A quick ask to ChatGPT told me there was only 9 deposed Shah in 1600 years. If we exclude those deposed by their own brothers or sons, and the one deposed by the Anglo-Sovietic invasion, there was only 2 of them, one going back from VII Century and the last one. That's really not a big number.
They there are chances they’re going for three within a century. Ancient history doesn’t really matter. The father of the last guy got couped after he basically lost all control over Persia.

The last guy was briefly ran out of the country and had to be reinstated by the glowies and only then got his shit together, got couped anyway ten years later.

They are dancing on the ayatollah’s grave.

Unless the next king is the kind of guy that ends up being titled ‘the great’ he’s basically doomed to repeat the mistakes of the previous two. Either go too liberal and piss of the fundamentalist Muslims or be to conservative and lead his country to ruin in the name of Allah. Or be king nothinburger of what’s left, doing literally nothing aside from enriching himself and banging the maid.

If they go democratic there’s a chance they won’t immediately elect a socialist given the pro US sentiment.
 
I really hope this Iran shit wraps up soon. The midterms will be retarded enough without adding Israeli warmongering and regurgitated Iraq/Afghan anti and pro war propaganda with the date filed off and rewritten.

What makes me thing it won't go wrong is this PDF. It's a program written by the Shah in order to do the government transition once the Islamic Regime is removed. It's pretty pragmatic, and I don't think he will be deposed after this. In any case it won't be an absolute monarchy, but something more democratic.

Hey, if we get a gif of an Iranian throwing a shoe at Trump though, it'll all be worth it.
 
Sorry guys, you're not allowed to have fun anymore, The Pokemon Company has spoken
Thanks for stopping by, TPC! Kindly ask your lawyers to remind you about American copyright law, including the carve-outs for Fair Use, before threatening the fucking Emperor again.

Political propaganda is so slam dunk 1st amendment that any attempt by Pokemon Company to actually DO anything would amount to nothing.

They can't stop it, they don't say they want to stop it, they can only say they don't endorse it.
 
Nintendo might be the only Corporation on earth who could successfully litigate the US Government into submission, lol.
Conversely, no other company on the planet deserves to discover the US Government has endless funds to litigate anyone into the poorhouse if it wants to. Trump buck breaking Nintendo's legal department would be hilarious.
 
Genuinely insane how hard Trump's momentum has crashed
>Iran war is still ongoing like everyone feared
>Trump has openly stated he wants Iranian refugees to seek asylum in America
>Economy is still collapsing
>US is continuing to lose jobs
>WH is posting unfunny memes on social media instead of doing anything constructive
>Digital ID is all but a foregone conclusion thanks to the KIDS Act
>The invasion of Cuba is likely to go about as bad as Iran

The midterms are fucked.
