Donald Trump's provocative suggestion of regime change in Iran alongside his call to "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN" raises significant concerns about the implications of such actions. The term 'regime change' is fraught with historical failures, particularly noted by Michael Anton, who highlighted that past interventions, while successful in overthrowing regimes, often resulted in governments far from democratic. This tumultuous history of forceful governmental transformations warns against oversimplified narratives of achieving peace through military means, particularly as Trump shifts his stance on military actions in the region.
"Regimes were changed all right, but not into democracies, and some of them-e.g., the one in Afghanistan-20 years later changed back to the same regime American firepower had overthrown in 2001."
"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change??? MIGA!!!"
