Pushing ‘Regime Change’

+++Today is my chemo day so this will be the last offering I post for afterwards all I want to do is lay down and sleep for the next couple of days….hopefully all will be back to normal soon….I shall check back in on my phone from time to time….thanx for understanding+++

Just a short history lesson to soothe your day.

We all know, by now, that Israel is attacking Iran and Iran is retaliating….this is something Israel has wanted for decades and could never get the pizazz from Congress to get it done…..then along came Little Donny and BiBi found a lunatic that he could bribe into assistance.

For as long as most Americans can remember the GOP, especially the war hawks, have been pushing the idea of regime change for Iran….many wanted the US to attack and others were hoping for a more peaceful transition….

It all began in 1953 when Iran elected a new PM with policies that US/UK did not agree with so they put together a plan for regime change….but there is a short summation of the events from 1953….

Oil fields: In 1953, the US helped stage a coup to overthrow Iran’s democratically elected prime minister Mohammad Mossadegh.

He had pledged to nationalize the country’s oil fields – a move the US and Great Britain saw as a serious blow, given their dependence on oil from the Middle East.

Height of the Cold War: The move to nationalize was seen as popular in Iran and a victory for the then-USSR.

Strengthen Shah rule: The coup’s goal was to support Iran’s monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, to rule as Shah of Iran, and appoint a new prime minister, Gen. Fazlollah Zahedi.

The coup: Before the coup, the CIA, along with the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), helped foment anti-Mossadegh fervor using propaganda. In 1953, the CIA and SIS helped pull pro-Shah forces together and organized large protests against Mossadegh, which were soon joined by the army.

US cash: To provide Zahedi, the country’s new prime minister, with some stability, the CIA covertly made $5,000,000 available within two days of him taking power, documents showed.

US acknowledgement: In 2013, declassified CIA documents were released, confirming the agency’s involvement for the first time. But the US role was known: Former President Barack Obama acknowledged involvement in the coup in 2009.

It backfired: After toppling Mossadegh, the US strengthened its support for Pahlavi to rule as Shah. Iranians resented the foreign interference, fueling anti-American sentiment in the country for decades.

Islamic Revolution: The Shah became a close ally of the US. But in the late 1970s, millions of Iranians took to the streets against his regime, which they viewed as corrupt and illegitimate. Secular protesters opposed his authoritarianism, while Islamist protesters opposed his modernization agenda.

The Shah was toppled in the 1979 Islamic revolution, which ended the country’s Western-backed monarchy and ushered in the start of the Islamic Republic and clerical rule.

As you can see, if you bothered to read the summary, there is little that is new when it comes to Iran.

Iran was not an isolated case of regime change that turned out horribly….think Chile in the 1970s.

What’s the old saying?  “those that do not remember history are destined to repeat it”

Here we go again!

Idiots at the wheel will lead to nothing good.

Two Weeks And Counting

For decades Israel has stoked the fires of war with Iran and using their, Iran, desire for a nuclear bomb….and each presidency and the MSM have been fanning that myth since 1992….

The West has happily regurgitated claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was forced to act because Iran was on the cusp of producing a nuclear bomb – an entirely evidence-free claim he has been making since 1992.

Even that idiot Donny’s DNI, Gabbard, has stated…. Tulsi Gabbard, had expressly stated as part of the US intelligence community’s annual assessment: “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader [Ali] Khameini has not authorized a nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”

Think about that for a moment….since 1992 and they still did not have a nuke….no one serious works that slowly.

Let’s move on to today’s fiasco….

It has been a point of contention whether the US should join Israel in their destruction of Iran….and now we may have an answer to that question….

President Trump said in a statement released by the White House on Thursday that he will make a decision on whether or not to directly enter the Israel-Iran war by launching airstrikes within two weeks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read the statement at a press briefing. “Based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place in the near future, I will make my decision of whether or not to go within the next two weeks,” she said.

When asked what Trump’s demands were for a diplomatic solution with Iran, Leavitt said Tehran must give up its nuclear enrichment program, a condition Tehran has made clear is a non-starter. Iranian officials have also said they’re not willing to negotiate while Israel is attacking Iran.

Reuters reported on Thursday that US envoy Steve Witkoff has spoken by phone with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi several times since Israel launched the war last week. Diplomats said that Aragchi’s message was that Iran could return to nuclear negotiations and “show flexibility” but only if Israel’s attacks come to an end.

The statement from Trump regarding the timeline on his decision came after The Wall Street Journal reported that the president has approved plans to attack Iran but is waiting to give the final order.

Let’s say that mentally challenged bozo in charge goes full in on the idea to join Israel in this conflict we could be looking at a huge problem….

The Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has told US officials that in order to destroy Iran’s Fordow nuclear plant, which is buried deep underground, the US may need to drop a nuclear weapon, The Guardian has reported.

According to the report, Pentagon officials who received the briefing were told that dropping GBU-57s, conventional 30,000-pound bunker-busting bombs, would not penetrate deep enough underground and that it would only do enough damage to collapse tunnels and bury the facility under rubble.

The officials were told that in order to destroy Fordow completely, the US would likely need to first soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear weapon from a B2 bomber.

The report said that President Trump is not considering using a nuclear weapon and that the option was not presented to him by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. According to a report from Axios, Trump is casting doubt on the idea that the GBU-57s could do enough damage to destroy the facility.

Israel wants the US to drop the bunker-busting bombs on Fordow since it lacks the capability, but so far, Trump has not given the order for US airstrikes on Iran. The president said on Thursday that he would decide within two weeks, although there are indications that attacks could begin this weekend.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched the war and the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities over claims that Iran was seeking a nuclear weapon, but that was contradicted by both US intelligence and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which have said there’s no evidence Tehran had made the decision to pursue a nuclear bomb.

I have no confidence that this is completely off the table with Donny and his band of incompetents.

As scary as that thought is there is a telling part of that memo….”Israel wants the US to drop the bunker-busting bombs on Fordow since it lacks the capability”

There you go Israel does not have the means without the US….then ask yourself if that is true why would they start a war they could not finish?

That says it all and yet most people will glaze over this completely in their blind support of a murderous entity….and for what reason?

There is so much more to this than good guys and bad guys….the future of the region is at stake….and the peasants watch TikTok.
