    The recent Iran riots literally followed the exact same playbook.

    • Latch onto a peaceful protest movement with legitimate grievances.
    • Flood the streets with foreign agents and agitators.
    • Escalate violence against responding police forces, leading to days of pitched street battles.
    • Just completely make up whatever number you feel like about how many people were killed, and then it’s now your convenient talking point to do whataboutism anytime the country is mentioned.
      • Notice how the number keeps going up without any citation or evidence? Now Hegseth is saying 45,000, no doubt it will grow to 100,000 before long.

    Does anyone remember what actually happened to “Tank Man”? We are led to believe that the tanks simply rolled the guy over. The extended footage shows that they tried to route around him, there was a standoff and then he left.

    Have you seen the big dump of photos of Tiananmen? Suspiciously high number of murdered police for a peaceful protest, eh?
