You have no idea who I am, nor how my extended family has suffered at the hands of the murderous , corrupt fanatics who started the "Islamic Revolution" and hold Iran in their grip. Few things would make me happier than to see them gone. One of my closest friends was murdered by a Hezbollah "martyr" while serving his time in the Israeli army. I have only hatred for that regime, believe me.
And I guarantee you I've spent more time in the Middle East than you have, unless you served at least four full tours deployed in that area.

But none of that means that I believe that there's a coherent strategy in place inside this administration for what happens next. Iran is a country of 90 million people, only about 60 percent of whom are ethnically Persian. It's a melting pot of many cultures, religions, and loyalties. It's also a country with a vast security apparatus -- there are over one million members of the Basenji, which given your extensive experience I'm sure you're familiar with. Anyone who thinks that the Iranian military and security state will simply "hand over their weapons to the people" (to quote Trump) is utterly delusional. What is the endgame here? Civil war is a very, very real possibility, as is the chances of more hard-line factions taking control. Are we prepared to invade Iran? That'd make Iraq look like Panama. There is no endgame -- there is no clear strategy -- and I have zero confidence that this administration has any plans for what happens beyond next week.

I don't see any posts from you, either. This isn't a political forum, after all, which is why you don't see me posting what you suggest.

It's funny how you think the fact I'm junior to you is somehow an insult or a statement that lends credence to your blathering.
