I suspect this is even worse. If these idiots succeed at forcing an externally imposed regime change, Iran (a country of 90 million people) might go the way of Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, i.e., total fucking chaos for at least a decade if not more. If you thought Daesh and the refugee crisis was bad, just you fucking wait.
And this all happened while the Iranians were supposedly negotiating with the US. Why should anyone ever negotiate with the West ever again if it is just a stalling tactic until you get stabbed in the back? So not only is this a collapse of international law, it is even collapse of the basic capacity for international diplomacy. And it does send a hugely hugely strong message to the Saudis, the Turks, the Emiratis, basically anyone and everyone: get nukes asap, see what happened to Iran?.
Not to mention that the Israelis are causing US imperial over-extension, when the US fascist right (Bannon, MTG, etc) are already distancing themselves from zionists. So who do you think the fascists will blame for US decline once immigrants and democrats are no longer adequate scapegoats? Who is always the scapegoat of last resort for the fascists?
The 20th century was monstrous. Well, fellow monkeys, welcome to the 21st…
20 years in Afghanistan brought a regime change from Taliban to worse Taliban and cost trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives.
Changing Iran from mullahs to worse mullahs will be in the same ballpark.
Yes but, think about all those military contractors that got rich.
