came out. It was Mossad's terrorists who took to the streets on a preplanned agenda which included America's CIA as well. These fuckers definitely know how to lie with a straight face.

"Economic statecraft" is a way for Bessent to paper over a brutal hybrid warfare technique that aims to prompt regime change at the cost of misery in a foreign population. US ideologues like Bessent are less able to fool people around the world over this & the US increasing destroys its credibility by so obviously weaponizing trade for blatantly geopolitical goals. This is not "statecraft" but rather gangsterism.

If the US wasn’t economically choking Iran on behalf of Israel, Iran would be economically sound and stable. There would be zero fuel for these riots

@Soozieceu Bessent destroyed two national economies (UK, Japan) while working for Soros. He's a psychopath who's just a bad as Soros, probably worse because unlike Soros, no one suspects the evil he's capable of.

We know they did it. They've been doing it since they arrived on Turtle Island. It isn't Economic statecraft, it's IMPERIALISM masked as 'good governance'! They've done it in Africa and Lenin explains how and why!

Wars aren’t accidents. They’re architecture 🧱 You don’t trip into them. You design the conditions. First comes the squeeze. Sanctions. Trade strangulation. Financial air slowly cut off. We’ve watched this reel before. Imperial Japan was cornered same way. Pressure applied until reaction became inevitable. War then sold as necessity to a hesitant public. History isn’t a loop. It’s a remix with better PR 🎭 And Iran? There’s no ancient vendetta written into the soil. No natural law demanding endless hostility. No destiny. No inevitability. Just deliberate policy choices framed as fate, dressed up clean. Manufacture the enemy. Condition the fear. And nations fall into line 🔥

Economic terrorism. Attacking civilians. Not statecraft. Criminal, degenerate and wicked Just like Bessent. The end won’t be long now. When men like this lead nations they usually end up in ruins.

Bessent comes across as a "high and mighty" Narcissistic SADIST himself. I guess it takes a sadist to recognize the methods of his fellow sadists....with whom he is in an Alliance.

Yes, I still remember the horror of poverty when the US used sanctions to strangle communist Poland's economy in 80`, when it was close to becoming self-sufficient and competing with other exporters. Just like Iran today.

Wall St should be dismantled and significantly regulated... America wages war via, economic sanctions, destroying nation-state currencies -via Wall St, seizing assets, inflicting great pain and poverty on targeted citizens, stealing resources, and of course, the US military. Wall St is highly, highly destabilizing... not just for the US and its people, but the world.
