I’m getting the idea that the Iranian people are NOT going to take back the country.

I am afraid you may be right. When an unarmed populace tried once, without guns, over 30,000 were killed. I don’t see any mass uprisings lately after the few celebrations the first couple days.

Without guns, I don’t think the general population can count on the government being overthrown by majority vote in the IRGC.

It’s up to them. The goal is to make it so that Iran can never make war again

You’ve got to figure that there have got to be hundreds of thousands in the Iranian military whose fate and well-being are tied to the continuity of the state.

The idea that we can uproot the Islamic terrorist regime without boots on the ground is ridiculous. And I can assure you that the American people have zero appetite for yet another Middle Eastern ground war.

President Trump saying the war has already been won (as he did on Friday) was wildly off the mark.
