Yes - and if we don’t filling it with infrastructure and economic support China will be standing there with a open checkbook willing to fund what they need to

Yes, to be filled with a pro-western leader.

the question is, how old are you?

And do you truly understand what the IRGC was?

Iran was a worst-case scenario. Brutal oppressive regime, 100% hostile to the US on a fundamental level. Their entire mission in life is to stamp out Western civilization.
They allied with Russia, China, and North Korea internationally, despite having zero common ground... other than they all hate us and our culture of freedom.
Even total chaos would be better, because while that could also ferment terrorism, it wouldn't have the backing of an organized state to promote and spread it.

how does that work when the US changes presidencies and its international policy 4-8 years?

"open checkbook" to Iran of all places, while US citizens struggle? how does that look back at home?

naive national building itt. bombing a shite hole isnt the same as nation building

No. I mean we get rid of this one and I'd everything goes wrong and we get the worst case scenario we end up with a brutal regime that kills teens of thousands of its citizens to stay in power, wants to build nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

They also could expert terrorism throughout the area and destabilize the entire Middle East...

Oh, we have that already.

These are not stand Arabs. These are Persians.

They want a sectarian government like they used to have. They had that before this brutal regime came into power.

A pert vacuum only exists if all organization of government is gotten rid of. If the igrc is gone there Iranian military is fine enough.

This was a chance that Trump had to take.

Iran has the potential to be the South Korea of that whole region. And they should be. They are an economic powder keg with the right leadership.

Yes. The brain power here has forgotten what happened after the US over threw Saddam.

Does he wish to return though, or could he be convinced to do so? If memory doesn't fail me on the subject, it seems i remember him being reticent.

Liberation of the public is such a crock of shite.
Governments don’t care about their own public much less a foreign public that it’s overthrowing.
This has to do with minerals and positioning in the Middle East.

The Crown Prince is a fricken clown.

He is not a viable option. He is not a serious man.

Obama was worse than the supposed next hitter we didn’t know.

So no, changing leaders isn’t always bad.

Iran, unlike Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. I'm hoping will manage better, due to their previous, pro-western views and ideals. We'll see I guess, the US does great at ousting, but not a great track record after.
