Which in this list of countries can you see having a Middle East style revolt in the near future & why?

Favorite Answer

1. NK is totally controlled. no opportunity to tweet where the revolutionaries will be. Won't happen at least until the Kim dynasty ends.
2. China could have another, they had Tien An Mien Square 20 years ago and demonstrated their willingness to suppress dissent. That and the people are working and not feeling pain.
3. Saudi Arabia is a family run country. If you are a Saudi, you've got bucks and are taken care of. The other gulf states have lots of Shi'ites who are dissatisfied with the Sunnis who run those countries. They could be potential flash points, especially with Shi'ite Iran stirring the pot.
4. Iran had its change and Obozo sat on his hands. The people willing to take a chance have been disappeared for sure.
5. I don't know. Syria could fall. Morocco maybe. As the Arab Spring turns into the Muslim Brotherhood winter and the words of the Who, "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" ring true, the tenacles will spread throughout the Arab mideast. Syria's government will eventually fall and be replaced with a Islamist regime as has already taken place in Tunisia, the first of the Arab countries to rebel. Islam and democracy don't mix.
6. Greece has a very large radical leftist contingent not happy with the austerity measures imposed by the EU. A communist revolution is not likely, but not unthinkable. They would be miserable but they would repudiate all the debt and sit around starving while listening to Rage Against the Machine.
7. The United States will have a revolt similar to the one it had in the Congressional elections in 2010 in November 2012. The war against small business that the Obozo Administration has been conducting actively for two and a half years will end and business will respond by hiring people....Show more

All the countries you mention are too brutal to allow any revolt to succeed including Syria. Bashir Assad would gladly wipe out half the Syrian population just to cling onto power...Show more

France, Greece or Italy

These countries are already prone to having anti-government protests. It is a short hop to a full revolt....Show more

Iran has had its revolution in 1979 and now most people are really supporting their Islamic Regime and would die for it....

Now it's time for some other countries to learn from Iran (like middle eastern revolutionaries who learnt from Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979....)
