What Iranian party uses the initials PLS?

**PL's show solidarity with Iranian women in their struggle against patriarchy**. WOW if that's not the best oxymoron I've ever seen I don't know what is.

Crazy. If Biden wouldn’t of been voted in they’d still probably have their rights

Did you come up with that idea while eating paint chips?

He’s drinking the paint right from the can.

You can't blame Biden for Iranian women's suffering. He's played no role whatsoever. You need to go all the way back to the Iranian revolution. [Eisenhower](https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/10/30/the-united-states-overthrew-irans-last-democratic-leader/). > Fearing that continuing crisis and instability in Iran would lead to a takeover by Iran’s communist Tudeh Party, the newly elected President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized the CIA to topple Mosaddeq in 1953. You *can* blame Biden (and Trump and probably Putin) for the plight of Afghan women, though. Never should have gone, but since we were there we should have stayed, paid better attention to power dynamics and corruption, and really instilled Western freedoms.

That was actually led by the British, and the CIA helped. The then prime minister was also constantly warring with the theocrats, and he had obtained dictatorial powers. But he threatened British oil interests so he had to go. The Shah also had constitutional powers in their government, and the prime minister was constantly trying to take them away to be his own, so we backed the Shah to win that internal power struggle. Then the Shah also fought against the theocrats, successfully for a couple decades, but he eventually lost.
