Enco,
I think Iran war is to point of no return. Agree completely regarding its execution. However, at this point if A & I (see what i did there?) declare victory and allow the regime to remain in power I think it is going to be a blood bath of historical note.
The most religious fanatics will be in power and the fear of losing power will cause the most wanton “crackdown” imaginable. And if it goes that way and power is restored they are coming after the big and little Satan hard. If China or North Korea gives the “right” weapons it might not take too long.
We have the elements for a successful revolution in place. The degradation of their military is underway. The hatred by the majority of Islamic Iran. Disaffected minorities. Kurds with military know how. And when the populace feels like it has nothing to lose the forces opposing can overwhelm the loyalists. They need organization. They need weapons. They need A & I air support which is a major factor in aiding the cause. They need intelligence which A & I can give. And maybe a few thousand boots on the ground to orchestrate the revolution.
If and when Islamic Republic is defanged and replaced by a democracy or even monarchy with secular grounding the middle east will have been utterly transformed. And i assume the people trapped in that Islamic hell hole will tell their stories and discredit the lefty pieces of human dogshit. And maybe, just maybe we can get back to a semblance of humanitarian ethics.
