Comments: Reza Olangian Olangian said in recorded conversations and email correspondence with the informant that he intended to smuggle the missiles into Iran by land, either from Afghanistan or another neighboring country, the indictment said. Olangian was arrested on Oct. 10, 2012, during a trip to Estonia and extradited to the U.S. in May, the indictment said. During questioning following his arrest, he stated that he had been working with Iranian government officials and that the missiles and aircraft parts he attempted to procure were for the Iranian government, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Comments: Anything that gives life line to the occupiers of Iran I am against it. Including lifting of sanctions. If we can prove that lifing of sanctions is going to prosper Iranian people and provide a good standard of living for the iranian people then of course, by all means lift it. But we saw IRI without sanctions. Best example is the glory days of AN. People did not benefit from it. This 20/80 business also is not going to work for people.
Comments: Thank you kAmkAr jaan, Cuba is a perfect example of sanctions, their success and failure. It could and should be used for any future sanctions. If US believes it’s working, great. I think most agree it is not. There needs to be a timeline. If they agree it’s 100 years, so be it but come up or make up a deadline and report on the progress. Chemotherapy is one way to get rid of cancer but it can’t go forever. It will eventually kill the patient instead.
Comments:  The eight Iranian-American dual nationals in U.S. detention or on supervised pretrial release for federal offenses.
Comments: Realist forget Ukraine, see what IRI money doing in Damescus. [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4fICZ2YZPE[/video]
Comments: "badaneh of Sepah" are too busy with lavat kari , guess again.
Comments: On a different note, watching the game in Brazil reminds me of how different their brand of the game is from the European one. They really can not or do not want to connect many passes like the European counterpart.
Comments: I agree with your timeline assessment. Just look at Cuba. They've been under sanctions for as long as I've been alive (64) and both sides are miserable with their failing relationships.
Comments: Sanctions work if you stick to it and not be wishy washy about it. Maximum pressure does work. People as we witnessed in the past 45 years under these nekbats have been suffering and will suffer no matter what. There is nothing there for them. Full blown War I am against. I think everybody is but do not mind destruction of key strategic military installations to weaken the Gharatgaran and lavAtkaran. And because you do not have an internal solution. And because none of us have internal solutions, this will be my hope / prediction. I am predicting that "badaneh of Sepah" will attempt a coup. I am hoping it is Sepah and not Artesh, because if it is Artesh then we may witness a civil war between Sepah and Artesh. That will not be good. Many middle ranked Sepahi are in Evin prison and you also have Mossad infiltration in Sepah. If people become hopeless and these occupiers continue ruling and oppressing people under their occupation then I do not mind a coalition intervention. Something will need to happen.
Comments: kAmkAr, Very good non specific answer. You are much smarter than me! I assume any punishment including sanctions are designed to deter people or countries from doing something and do what the sanctioner (it that a word) want them to do. That seems like a logical conclusion. Just like any project, it needs to be evaluated every now and then to ensure it’s on track. If it’s not doing what was intended, it is either designed wrong or executed poorly. Timeline and deadlines are also critical. No project could go forever. After a while, one need to realize the failure and try something different.
Comments: Your tax money at work in Ukraine ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D") https://www.tiktok.com/@zhadyftw/video/7264269921138330885
Comments: Zinsky, was that a pop quiz? All I know is that the sanctions has been for the longest time an excuse for IRI to use for their many shortcomings. Furthermore the time during the Obama when sanctions were partially lifted, things got better in Syria, Iraq, and Palestine. Maybe somewhat in Iran too. Like you've always said, foreign policy is way too complicated.
Comments: Is Reza Olangian part of the swap. He was my middle school friend in Rasht and we ended up going to same university in the US. He ended up becoming a Hezbollahi. He is imprisoned here in the US.
Comments: kAmkAr, This one is for you. How do we measure the success of a foreign policy? More specifically, when it comes to sanctions. When and how do we know if it’s working or not? Even more specifically, what does it mean when we say it is working? Most of us are educated professionals. We can’t work on any projects without understanding of goals, milestones and deadlines.
Comments: Let me make you comfortable by giving you my answer. I do not have anything to back it up. But I don't think it is as random as we think. I also do not believe they are full blown spies. They are just good catches for swapping. |
