The planet may be approaching a turning point that has not been seen since the collapse of the russian Union. At least that's what Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) says. Speaking on the Sunday Morning Futures program with Maria Bartiromo, Cruz said the planet was on the verge of historical reality, predicting that 3 long-standing anti-American regimes could collapse in a fewer months — a change of global consequences.
And it can come much faster than many expect.
"We live in extraordinary times, Cruz said, arguing, The pace of global change "surpasses everything we have seen in decades."
According to Cruz, the unrest presently engulfing Iran may shortly go far beyond its borders.
"There is simply a very real anticipation that in the next six months regimes in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba will fall" – he said.
Cruz went further, suggesting that these countries could shortly choose a completely different path.
"There is simply a real anticipation that Iran, Venezuela and Cuba will democratically elect fresh leaders."
He presented this minute as 1 with far-reaching consequences for the United States and the world.
"Instead of incitement to violence, attacks on America, alternatively than wage war on America, there is simply a real chance that in the next six months the people of these 3 countries will elect leaders who support freedom and the free marketplace and want to side with America," he said.
If that happens, Cruz added, "it's hard to come up with something more meaningful," comparing the possible change to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.
Texas Senator dropped a large condition of his guilt for global instability straight on Tehran, calling Iran a "world's main sponsor of terrorism".
He pointed to financial support for terrorist groups, saying, "They paid and financed... 90 percent of Hamas' backing comes from Iran, 90 percent of Hezbollah's backing from Iran." Cruz besides noted that Iran was sending terrorists abroad, "including sending them, among others, to Venezuela and attacking Americans."
He besides attributed support to president Trump for the Iranian people and emphasized what he called a decisive escalation from the White home in fresh days.
"In the last 2 days there has been a truly crucial step in which president Trump unambiguously said, 'It is time for a fresh leadership in Iran'," said Cruz. He continued, quoting the President's words directly: "It is time for Ayatollah Khomeini, his spiritual dictatorship to end." Cruz called this message "very important."
When Bartiromo pressed him to see if the United States should take direct action, Cruz argued that Washington should prosecute maximum force with a clear aim to overthrow the Iranian regime. He said that the government is openly defined by hatred of the United States, indicating the regular participation of Ayatollah in the cry of "Death of America" and the fact that Iran even commemorates the takeover of the US embassy in 1979 on the yearly "Day of America's Death".
Cruz besides backed president Trump's decision to hit Iran's atomic facilities, saying, That the president felt that the hazard of allowing the theocratic dictatorship to get atomic weapons was unacceptable. According to Cruz, this attack was Trump's most crucial abroad policy movement. He contrasted this approach with Obama's administration's consequence to the Green Revolution in Iran in 2009, erstwhile extended protests met with American restraint. Cruz said that the United States wasted this moment, refusing a firm emergence on the side of the Iranian people. This time, he argued, Trump sent a clear signal to Tehran that violent suppression of protesters would have serious consequences.
Reagan won the Cold War, refusing to treat communist dictators as moral equals worthy of endless dialogue. Trump applies the same rule to Iran, Venezuela and Cuba — regimes that survived for decades simply due to the fact that the establishment did not have the courage to finish them.
