It is completely unclear what these numpties think “regime change” even means (it seems to me that they don’t either).
Does it mean taking out a prominent leader (who was 86 and likely to die soon anyway), or the wholesale replacement of the entire government structure? The first doesn’t change the country much at all… Khamenei didn’t slaughter thousands of protesters with his own hands, his underlings are quite capable of staying on course. The second means reinventing government from the ground up, on the fly, by inexperienced people, leaving the nation vulnerable to the risk of a takeover to radical partisans… which is how the people of Iran ended up in the current pickle to begin with.

@DavidM_yeg projecting an #affect and a #feeling, #virturesignaling to idiots and white nationalists, posturing power, is what it is all about. This is our first generation of leaders elected by #socialmedia and their relationship to reality is quite variable. Let's just start calling this era what it is, unthought or accidental #napoleonic times. The goals are obviously #glory. But we can still hope for a better future for long suffering #Iran and maybe a breakthrough in #ukraine? Idk, maybe.

@DavidM_yeg it means taking out old dictator and replace him with his younger son who is even worse.
