This man used to have the ultimate button to blow any country on earth, but he keeps that button far away in his locker not to press it when he is emotional. Such a peace loving person.
@Emprial Lion Well, Nuclear weapons or rockets may not show the superiority of a countries military. Pakistan possesses ballistic nuclear weapons but it has a military that couldn't control the Taliban and the same as North Korea. Having Nuclear weapons didn't make you a country that hit first. The Australian, Germany, Italy, and other countries' military is influential without Nuck.
@Emprial Lion But when Jimmy Carter says I would have wiped out Iran he may not be talking about the red button. There are thousands of pathways to wipe out one country.
Well, such sabotage is referred to as terrorism in the modern term. Any country sponsored such acts it is not self-defense. It is a self-declaration to be excluded from the international society, and braking its possible future. Sometimes even knowing the facts it is not a good idea for countries to argue on collateral issues with an elephant in the room. But coming back to the substantial issue, although I am angry with his stance on many international issues, he has exercise caution not to create horror in the middle of a cold war.
He was the epitome of a true southern gentleman. Emphasis on "'gentle'. He was also much stronger than many realize. He did not allow anyone to bully him into doing what his own conscience told him not to do. Not even his wife...and the hostages came home.
Rosalynn's statement that "Peace is difficult, war is popular" is really fucking insightful. I don't know that I agreed with President Carter 100% on every policy and action he took, but I have no doubt that he was a fundamentally decent man who wants to make the world a better place
Just the Coolest Dude Yo How did that work for him against the hostage crisis? Ronald Reagan did what needed to be done. Iran did mess with the U.S. while Regan was in the office. You should remember that.
Jimmy carter was a great guy, and his work post presidency should be admired, and I agree he wasn't a war monger, but the man's presidency overall was a failure, and in many ways set the country back years.
@@mitchellima4736 well what about trump he sets up great economy for US before china virus, didnt start any war and actualy making peace yet hes still hated and booted from office
@@grade3328 He didn't set up great economy before Corona, Obama built that economy up after Bush administration crashed it during 2008. Trump just went on with it. Job growth in Trump's first 3 yr actually slowed down from last 3 yr Obama. This whole Trump didn't started any war, he didn't end any either. His bomb dropping/day was higher than Obama & bush. He dropped more bombs in his 4 yrs than Obama & bush did during there first term. He vetoed the bill to end US involvement in Yemen war. So this whole hoe war abhorrent he was, is absolute nonsense.
@@epa2349 yeah just keep telling yourself that obama is the reason for the great economy not the tax cut and tariffs on china which bring back jobs and my point still stand he didnt start any war thats a lot more than most president in these past years especially bomb dropping on civillian loving obama but most people hate him cos orange man bad lol
@@grade3328 Keep telling myself what? The actual economic truth, not some Qnon conspiracy that orange cultists like you convince yourself of. Here's a simple & pure statistics for ya, might hurt your feelings. Trump's first 3 yr in office before Corona produced 1.5 million less jobs than Obama's last 3 yr in office. Job growth slowed under Trump due to his nonsensical trade wars which actually cost 300k American jobs. Trump's trillion dollar tax cut benefitting the rich was another Republican try at their infamous trickle down economics started by their Lord savior Reagan. Cut the tax off rich & wealthy & high income people, that will trickle down, it has never worked & never will. But who would convince it to Republicans. Again not starting a war means nothing when you are continuing all of em & dropping more bombs/day than your 2 predecessor did. Also when you were repeatedly vetoing the bill that would end US involvement in one of the wars- Yemen war & have dropped more bombs in your 4 yrs than your 2 predecessors did during their respective first terms. Trump loved bombing people even more than Obama did. At least Obama didn't advocated killing the family members of "terrorists". So this whole war abhorrence of Trump is nonsense. There's only one war abhorrent president in last 90 yrs, who didn't drop a single bomb or fired a bullet, it was Carter, no one else.
This guy had already wiped Iran from the map by supporting mullahs to take over the power and overturn our great Shah in our prestigious Iran. And mullahs in return betrayed him. This is what he is angry about. His fury is not about not being able to release the hostages it’s about mullahs’ betrayal. Because he knew Soviet Union is watching US military hostage rescue operation that eventually shot down the helicopters in Tabas desert at a very critical moment and forced the US forces to retreat. He didn’t deserve to be re-elected.
@@HouryHoodyRezaie You're welcome. I hope this sheds some light on the truth for those who have no idea what led mullahs to take embassy hostages that followed the failed US secret operation to release the hostages, and especially to those who still believe in the fake story that a sandstorm aborted the military operation.
Actually, at the time of the rescue attempt, there were 53 hostages. One of them, Richard Queen, was released that summer due to medical reasons. His release decreased the number of hostages to 52 but it was several months after the fact. A small error to be sure but just setting the record straight.
If you hadn’t betrayed the Shah, you wouldn’t have had such problems either . It was just your fear, that Iran was dealing with US and Europa, like you were doing to the middle east. You increased the price of your goods and shah increased the price of his good -Oil-. But instead you brought the evil - islamic republic- down on iranian people, who only wanted peace and made them suffer 42 years long.
That’s absolutely true. He betrayed our Shah by supporting mullahs, and in return mullahs betrayed him that cost him an election. He didn’t deserve re-election when he easily betrayed his closest ally.
the shah threw a giant $635 million dollar lavish party that literally bankrupted Iran and made people hate him. he was an idiot who wanted to impress everyone.
The title of the video is inappropriate, cause it gives the impression that that was all was said during the interview, and it casts president Carter in a negative light. However, I believe Jimmy Carter was a great president as well as a person. He had the foresight for not taking a hasty or a rash action that could have led to more problems and disasters, inspite of all the pressure he was under, and if that shows one thing, it’s actually a sign of wisdom, strength and personal fortitude on his part, to not fall under or be swayed by a war mongering super structure that is more inclined to war and escalations instead of diplomacy or finding a middle ground. Unfortunately, when you are like that, you are more than likely to be smeared and dubbed as weak.......
@Ramen Lover - what's even more remarkable is that he's still fully mobile and his mind is still sharp. I would LOVE to be in that good condition if I make it to 96
Then Reagan came and after 70 plus years as a creditor nation we became a debtor nation and adopted a stance toward terrorism that even now haunts us. Carter wouldn't have traded guns for hostages. He stood firm and saved lives even though it cost him. What a leader.
This is the same man who spoke about how stabilizing the Shah was to the region. The Shah was his boy. Until the Shah stopped playing the game of oil. Ayatollahs Khomeini was safe in France until he was allowed to return to Iran. People need to watch some of the videos on the former president and the Shah
he was in France for a few weeks before the Shah left and then he returned. He had been exiled to Turkey and then Iraq for about 15 years before the revolution. Please learn your history.
Losing the Presidency was one of the best things that ever happened to Jimmy. He’s probably one of our greatest former Presidents ever. His morality is his greatest strength as a person and it equally handicapped him as a President.
😂😂😂 I am sorry I cannot help it laughing . I am amazed how uninformed you people are . Hey man Jimmy Carter is the one who ordered the regime change in Iran by removing the Shah I'm bringing the mullahs of course with the help of England and France . He wants so moral ??😂😂 Islamic Republic mullahs captured and tortured and killed at least two million or more of Iranians , man, where have you been ?? He himself said it that he listened to English government . Jimmy Carter Unleashed Satan 👿on Iranian people . Moral??? Hahahaha

A man still ahead of his time. He certainly knows his own nation. A nation always happy to resort to war. If only they understood that attitude tends to lead to more wars. Carter needed the internet in his time to get his message out. Yes a man ahead of his time.

( Google statistics) and since 1700 how many wars the world made by itself and often USA has been asked to rescue and solve the problem ? stop lies about America ! if America would not exist the world would be in ashes since 1900
I personally think he was a good president. He was just the right president at the wrong time. If Gerald Ford was elected, and then Ronald Reagan took over, and then Carter defeated Sr. Bush, I think Jimmy Carter would be perfect for a post cold war world.
@@dogsbecute Of course majority of Americans Hate him,you can read dozens of articles about it online,most of them call Jimmy a sanctimonious piece of $hi!
unpopular opinion but i think he would have been remembered like FDR if he Reagan on his side. Carter had the most moral fiber of any president, he cared deeply for the poor, and was idealistic. but he largely lacked the cut throat attitude or the political coopration to get polices pased. He needed an enforcer and a a diplomatic to get Congress on his side and Reagan was arguably the best president of the last 40 years at getting the other side to do what he wanted, either with favors or even with verbal juijtisu. During his reelection his opponent said he knew he'd lost the debate and the election when he tried sublimity mock Reagan for his age and Reagan replied instantly with "I wont make age a part of my campaign, I wont hold my opponents inexperience against him" and not only did the crowd laughed, his opponent did too. Carter couldrein in some of Reagans less moral tendencies but he needed a skilled negotatior and orator both to keep the party in line but also deal with foreign matters.

If you hadn’t toppled the Shah of Iran, the Middle East would still be in relative peace . Price of oil was quadrupled and you needed a new Iranian government but you ruined the Middle East to this day .
If given another term, he claims that he could have solidified the Mideast peace treaty he was involved in. I would love to hear him explain how exactly he feels he could have done that.
The integrity and deep respect for PEACE and human life which President Carter has consistently lived by are more patriotic and brave Presidential assets this Nation has ever seen in politically powerful leadership. Pundits are usually the war mongers. Mr. Carter was wise and courageous to act within his good conscience even though all ambition to be re-elected was sacrificed. It's good to hear his words"...yes, I believe I made the right decisions".
Hahahaha 😂😂 I am amazed how uninformed you people are when it comes to Jimmy Carter . Jimmy Carter he's the one who ordered regime changed in Iran by removing the Shah and bringing the mullahs 👿 to power .he said that he listened to English government . As a result Islamic Republic captured and tortured and killed maybe over 3 million Iranians . I give you an example, Islamist at the beginning of revolution captured a girl from city of shiraz. Pour gasoline on her . Set her on fire and those satans whipping her while she was on fire . Millions example like that . I'm truly amazed to see that people like you exist on the face of Earth .
He destroyed our beautiful and glorious country and still brazenly defends his decision. Tens of thousands of brilliant young people were buried underground because of his betrayal of Iran and he is still alive, a clear proof that this world has no justice.
@@Jay-vp5tn just shut your asshole. you dont know anything about the subject. what kind of moron would insult an entire country and its people anyway... perhaps a Trumpet? Shah was a US ally, and the country speeding towards progress. Iran was not far from becoming industrialised. Much like what south Korea has become now, only with much more potential. The mistakes in policies leading to this disaster were designed by US and GB, too much trust had been put on these powers from shahs side. For 10-15 years, the mullahs were let loose into the population, having a monopoly on freedom of speech, spreading Shia ideology only as a force against communism, to fight the east. (because religion is not compatible with communism, right?) while any other political activity was completely banned. Islamic ideology wearing a sheep costume, with no other political competition and the fact that Iranian people were easy to manipulate (developing country), the rest is obvious. This worked against the shah, the people of Iran, The entire middle east and the whole world. is there any blame on the US? Iran had a democratically elected prime minister 1951-53 before US orchestrated a coup and overthrew his gov. They put the shah back in power. Later they realised the shah was getting too powerful, and would eventually disobey... and he did, when he raised the oil prices and was leading the OPEC... and much more conflict of interest that could come later. So they saw the opportunity and supported Khomeini, otherwise the bastard could never had gained power. doesn'tweren't
As an Iranian which didn't like this man at those time but came to learn that this man truly is a great man with great conscious. My ultimate respect to you man. Wish all men all over the world would be like you. As my hero Einstein would say I am citizen of the world.
@@atlskyline1 we Iranian were the fools, we would have picked anyone to replace the shah since we always saw him as puppet even though he did his best under the conditions We always have tendency to blame others for our mistake, when we accept our mistakes and learn from our past gor good and bad we can create a better future. That said i guess that is the fault alll humanity, hopefully we all learn from history.
the US and UK were the ones who betrayed the Shah and supported Knomeini to change the regime ! I do not understand what you, as an iranian are talking about ! America is the ally of no country ! NONE ! America is the Ally with manipulation in other countries affairs !
@@tdavani What are you talking about? We had no choice because Khomeini was supported and brought back by the West when it was clear that he was a traitor and exiled from Iran. No man comes to power without propaganda & the support of the big corporates. Khomeini fooled the Iranian people by only talking about the poverty and the so called oppression by the Shah to get the support. Whe he actually got chosen to be the leader of the revolution, he murdered all of his opponents and took the power in a sleazy way. We need to follow the money in order to understand this. How did he got the oil money? Corporates! The people who control the real money. The people, we the peasants have no power when it comes to selecting a leader or government. We live in a clown world with evil humans that want to keep us in check. Idealistically speaking, we need local some governments in Iran. Every district should have its own government that is controlled by the national government with a general constitution. Like freedom of speech, religion and stuff like that. Religion should never interfere with politics. Watch what President Raegan said about the betrayal of the Shah on RUclips. That the US made a mistake for not supporting him and label him as a cruel dictator.
As if that was President Carter`s fault?? And btw. Didn`t Reagan sell weapons to the Iranians?? Stop being so fucking hypocritical. I can`t stand conservatives bashing away on a great man like President Carter who has devoted his life to peace.
Travelator Every single of the hostages was freed unharmed thanks to President Carter. No huge war were started from the incidence, and Carter succeeded in his negotiations with the Iranians.
Travelator No he was not. President Carter negotiated the release of the victim. He sat up for three days prior to the inauguration of Reagan and negotiated the release. The victims where already in a plane waiting to take off when Reagan was sworn in, but the Iranians wanted to humiliate Carter by waiting until Reagan has been sworn in.
Western politicians Could reduce pressure on the Shah of Iran and avoid criticizing him for human rights. Shah was absolutely softer than most US friends in the middle east even these days. During Iran's revolution, BBC and other media buried Shah with too much misinformation and make up his opposition to boos the revaluation. Don't give me wrong, personally have respect for President Carter and his peaceful mindset, and whatever he did after the hostage was right. But he should have supported Shah more efficiently and prevented all unfortunate things after the revolution. Refer to Shah's interviews after the revolution.
Mr Carter is an inspiration and a legend that put humanitarian values over his own interests. " Peace is difficult, war is popular." Mr Carter, you're someone that was never even imitated let alone replicated.
@abyssofthoughts5842 Wrong! Since his betrayal to our King in Iran substituting him with mullahs, Middle East never saw even a single day without bloodshed. It even cost The US in its own land at least in one occasion as 911, needless to say how many soldiers were died in Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world since then. it even cost US financially even now as we speak billions of dollar each years guarding Persian Gulf to protect their energy supply.
@@danielmoore411 Why not IN your country? My friend, The shah made Irans streets in the 60s look like LA did in the 70s They are saying they shouldn't have launched the coup that Placed Khomeini in charge. You're getting the two mixed up i suppose
He didnt get reelected because of the economy just like reagan said in his closing argument during the last debate. Are you better off than 4 years ago?
That's part of the reason, but not the only reason. The Iranian hostage crisis played a massive role all throughout the final year or so of his presidency.

@@sound9864 go and study history its islamic revolution neither usa nor saudi want this to happen in middle east that's the only reason why Iran is cornered spreading terrorism
Mr. Carter, respectfully, withdrawing support for the Shah of Iran was a mistake. It led to the rise of Islamic extremism and instability in the region. History shows us the consequences of such decisions. Your intentions may have been good, but the outcome was unfortunate.
Jonathan lmao that was just to save face. Carter and his CIA secretly supported the ayatollahs... the shah was way too powerful to be overthrown without the help of the US government
One of the reasons the hostages were freed was because the leaders in Iran saw that Reagan was going to take the White House and were afraid that Reagan would have wiped Iran off the map.
Some comments show how people don’t watch videos and make comments based on titles only. He would NOT wipe Iran off the earth, because he was a peaceful man who thought about all human life.
Excuse me the reason why the Iran hostage crisis started was because the Shah of Iran needed cancer treatment and Jimmy Carter allowed him to get it in the United States. Please understand what happened before a crisis before you make a judgment
Very well said Mrs Carter. Your husband not only represent America but all of humanity. He was right in saying he could have wipe Iran of the map of the world yet he chose otherwise for the sake of PEACE n the value of human lives. That makes him a great man .

The hostage crisis was just one of many problems for Jimmy Carter. I remember standing in line with my dad for 2 hours waiting for gas. I also remember the high unemployment and inflation. They termed it the Misery Index which was the unemployment rate and inflation rate added together. It was well over 20%. He was a DISASTER and I take issue with him saying he would have been re-elected if he had rescued the hostages. I don't think so. Maybe today he would have because this country is so flooded with 3rd world immigrants who vote democrat no matter what, but not then.
You are right, America belongs to the First Nation, not Third party blood sucking colonists greedy Europeans, who occupied and colonized the indigenous people of the land with fake democracy
I am Iranian American and I am grateful to president Carter for putting the interest of people of US and Iran above all. It was a decision which was way ahead of its time. Hope today we can appreciate President Carter is a hero.
This man cost 8 Americans their lives in a disaster rescue mission for those hostages and could not free them. Those cowards freed em the day Reagan was inaugurated

Awesome multinational Military US forces combined Training for the IRAN CRISIS ! IT WAS SPECTACULAR what all I saw during the whole thing ! We had US Air Forces A10 Wart Hogs, C-130's, B-52's dropping bombs in the Valley floor that was truly spectacular visual on the whole event and their fly over us way up high over the Peak just barely above us zooming by us waiving back at us one by one and then the reports of the Bombs dropping was amazing as the earth shook below our feet feeling the after effects of tons & Tons of Bombs being dropped. Then the CIC called us to duty one day suddenly and when we were trucked back to the Base we saw all the C-130's waiting on us to get packed up to leave for the war in IRAN ! ! ! We were thus also given a short period time to call up loved ones for we were indeed leaving ! I remember it all too well and I could not get an answer to my wife at home at Ft. Carson, Colorado so I called my father & Shared with him whats happening ! I i failed to come home alive that he see;s to make sure my family is doing fine. That was one hell of a day ! ! ! It indeed was called off later eve while in flight to S. Carolina where we would departure for an un declassed country near the Iran. Its really Awesome when the flight is called off and you feel the C130 making a hard left turn back. CONFIRMATION ! ! Its an Awesome feeling ! 1979 Ft. Erwin, Ca. Ret, USArmy 85

Even a fellow soldier can be as vicious as a real front line enemy at times too. Yes my blood was shed, but God used it that they would change what got into them that was evil. I had to learn to ask God to forgive me the hate I felt towards them first and then forgive the persons even in person. It was heart felt to see another humble themselves asking for forgiveness. Of course I forgave them. The toughest thing I ever faced was my enemy forgiving them ! Not some thing we soldiers can do on the real battle field. I was a Vietnam era trained soldier Jul73. But got to S. Korea just as the last of the troops leaving Vietnam. Yet their i was with CIA in military Uniform on the Army's Greatest kept secret back then.4th USA ARMY MISSILE COMMAND just South of The DMZ between N & South Korea's.

Korea back then to keep them from coming down again since the war was never terminated from the Korean war. That was the one experience I share for others to understand how precious life is and as well to be ready to go home to heaven any given second. Jesus is just alright was the music I was learning from back then about Gods love.

What a shame. He doesn't mention how turning a blind eye to Shah's regime's brutalities and abuses precipitated the revolution in the first place, and now he gives the sanctimonious talk about how he just didn't want to kill innocent people.
Carter is a man of Faith and honesty. He couldn’t be bought by the lobbies, so they played that trick on him. George Walker Bush arranged for the hostages to be released AFTER the US elections, so Carter could NOT take credit for them and consequently be less popular than his opponent Reagan. Irán had already agreed to release the hostages towards the end of Carter’s presidency. I love Reagan as a person and an actor, but he was a YES MAN, in the hands of the ones that didn’t want peace in the region. I hope one day, history will give President Carter the credit he deserves. Peace!
The reason Carter didn't wipe off Iran off the map is that his he knew or he was told that his Arab friends would be wiped off as well . This situation is true today .
I have never been as proud of an American president in my lifetime. Or as grateful for the opportunity to cast my first two ballots for him. Subsequent history has demonstrated that it is easy to destroy but painstaking to build and nurture. President Jimmy Carters lifetime is a testament to human rights, decency and service coinciding with moral uprightness. May God bless him and Mrs. Carter.
@@TangledUpInBlue631Carter, in large part, is the very reason for the betrayal of the Shah and the replacement of Ayatollah Khomeini. His handling of Iran was terrible, and resulted in not only losing a powerful friend in a crucial region, but creating a great enemy and the over 4 decades of brutal oppression of Iranians.
@TangledUpInBlue631 You must of been privileged during those times . My Daddy & mother did whatever they could to get buy . He screwed this country more than one way . Sure was a nice fella, though .
He stabbed the shah in the back as he raised the price of the oil up after America as Americans do.... government!! Do what they always think they can and want to Do...
Carter established diplomatic relation with PRC, handed Canal back to Panama. But, if he shake hand with Castro, he won't be able to finish his first and only term.
With my apology to American people, I never ever hated anyone as I hate Carter. All the world live in the insecurity, because of his cruelness in 1979. He was a great lier and betrayed the late Shah. I am proud of all American polititions and celebraties who were against of his devil politics at that time. God bless all of them. They showed me there is niceness, kindness and humanity in west. I don't know why I saw this video, since I close the browser when i notice any video or picture of Carter.
Jimmy Carter is certainly one of the modern U.S. Presidents I have high regards for. Despite having a military background he is basically a humanist, even a moralist to some extant. But he was unlucky to run into not just another moralist but also a dedicated spiritualist too, in the shape of the Iranian Ayatullah. If not for this hard fact, Carter would have easily got his well-deserved second term ! Still, by hindsight, he merits our true respect ! !
War is much easy and peace involves huge intelligence,intellect ,wisodm ,strategy and good people . A famouse proverb, " Absolute power corrupts absolutely" But when the same power is given to ,Highly intelligent,person of wisdom ,Idea ,sensible and empathy and person of peace the same power becomes a powerful tool . Who has the power ? Mr Carter Respect for You . American love war and chaos and crisis and trust me I see hell lot of similarities with Germany in world war and America same idea and same thinking We need good people in power not people who are planning chaos .
What kind of piece he achieved that we don't know about. He caused world the worst problems until now it cant be eradicated. He brought Islamic radical to govern Iran, and thousands of youth had been executed for lack of human rights and freedom. Carter should have never been a president, farming was better for him.
"peace is difficult, war is popular". YES, omg! Such a huge contrast to the politicians who are in office now.

One thing I love about Carter is that he has always tried to prevent war...

What a fucking joke, he betrayed the Shah. I sympathize with Carter, but the man was an incompetent fool.

@Emprial Lion Well, Nuclear weapons or rockets may not show the superiority of a countries military. Pakistan possesses ballistic nuclear weapons but it has a military that couldn't control the Taliban and the same as North Korea. Having Nuclear weapons didn't make you a country that hit first. The Australian, Germany, Italy, and other countries' military is influential without Nuck.
@Emprial Lion But when Jimmy Carter says I would have wiped out Iran he may not be talking about the red button. There are thousands of pathways to wipe out one country.
Well, such sabotage is referred to as terrorism in the modern term. Any country sponsored such acts it is not self-defense. It is a self-declaration to be excluded from the international society, and braking its possible future. Sometimes even knowing the facts it is not a good idea for countries to argue on collateral issues with an elephant in the room. But coming back to the substantial issue, although I am angry with his stance on many international issues, he has exercise caution not to create horror in the middle of a cold war.
He was the epitome of a true southern gentleman. Emphasis on "'gentle'. He was also much stronger than many realize. He did not allow anyone to bully him into doing what his own conscience told him not to do. Not even his wife...and the hostages came home.
@Bud Bundy ok
Rosalynn's statement that "Peace is difficult, war is popular" is really fucking insightful.
I don't know that I agreed with President Carter 100% on every policy and action he took, but I have no doubt that he was a fundamentally decent man who wants to make the world a better place

@@grade3328
He didn't set up great economy before Corona, Obama built that economy up after Bush administration crashed it during 2008. Trump just went on with it. Job growth in Trump's first 3 yr actually slowed down from last 3 yr Obama.
This whole Trump didn't started any war, he didn't end any either. His bomb dropping/day was higher than Obama & bush.
He dropped more bombs in his 4 yrs than Obama & bush did during there first term. He vetoed the bill to end US involvement in Yemen war. So this whole hoe war abhorrent he was, is absolute nonsense.
@@epa2349 yeah just keep telling yourself that obama is the reason for the great economy not the tax cut and tariffs on china which bring back jobs and my point still stand he didnt start any war thats a lot more than most president in these past years especially bomb dropping on civillian loving obama but most people hate him cos orange man bad lol
@@grade3328
Keep telling myself what? The actual economic truth, not some Qnon conspiracy that orange cultists like you convince yourself of.
Here's a simple & pure statistics for ya, might hurt your feelings. Trump's first 3 yr in office before Corona produced 1.5 million less jobs than Obama's last 3 yr in office. Job growth slowed under Trump due to his nonsensical trade wars which actually cost 300k American jobs. Trump's trillion dollar tax cut benefitting the rich was another Republican try at their infamous trickle down economics started by their Lord savior Reagan. Cut the tax off rich & wealthy & high income people, that will trickle down, it has never worked & never will. But who would convince it to Republicans.
Again not starting a war means nothing when you are continuing all of em & dropping more bombs/day than your 2 predecessor did.
Also when you were repeatedly vetoing the bill that would end US involvement in one of the wars- Yemen war & have dropped more bombs in your 4 yrs than your 2 predecessors did during their respective first terms.
Trump loved bombing people even more than Obama did. At least Obama didn't advocated killing the family members of "terrorists". So this whole war abhorrence of Trump is nonsense. There's only one war abhorrent president in last 90 yrs, who didn't drop a single bomb or fired a bullet, it was Carter, no one else.
This guy had already wiped Iran from the map by supporting mullahs to take over the power and overturn our great Shah in our prestigious Iran.
And mullahs in return betrayed him. This is what he is angry about. His fury is not about not being able to release the hostages it’s about mullahs’ betrayal. Because he knew Soviet Union is watching US military hostage rescue operation that eventually shot down the helicopters in Tabas desert at a very critical moment and forced the US forces to retreat.
He didn’t deserve to be re-elected.
Thank you. Well explained!
Question which shah? Is it the last shah?
Shot down?
@@HouryHoodyRezaie
You're welcome. I hope this sheds some light on the truth for those who have no idea what led mullahs to take embassy hostages that followed the failed US secret operation to release the hostages, and especially to those who still believe in the fake story that a sandstorm aborted the military operation.
Why would he destroy his own puppet. Like im serious, shah was pro western.
Actually, at the time of the rescue attempt, there were 53 hostages. One of them, Richard Queen, was released that summer due to medical reasons. His release decreased the number of hostages to 52 but it was several months after the fact. A small error to be sure but just setting the record straight.
If you hadn’t betrayed the Shah, you wouldn’t have had such problems either .
It was just your fear, that Iran was dealing with US and Europa, like you were doing to the middle east.
You increased the price of your goods and shah increased the price of his good -Oil-.
But instead you brought the evil - islamic republic- down on iranian people, who only wanted peace and made them suffer 42 years long.
That’s absolutely true. He betrayed our Shah by supporting mullahs, and in return mullahs betrayed him that cost him an election. He didn’t deserve re-election when he easily betrayed his closest ally.
the shah threw a giant $635 million dollar lavish party that literally bankrupted Iran and made people hate him. he was an idiot who wanted to impress everyone.
The title of the video is inappropriate, cause it gives the impression that that was all was said during the interview, and it casts president Carter in a negative light. However, I believe Jimmy Carter was a great president as well as a person. He had the foresight for not taking a hasty or a rash action that could have led to more problems and disasters, inspite of all the pressure he was under, and if that shows one thing, it’s actually a sign of wisdom, strength and personal fortitude on his part, to not fall under or be swayed by a war mongering super structure that is more inclined to war and escalations instead of diplomacy or finding a middle ground. Unfortunately, when you are like that, you are more than likely to be smeared and dubbed as weak.......
You’re wrong.
He was absolutely pathetic.

This is the same man who spoke about how stabilizing the Shah was to the region. The Shah was his boy. Until the Shah stopped playing the game of oil. Ayatollahs Khomeini was safe in France until he was allowed to return to Iran. People need to watch some of the videos on the former president and the Shah

he was in France for a few weeks before the Shah left and then he returned. He had been exiled to Turkey and then Iraq for about 15 years before the revolution. Please learn your history.

unpopular opinion but i think he would have been remembered like FDR if he Reagan on his side. Carter had the most moral fiber of any president, he cared deeply for the poor, and was idealistic. but he largely lacked the cut throat attitude or the political coopration to get polices pased. He needed an enforcer and a a diplomatic to get Congress on his side and Reagan was arguably the best president of the last 40 years at getting the other side to do what he wanted, either with favors or even with verbal juijtisu. During his reelection his opponent said he knew he'd lost the debate and the election when he tried sublimity mock Reagan for his age and Reagan replied instantly with "I wont make age a part of my campaign, I wont hold my opponents inexperience against him" and not only did the crowd laughed, his opponent did too. Carter couldrein in some of Reagans less moral tendencies but he needed a skilled negotatior and orator both to keep the party in line but also deal with foreign matters.
There is no “elected at the wrong time”, you either are a candidate fit to solve the problems that may come with your time in office, or you can’t.

Shah was a US ally, and the country speeding towards progress. Iran was not far from becoming industrialised. Much like what south Korea has become now, only with much more potential.
The mistakes in policies leading to this disaster were designed by US and GB, too much trust had been put on these powers from shahs side. For 10-15 years, the mullahs were let loose into the population, having a monopoly on freedom of speech, spreading Shia ideology only as a force against communism, to fight the east. (because religion is not compatible with communism, right?) while any other political activity was completely banned. Islamic ideology wearing a sheep costume, with no other political competition and the fact that Iranian people were easy to manipulate (developing country), the rest is obvious. This worked against the shah, the people of Iran, The entire middle east and the whole world.
is there any blame on the US?
Iran had a democratically elected prime minister 1951-53 before US orchestrated a coup and overthrew his gov. They put the shah back in power. Later they realised the shah was getting too powerful, and would eventually disobey... and he did, when he raised the oil prices and was leading the OPEC... and much more conflict of interest that could come later. So they saw the opportunity and supported Khomeini, otherwise the bastard could never had gained power.

No man comes to power without propaganda & the support of the big corporates.

Whe he actually got chosen to be the leader of the revolution, he murdered all of his opponents and took the power in a sleazy way. We need to follow the money in order to understand this. How did he got the oil money? Corporates! The people who control the real money.
The people, we the peasants have no power when it comes to selecting a leader or government. We live in a clown world with evil humans that want to keep us in check.
Idealistically speaking, we need local some governments in Iran. Every district should have its own government that is controlled by the national government with a general constitution. Like freedom of speech, religion and stuff like that. Religion should never interfere with politics.

Yellyman Gonzales So what did Carter do that actually brought greatness to Iran?
Travelator Every single of the hostages was freed unharmed thanks to President Carter. No huge war were started from the incidence, and Carter succeeded in his negotiations with the Iranians.
Yellyman Gonzales What bogus are you talking about? Reagan was the one that released those prisoners.
Travelator No he was not. President Carter negotiated the release of the victim. He sat up for three days prior to the inauguration of Reagan and negotiated the release. The victims where already in a plane waiting to take off when Reagan was sworn in, but the Iranians wanted to humiliate Carter by waiting until Reagan has been sworn in.
Western politicians Could reduce pressure on the Shah of Iran and avoid criticizing him for human rights. Shah was absolutely softer than most US friends in the middle east even these days. During Iran's revolution, BBC and other media buried Shah with too much misinformation and make up his opposition to boos the revaluation. Don't give me wrong, personally have respect for President Carter and his peaceful mindset, and whatever he did after the hostage was right. But he should have supported Shah more efficiently and prevented all unfortunate things after the revolution. Refer to Shah's interviews after the revolution.
Carter makes Mr. Rogers look like General Schwarzkopf.

You indeed did it when you brought khomeini
No

Agreed

@@osamabinladen824 Yes. and Nothing you say would change that. Iran is a poor Islamic pile of shit right now where as back then before the dark revolution it was the 4th most powerful Secular nation in the world. Iran is also one of the most hated countries in the world right now while back then it was one of the most respected nations in the world. and on top of all that, The ENTIRE Middle east is a shit show as of now and a war zone and it all started when the Shah was removed from power
The hostage crisis was just one of many problems for Jimmy Carter. I remember standing in line with my dad for 2 hours waiting for gas. I also remember the high unemployment and inflation. They termed it the Misery Index which was the unemployment rate and inflation rate added together. It was well over 20%. He was a DISASTER and I take issue with him saying he would have been re-elected if he had rescued the hostages. I don't think so. Maybe today he would have because this country is so flooded with 3rd world immigrants who vote democrat no matter what, but not then.
I remember standing in line with my dad waiting to get gas and Donald Trump told us to all drink bleach. You know, Trump, your hero.
Holy shit you've been through a lot.

You are right, America belongs to the First Nation, not Third party blood sucking colonists greedy Europeans, who occupied and colonized the indigenous people of the land with fake democracy
I am Iranian American and I am grateful to president Carter for putting the interest of people of US and Iran above all. It was a decision which was way ahead of its time. Hope today we can appreciate President Carter is a hero.
LMAO
Jimmy Carter orchestrated the 1979 Iranian revolution
The reason ur parents moved to the US is because of Carter
you Outta your head
This man cost 8 Americans their lives in a disaster rescue mission for those hostages and could not free them. Those cowards freed em the day Reagan was inaugurated
Trump also could have wiped Iran off the map too.
Yeah but that would be considered a fascist action. Only Democrats have the right to wipe off nations
So what!? All countries with nuclear weapons have this power. Pakistan or China can also wipe US off the map so what
Nuclear war will wipe everyone off the map. And I think Pakistani would strike India before it striked the United States
He could've wiped Iran in his wildest dreams...
OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH MY MULLAH FRIEND!!
Who are you to wipe off Iran from the map
Carter criticized the Shah left and right about “human right” in Iran. He never mentioned human right in Saudi Arabia.
What a joke.
Neither does trump
HelloMoto
Trump is not considered as human right fighter!
Saudi Arabia was not a world player - the Shah wanted Iran to be considered a first world nation and rival EU and North America. That is why he was held to a higher standard. Do you even know the history of the period or just pick up on a key word?
@@mediterraneanworld
No, I don’t know anything about that period of time. I just saw Carter picture which was as handsome as Brad Pit and I said to myself:
Well I don’t know this man, I am not Iranian, I was not born in Tehran, North part of Shemiran, Saltanat Abad Street. I didn’t go to school in Iran since 1973, I don’t Speak Farsi at all, I didn’t listen and watch Shah on Iranian national TV, News in 70s, I didn’t witnessed the Islamic Revolution on street in 1978 , I didn’t witnessed when Shah left the country with tears in his eyes, I didn’t see stupidity of people cheering for Khomeni, I didn’t witnessed the 8 years war between Iran and Irak, I didn’t see my friend was blown up on mine field and her mother was crying going crazy, because his body couldn’t be even recognized, I didn’t...
Yet I decided to comment about Carter just because he was as handsome as Brad Pit and because I didn’t know anything about the history of my country.
Yep you are right.
Now, do you know the history of Kotlet?
@@mediterraneanworld Absolute nonsense, even to this day they don't criticize Saudi Arabia nor Qatar nor UAE. In Qatar alone, 3000 workers died for the World Cup, In fact. the so called first world nations have committed far more atrocities at a global stage than Shah could have ever done. "Do you even know the history of the period or just pick up on a key word?"
Indeed Jimmy Carter could Have done so ! !
We were fully Trained and on our way one day on C-130's !!!
I know this all to well from Nov 10th through Dec 12 we had been in through Intensive desert training at Ft Erwin as the 3rd Brigade Task Force. Awesome multinational Military US forces combined Training for the IRAN CRISIS !
IT WAS SPECTACULAR what all I saw during the whole thing !
We had US Air Forces A10 Wart Hogs, C-130's, B-52's dropping bombs in the Valley floor that was truly spectacular visual on the whole event and their fly over us way up high over the Peak just barely above us zooming by us waiving back at us one by one and then the reports of the Bombs dropping was amazing as the earth shook below our feet feeling the after effects of tons & Tons of Bombs being dropped.
Then the CIC called us to duty one day suddenly and when we were trucked back to the Base we saw all the C-130's waiting on us to get packed up to leave for the war in IRAN ! ! !
We were thus also given a short period time to call up loved ones for we were indeed leaving ! I remember it all too well and I could not get an answer to my wife at home at Ft. Carson, Colorado so I called my father & Shared with him whats happening ! I i failed to come home alive that he see;s to make sure my family is doing fine.
That was one hell of a day ! ! !
It indeed was called off later eve while in flight to S. Carolina where we would departure for an un declassed country near the Iran.
Its really Awesome when the flight is called off and you feel the C130 making a hard left turn back. CONFIRMATION ! ! Its an Awesome feeling !

into the valley of death rode the 600! Thank god for our servicemen and women! Until such time as the world lives in peace we desperately need our military. They keep us from the precipice. They should all be in our thoughts and prayers, especially those who are at the tip of the spear. Thank you a thousand times! Thank you for your story.

This is most heart felt in my soul what you shared here. It was a privilege to give 12 years my life as a soldier even though I was a better soldier of Gods love then a Soldier of War. But, I did both and it helped me to need Gods love through it the more ! Being a husband & father learned me even more :-) Indeed life as a soldier is a tough one !
Even a fellow soldier can be as vicious as a real front line enemy at times too. Yes my blood was shed, but God used it that they would change what got into them that was evil. I had to learn to ask God to forgive me the hate I felt towards them first and then forgive the persons even in person. It was heart felt to see another humble themselves asking for forgiveness. Of course I forgave them. The toughest thing I ever faced was my enemy forgiving them !
Not some thing we soldiers can do on the real battle field. I was a Vietnam era trained soldier Jul73. But got to S. Korea just as the last of the troops leaving Vietnam. Yet their i was with CIA in military Uniform on the Army's Greatest kept secret back then.4th USA ARMY MISSILE COMMAND just South of The DMZ between N & South Korea's. To understand it you can go to a video called Jesus IS Just Alright, by the Doobie brothers music. Below where I talk to share my experience their you can get a realistic since of what little we have to look forward to after we had to shoot some missiles up to N. Korea back then to keep them from coming down again since the war was never terminated from the Korean war. That was the one experience I share for others to understand how precious life is and as well to be ready to go home to heaven any given second. Jesus is just alright was the music I was learning from back then about Gods love. I also had a child hood death Experience I never shared with my parents too that was seeds for me to remember by :-) Thank you again as you're heart is pure of Gods love in you Holy Spirit with you :-) Amen... Blessings always dear Sister in Jesus Christ. Most effectual & Fervently, Michael
Nice story there but did you ever find out where your wife was that day not answering the phone?🧐😉🤣
Every iranian american in this comment section cussing out Carter is amazing 🇺🇲
What a shame. He doesn't mention how turning a blind eye to Shah's regime's brutalities and abuses precipitated the revolution in the first place, and now he gives the sanctimonious talk about how he just didn't want to kill innocent people.
Carter is a man of Faith and honesty. He couldn’t be bought by the lobbies, so they played that trick on him. George Walker Bush arranged for the hostages to be released AFTER the US elections, so Carter could NOT take credit for them and consequently be less popular than his opponent Reagan. Irán had already agreed to release the hostages towards the end of Carter’s presidency. I love Reagan as a person and an actor, but he was a YES MAN, in the hands of the ones that didn’t want peace in the region. I hope one day, history will give President Carter the credit he deserves. Peace!
Reagan did do his best to give jimmy the credit though. He event sent Jimmy instead of going himself
@@fawkewe Going where
The reason Carter didn't wipe off Iran off the map is that his he knew or he was told that his Arab friends would be wiped off as well . This situation is true today .
From his presidency to present, I consider him a WEAKLING.
Spoken like a strongling.
Did you witness of how he handled the Iran crisis during his term? I said he is a weakling because of his indecisiveness during the crisis.
I have never been as proud of an American president in my lifetime. Or as grateful for the opportunity to cast my first two ballots for him. Subsequent history has demonstrated that it is easy to destroy but painstaking to build and nurture. President Jimmy Carters lifetime is a testament to human rights, decency and service coinciding with moral uprightness. May God bless him and Mrs. Carter.
Are you kidding me ?
@@dougtheviking6503 No.
You are a certified idiot
@@TangledUpInBlue631Carter, in large part, is the very reason for the betrayal of the Shah and the replacement of Ayatollah Khomeini. His handling of Iran was terrible, and resulted in not only losing a powerful friend in a crucial region, but creating a great enemy and the over 4 decades of brutal oppression of Iranians.
@TangledUpInBlue631 You must of been privileged during those times . My Daddy & mother did whatever they could to get buy . He screwed this country more than one way . Sure was a nice fella, though .
Its like Jordan saying I could of Dunked on a baby if I wanted.
Would he be wrong
@@K-Dot94 yes 😂
Exactly
@@BigWilt2000 jordn couldnt have dunked on a baby? Idk about that
He stabbed the shah in the back as he raised the price of the oil up after America as Americans do.... government!! Do what they always think they can and want to
Do...
Carter established diplomatic relation with PRC, handed Canal back to Panama. But, if he shake hand with Castro, he won't be able to finish his first and only term.
That first one was Nixon.
With my apology to American people, I never ever hated anyone as I hate Carter. All the world live in the insecurity, because of his cruelness in 1979. He was a great lier and betrayed the late Shah. I am proud of all American polititions and celebraties who were against of his devil politics at that time. God bless all of them. They showed me there is niceness, kindness and humanity in west. I don't know why I saw this video, since I close the browser when i notice any video or picture of Carter.
He should be tried for crime against humanity for his hand in bringing mullas and getting rid of shah.
Jimmy Carter is certainly one of the modern U.S. Presidents I have high regards for. Despite having a military background he is basically a humanist, even a moralist to some extant.
But he was unlucky to run into not just another moralist but also a dedicated spiritualist too, in the shape of the Iranian Ayatullah.
If not for this hard fact, Carter would have easily got his well-deserved second term ! Still, by hindsight, he merits our true respect ! !
You don't had the capacity to wipe Iran out of map.Mark my words
More like he didnt want to start ww3
Carter: I could have wiped out Iran off the map, but I hadn't been able to locate it on the map.
He was a good president.the history will be kind to him .
i see the puppet can talk for itself lmfao
HE IS A FOOL,I NEVER TAUGHT HE WAS GOING TO SAY THIS, WHEN HE LOST ,IN A HUMILIATING RESCUE ATTEMPT !!!
What exactly was it that he said that you don't like?
As if you didn't cause enough trouble in Iran!
So why he brought Khomeini in Iran and started the Iran_Iraq war???????
Ikr
War is much easy and peace involves huge intelligence,intellect ,wisodm ,strategy and good people .
A famouse proverb, " Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
But when the same power is given to ,Highly intelligent,person of wisdom ,Idea ,sensible and empathy and person of peace the same power becomes a powerful tool .
Who has the power ?
Mr Carter Respect for You .
American love war and chaos and crisis and trust me I see hell lot of similarities with Germany in world war and America same idea and same thinking
We need good people in power not people who are planning chaos .
Thank God he was peaceful. Great example. We love him.
R u fking kidding? Peaceful? Huh?
LOL
What kind of piece he achieved that we don't know about. He caused world the worst problems until now it cant be eradicated. He brought Islamic radical to govern Iran, and thousands of youth had been executed for lack of human rights and freedom. Carter should have never been a president, farming was better for him.
