enemy and to the outside to the israelis to the americans and for the american president to come out and try to show this message of not just support but in a way cheering that. could be detrimental to the protesters and also let's not forget this is the same president last week one iranians that he would target them including the cultural side and then double down on that comment twice after his advisors basically warned him that that's going to cost to the war crimes so i'm also doubting that intentions of the president the fact that he might have any kind of sympathy with their i mean people as opposed to using this for political. ok well just looking forward us to worthing the next step might be the american defense secretary marc asperse is the u.s. government is willing to hold talks with the wrens leaders to find what he called a new way forward what are the chances of that actually happening. well the chances
