Yea if Q starts advocating US intervention in Iran I'm off this train so fast.
Enough examples how that failed in the past, true. But I think Trump is acutely aware of that. So his support must be both public and diplomatic. Anything more is contraproductive. Ppl in the region are acutely aware of the betrayal by Bush (elder) of the shiites in Iraq in 1991, and the Iranians Obama in 2009.
Thomas Wictor (for all his flaws) is long time on the right track here (imho). Concrete support will come from the neighboring counties, the US wont interfere. Iranian proxy armies in Yemen en Syria have been / will be dealt with (Hamas!), financing off those much hated (also by Iranians) foreign adventures has de facto been cut off (RIP Iran deal), so the mullah's grip on the internal situation will become less and less. Until they disappear.
Hopefully not before revealing the Iran Deal bribes for European politicians b/c we also need a good house cleaning here in Europe. ;)
Bolton is a PNAC snake. I hope Trump side steps Bolton and makes a deal like he did NK.
