When the Iranian people rose up against their oppressors early in Barack Obama’s presidency, Obama neither said nor did anything to show support for them. Why? Because he didn’t want to piss off the mad mullahs, with whom he fully intended to negotiate the nuclear deal that stands as one of the worst agreements an American president ever made.
I would say another reason is that Obama genuinely had no sympathy for the Iranian people. When he sees oppressive regimes around the world, he thinks to himself, “America is no better,” so it’s not a priority for him to advocate for the freedom of people like the would-be Green Revolutionaries who got brutally put down by the Iranian regime.
Allowing their drug trafficking to go on unabated
But it didn’t end there. Obama did negotiate that nuclear deal, and it amounted to little more than the U.S. lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iran’s financial assets, while signing on to an inspection charade that no one believes will stop Iran from developing the bomb. And what did they give us in exchange for this? Nothing. John Kerry’s approach to negotiating with bad actors is “I can get them to trust me,” and the way he does this is to give them anything they want - up to and including allowing their drug trafficking to go on unabated.
