[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regime change takes a long time. It'll be hugely expensive and require a solid commitment to the country. It needs a serious, focused leader.

In other words, I think this is going to be a show of force, Trump's going to claim some sort of victory, and then it's going to be old news in a couple of weeks. As for the president, he'll be on to the shiny distraction elsewhere. Maybe in Greenland with those "medical ships." Who knows.

I mean, it was only Jan. 3 that the Trump department overthrew the Venezuela leadership, claimed a victory, but left the country mostly unchanged. At one point, Rubio was going to be leading Venezuela. Remember that?

And here we are, already doing another regime change when the last attempt was just a few weeks ago and did nothing. [/quote]

I agree with all of this. I’ll also note that the US record on regime change is pretty bad, specifically in Iran. We fomented a coup to install our guy. When our guy was overthrown we got the current Iranian regime, which is terrible. But considering how well our meddling went last time maybe we aren’t the poster child for regime change.[/quote]
