In this case, my question is "who will take over in Iran"? Best case, it's the people celebrating in the streets. Worst case, it's another radical cleric and/or leader of the Revolutionary Guard. We don't know that answer. I don't think we really have a clue. It seems someone has thought that far ahead, or at least we haven't seen any evidence of it so far.
Someone has thought that through. You guys never really understood what happened in Venezuela.
Best case: The Iranian people overthrow the Mullahs and establish any kind of other government.
Worst case: The Mullahs stay in charge.
Worst part of the best case? The new government isn't super friendly to the US (unlikely).
Best part of the wrost case? The Mullahs' military and industry warmaking capabilities are severely degrades and will tkae years to rebuild.
You guys are all in on Ukraine/Putin. Hilariously, nobody seems to be stopping and thinking what happens when we bomb the Shahed factories and storage areas.
And I still question the legality of it, given Congress' actions to revoke such authority (I think last summer). In which case, all the generals/admirals that obeyed those orders were obeying illegal orders.
Yeah, not really. The War Powers Act has entered the chat.
