    Well, they’re kinda busy right now getting bombed so I don’t think it’s a priority now.

    Like, sure, at first the blackout was due to repression, yes. But then after a while these two countries started bombing the crap out of Iran, so now it’s a slightly different situation.

    Let’s imagine you have two crackheads smashing your front door: are you gonna be worried about fixing the internet at that very moment?

      The Internet isn’t broken it’s turned off

      The reason its turned off was because of protests.

      Gives the regime a nice scapegoat to help turn the protestors anger at the US and external factors.

      The smart thing would have been for the US to quietly back the revolution and provide them with support to overthrow the regime. But here we are.

        Trump said they tried this by routing them weapons through the Kurds and the Kurds just kept the weapons.

            Hey! Whoa! That’s not fair to claim that trumps book and the bussiness style employed in that book relates to this situation! That’s totally an unfair thing to say! After all, the guy who wrote that book has nothing to do with the way trump does bussiness!
