    even better- be against “regime change” bombing and “defensive preemptive strike” lies too. even with no civilian deaths it’s still dumb as shit.

      Even if there’s a change in regime, the likelihood that it will be for the better is slim. The crazy dictator will just be replaced with some other crazy dictator.

        Iirc, the crazy dictator they’ve got is already a result of foreign interference in the first place. I might be thinking of Pakistan, or maybe it’s both.

        They don’t have a plan. This cut the head of the snake strategy never works. It hasn’t worked on stopping organised crime or terrorist groups. When you murder someone they are rarely replaced by someone more moderate.

        • That is the plan. You keep the region in chaos, and it “justifies” you being forever involved. The dictatorship in Iran is there because of a US/UK instigated coup. And a few decades from now, they’ll still be using whatever comes out of this was as justification for the next. And then, like now, they’ll blame it on anything but themselves.
