    Yea we don’t need anymore guards. We need length and bigs!! At this point make the trade and get another future lottery pick 

    Take the best player and worry about it later. Time and time again we see teams make the mistake of not doing that because they need this or that.

    Would Trump declaring war on Iran qualify under the umbrella of "helping Iran to be free?" That's an honest question, by the way. 

    No, and that's why I think it's extremely stupid some Iranians support him and I am embarrassed by it. War may lead to a free Iran but after many innocent lives lost which no one wants.

    What they don't understand is neither party cares about Iran. Trump doing things like ordering the assassination of the general was for his own benefit not to help Iranians. He even came out the other day and said he is not interested in regime change, and yet they will vote for him.

    I can't speak for Arab Americans, but my experience with Iranians is that a lot of them like Trump as well. 

    My stab at why: They don't necessarily have an issue with a dictatorship or a fascist, power hungry leader. They think there is a possibility of good ones and bad ones. And they think Trump would do good. 

     

     

    This is so absurd and way off. I can speak for Persians.

     

    Iranian diaspora are in the US because Iran has been held hostage by the islamic republic. Both diaspora and the large majority of Iranians in Iran are anti-regime and want the islamic dictatorship overthrown. Traditionally Iranian diaspora have been democrat leaning but things have changed in the 20 years. First there was the 2008 green movement in Iran against the government, Obama did not support them in any way. In fact, Obama made the Iran deal which  is very unpopular with Iranians because that only helped loosen sanctions and get the regime more money. Furthermore, Biden did the same thing, he allowed lots funds to be freed to the regime which is only used to terrorize the iranian people and the middle east. He also did not support the iranian people in any way duing the 2022 uprising. Trump on the other hand did some things that are very popular with Iranians. One he ordered the killing of the IRGC general Solemeini, an act celebrated by Iranians to this day. We would piss on his grave if we could. Second he got rid of the Iran nuclear deal, and third he put the IRGC on the terrorist list. Democrats have helped the islamic republic and republicans have hurt them. Even Jimmy Carter is hated to this day for his role in helping them get into power.

     

    Now I'm not a moron in a cult so i'm not voting for Trump, but generally speaking it would benefit me to vote republican if I was solely focused on helping Iran be free.
