After polishing off Syria’s Assad, US has open road to Iranian regime change.

 

After the 911 attacks the US war party responded by declaring all out regime change on Middle East countries it deemed a threat to the Homeland.

 

Their coveted prize was the despised Iran, a potential hegemon rival to America’s revered allay Israel. America couldn’t realistically start off attacking large, powerful Iran or change out its hated regime. So it embarked on a multi country regime change tour, saving Iran for best and last.

 

America kicked off its Excellent Regime Change Tour by invading Afghanistan shortly after the September, 2001 attacks. The Taliban fell within weeks, But 20 years, several trillion in US treasure, 2,400 US soldiers killed and tens of thousands of injured later, the Taliban marched back to power after a humiliating US exit.

 

Next up was Iraq, invaded in March, 2003 under false pretenses that would have made Hitler proud. But the entire US media went along with this grotesque made up war which killed hundreds thousands including over 4,500 Americans.

 

Don’t forget America’s grisly regime change imposed on Libya’s strongman Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The US led a NATO offensive (from an ostensibly defensive alliance) to depose the hated Gaddafi. When Gaddafi was sodomized with a bayonet, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton laughingly gloried ‘We came, we saw…he died.” All the US accomplished was turning Libya into a chaotic, failed state for the past 13 years.

 

In 2017 US General Wesley Clark, who led the US destruction of Serbia in the 90's, summarized a Pentagon meeting on regime change thusly:

“This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”

 

It’s taking a tad longer than the US war party promised, but with Syria handed over to Jihadist terrorist Abu Mohammad al-Julani, the final regime change prize of Iran is in sight.

 

Incoming President Trump is a dedicated Iran hater who nearly stumbled into war with Iran during his presidency. Drafting his war cabinet from the ‘Get Iran’ farm team is not a hopeful sign for peace next year. But saving America’s most powerful Middle East regime change target could backfire spectacularly as Iran poses an immense threat to thousands of US troops in the region.

 

The US war party may be ecstatic about adding Iran to its regime change belt, but should ponder that wise aphorism, ‘Be careful what you covet… you just might get it.’
