| #3 Shortround is crazy but the opposition is crazy too. It does seem like a showdown is coming. If the Mahdi doesn't come in June, that's problem for Shortround. Since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the Supreme Leader and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Shortround would probably get aced out. The real power is not behind Shortround. |
