    And if the civilians are armed by a foreign country, with the goal of toppling your government? Should the government just let them win?

      Probably, they are the ones who are being governed after all, if it is a stupid ass decision it’s their stupid ass decision to make.

        They don’t get to decide for everyone else.

        Those police and military personnel, for instance, don’t want Iran to fall. They shot the armed rioters because they wanted to defend Iran. Why don’t they count?
