Multidimensional discussion and am glad the Iranian ambassador had refused to join.

I just hope IRI doesn’t manage to get Iran attacked, before Ahmadi and their own factional infighting pulls this totally stinking and vile regime apart from within. 

IRI regime is like a ton of heated TNT ready to explode, I hope they themselves with the help of their own Ahmadi achieve the necessary spark to annihilate these filths to smithereens.
