US Vice President JD Vance held a tense phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week, in which he chided the premier for making overly optimistic predictions about the war in Iran, Axios reports.
Vance took Netanyahu to task over how likely the latter said regime change would be, the outlet reported.
“Before the war, Bibi really sold it to the president as being easy, as regime change being a lot likelier than it was. And the VP was clear-eyed about some of those statements,” a US official tells Axios, using Netanyahu’s nickname.

I don't know what else can be done except regime change.
Just kill everyone remotely attached to the old regime.

Might have been a lot easier if those 30,000 to 60,000 protestors killed by the regime were still alive.
Had we not induced them to protest before we had our attack ready, they might still be alive. Trump should have made it clear that our attack would be coming in weeks, instead of leaving the impression that it would happen immediately.

Rubio is looking for like a statesman.
Vance is an empty suit.

““Before the war, Bibi really sold it to the president as being easy, as regime change being a lot likelier than it was.”
Embarrassing if true. Basically that would be the administration whining that “Bibi was wrong”, “we thought it would all go just as he said”.
IF true, that would be a very childish defense for any American administration to make.

If we were relying on Israeli representations as to the possibility of regime change in Iran, then we were fools.
But that is an "if", though.

Absolutely.

*Assuming* that 30k to 60k story is true. Remember there was a massive amount of “fake it till you make it” propaganda everywhere that the Israelis admit to orchestrating. A huge effort to fluff up the Shah’s son was pushed everywhere. The atomic bomb threat became the missile threat...
Like all wars, this one came with a bunch of lies and propaganda.

Likewise, the Iranian propaganda has been epic. It’s actually near impossible for any of us to know the truth here. But it won’t come from DC, Tel Aviv, or Tehran....
All are equally deceitful.

It's actually the other way around.
Rubio is "an errand boy ... sent by grocery clerks to collect a bill."
His career as a credible political figure ended at this moment in 2016:
'There it is -- the memorized 25-second speech!'
That is the personification of an empty suit.

Regime change is NEVER easy, unless you kill off their entire leadership which can as we can see, easily replaced with other cockroaches..you cant have regime change without boots on the ground which is OUT OF THE QUESTION
