How to support Iranian regime change without putting ourselves at risk?


I would like to know how to actively support regime change in Iran right now, such as by donating a small amount of money, and without putting myself at risk. Every Iranian I've ever spoken with has waited for this for years, and Iran has been a persistent threat to America, with new plans to build devastating weapons to hurt America. The current regime chants Death to America every day (literally, it's like a slogan for them.) How can I support regime change directly?

What sort of risk are you worried about? You're welcome to send a small amount of money to the US federal government.

How has Iran been a threat to America? Harsh words?

It's disappointing to see that somebody can get this far in a tech career and have such naïveté.

Every industrial power of every faction and alignment builds "devastating weapons" to hurt their immediate neighbours as a defensive strategy, in order to make attacking them too risky. It's the equivalent of a hedgehog's spines and there isn't an industrial country without them.

Slogans, meanwhile, are just bluffs (lies) to hype up the populace, regardless of who makes them.

These facts apply to every side of every geopolitical dispute in human history. Consider this diagram: http://i.imgur.com/IwCXBXY.jpg
