If the US Gov't can manipulate geo-economic factors with the intent of causing and directing civilian unrest towards political enemies with this level of effect, there's no way they could do something similar at home, even if they wanted to, right? Which, of course, they don't...

This is a lesson. Every protest movement, past/ present/future, should be viewed through this lens. Statecraft f***ery knows no bounds. Civilians are disposable tools.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent on Iran:

“We engineered a dollar shortage inside the country, and it had rapid effects. The tipping point came in December, when one of Iran’s largest banks collapsed following a bank run, forcing the central bank to print money.

The Iranian currency then went into a free fall, inflation surged, and as a result, we’ve seen the Iranian people take to the streets.”
