Regime Change in Occupied Palestine (Israel) should be the goal.

Wow... Rogers with the big story; I wondered who had posted it when I saw the listing.

I just have to say that, until now I wasn't sold on offing Big K, but since Vlad is against it, odds are I'm for it. I just wish I knew that the People of Iran, who have protested their Gov as best they could under an Authoritarian Regime, would take control of the country... but there are other bad and worse players that would likely still be in charge.

The Middle East is an insane asylum with nukes (Israel). We should be doing what we can to stay far, far away.

Regime Change in Iran 'Unacceptable', Says the Kremlin

TACO Trump sticks his head out from under the sheets and nods in agreement, right before Putin shoves his head back down.

Iraq, Syria, occasionally Lebanon and now Iran.

Europeans are on a violent rampage.

All this "regime change" talk brings to mind the unpleasant reality that for all of its firepower and endless bombast, the American military, conventional wisdom aside, has a decidedly patchy post-1945 record.

I'd like to see regime change in America and Russia, the sooner the better.

Well, if one knows the history of American involvement in the Middle East, especially how our CIA destroyed the growing Iranian democracy and installed a brutal thug, the Shah of Iran, one knows we broke it, we own it, and the utter insanity that is about to unfold. en.wikipedia.org
I miss Jimmy Carter and his willingness to try hold hope high.
