  1. Trump talks regime change in Iran after strikes, but history shows that could be very hard

    AP: Barely an hour after the first U.S. and Israeli missiles struck Iran, President Donald Trump made clear he hoped for regime change.
    Doesn’t sound complicated. After all, with Iran’s fundamentally unpopular government weakened by fierce airstrikes, some of its top leaders dead or missing and Washington signaling support, how hard could it be to overthrow a repressive regime?
    Washington has a long, complicated past when it comes to regime change. There was Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s, and Panama in 1989. There was Nicaragua in the 1980s, Iraq and Afghanistan in the years after 9/11, and Venezuela just weeks ago.
    Attempts to usher in U.S.-friendly governments often start with clear intentions, whether hope for democracy in Iraq or backing an anti-Communist leader in Congo at the Cold War’s height. But often those intentions stumble into a political quagmire where democratic dreams turn into civil war, once-compliant dictators become embarrassments and American soldiers return home in body bags. -- nordy

    1. One major problem is that neither Trump nor Hegseth has ever opened a history book, and wouldn't have the intelligence to read one if they did.

      God help us, Nordy, what are we going to do? The world hated us before. Now the world is openly and, quite rightly in my view, rooting for Iran. Everyone knows Netanyahu is leading Trump around by the nose. He's skedaddled to Berlin, by the way. He's not going to sit around waiting for Iran to bomb Israel. Gotta save his worthless skin.

      I'm just sick. As if we don't have enough Trumpism here at home.
