He was KAmkAr.

 

He was imprisoned both under the previous and current regime. But he left the idealogical world and became pajooheshgar of Iranian recent history as a scholar in Stanford. His book "tale of the two cities" is a nice book about himself. But the two masterpieces of his is "Hoveida, The Persian Sphinx" and "The Shah" which took years of research, and interviews validating the events and somewhat unbiased.

 

The key thing was him abandoning his ideological beliefs and pursuing fact finding research.

I think Democrat candidate RFK jr has a tough road, as the incumbent president always have the upper hand especially if there is a war. Not sure how he is going to to do it through primaries as DNC will promote the incumbent. Now if the Democrats / DNC see momentum in him and witness that as a Democrat he has a lot of base then they may put him on the pedestal.

 

Now if he runs as independent then it will be interesting what happens. Many young Democrats who are not happy with Neocon Republicans running this administration will rush. As Kennedys are iconic Democratic brand and both JFK and RFK are the party's heroes. Then from Republican side lots of Trump base will rush to RFK's campaign whether Trump is running or not.

 

The current administration with the mix of republicans and democrats giving the nation a signal that just like late 50's and early 60's we may be witnessing another criss cross of the two parties.

$15 million for a fighter jet???!!! A car like Bugatti La Voiture Noire is like $19 million. US F-35 is like $450 million dollars.

 

Anyways Putin's close ties with Netanyahu is keeping IRI on leash.
