the Iran economy was never based on tax, it was based on oil money, now that doesn't exist anymore because of the sanctions, they have to put more pressure on the people (which was already under pressure) to make up for that.

 

gasoline price was always a sensitive matter here. probably more than anything else in the economy. when they take such risk that means Iran is getting ready for another 4 years of Trump.

 

Maybe electric cars?

not possible, no company in Iran can make that happen in a short term program.

 

and if you are thinking why not importing, that's also impossible, Iran can't even import medicine or food again because of the sanctions.

Or bullets for sports shooters, as you've taught us this week...

 

I really hope these sanctions will be at the very least eased soon (I don't think so, but I do hope so).

Unfortunately, that is true. The sanctions (at least the US imposed ones) will stay in place until at least 2021.

or anything else right now. the USA is trying to build another North Korea by sanctioning everything from diapers to even pet food !! the only difference is Iran has long and uncontrolled borders with so many countries and things get smuggled in, but just with higher prices.

 

one thing is for sure, things can't stay this way for a long time, it will lead to a war unless one side gives up. and I'm almost sure that won't be Iran. giving up is just not an Iranian thing.

 

meanwhile we will see more people trying to leave the country and Europe should be ready, Iran's population is more than Syria, Yemen and Iraq combined.

But that ain't happening. There's already a ton of problems around places where refugees are staying ('asylum centers', not sure it's correct in English), I doubt Europe will actually be ready for more. 

 

For everyone's sake, at the moment specifically that of the Iranians, I hope some miracle happens.

then Europe should stop being USA's pet and try doing something real about it beside just talking or playing good cop bad cop role. otherwise they have to deal with this later. that's inevitable it doesn't matter if Europe wants it or not. it will happen.

 

right now the miracle USA is hoping for is to install this group in Iran ! no kidding, and if you think this article is exaggerated you are wrong. this is the Iranian version if ISIS with absolutely no support (I mean 0%) inside the country but with lots of support and LOVE they are getting from some western countries specially from people around Trump.

Hillary should be president. Everything is the Trump's fault.

Not sure Hilary would be great, but even a dead monkey would be better than Trump, so yeah..

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
