The British tried to understand and capture the dynamics of the Middle East for decades and they never got the combination right. I think I’m going to watch “Lawrence of Arabia” again just as a reminder that we need to evaluate strategies very carefully.
Now go even further back and the US causing Regime Change in Iran is what led to the Iranian Revolution that gave the world the current Iranian Regime.
Afghanistan was on the very doorstep of actually working. The ball was inside the 1 yard line on 1st down. So we punted away in order to fuck up Iraq and kill 10’s of thousands more people for 20 years.
Oh we need a regime change alright. IN THE USA.
Sure, but with Republicans in charge, why quit when you’re behind?
Republicans ♥️ war. Any weapons that shoot make them wet. Warmongery rakes in a gazillion $$$ that go to the relatively untaxed greedy. War debt shuts down the voices of citizens in need, in the dawn and dusk and shadows of life.
With George W Bush having put the Ayatollah of Iran in charge of Iraq with HIS “regime change,” is this Republican Administration going to put the wild-eyed Revolutionary Guard in charge of Iran with another regime change?!
Ha... Don't forget we fucked Iran over and installed the Ayatollah, initially.
We supported the Shah and his Pahlavi dynasty. Iran replaced us and him with the Ayatollah Khomeini because of the brutality and corruption of the Shah, supported by the US.
What?! History (think 20 years ago, ffs) is repeating itself?
Libya is now used to house US concentration camps just as El Salvador has
Well, let’s not forget tRump is God’s gift to us and he can make it happen. [Entirely sarcasm.]
so, the odds aren't exactly in our favor. what about a regime change in the USA? I think we have a good chance of pulling it off.
Christians initiating Islamic regime change...I wonder why it hasn't worked? Maybe they don't have a fucking clue what these people need or want?

Ugh I’m so mad the war isn’t getting more destructive. Now I can’t criticize Trump as much for it. Anyway… back to ICE and how Trump is a fascist for deporting illegal immigrants
Embarrassing facts
So, what could go wrong?!🤪
Now, the USA did the same mistake every time since WWII - pulling out before reaching the climax and being assured by that cheating bint that she had the greatest sex ever.
Regime change in Iran in 1953 was run by our CIA to topple a democratically elected government there and to reinstall the Shah. Also didn’t ultimately go our way.
It’s the war that never ends, It just goes round and round my friends, some people started bombing a foolish thing to do, so fools just keep on bombing saying that they are protecting you Oh It’s the war that never ends…
Iran didn’t go our way either. Anyone remember the Shah? The taking of American hostages not only brought us Ronald Reagan, but it also brought us Nightline by ABC News
Usa needs to stop messing with other countries We should not be involved in this war
We've never had a regime change in any region work out the way the US plans them. CASTRO is a great example!
Its different this time jd Vance says we had dumb presidents.... for the last 25 years... its a good thing Trump can't do word problems...
You can chalk this up to NOT BEING ABLE TO FUCKING LEARN
We need a regime change in this country
If this cease fire holds, all you'll hear from maga is "Peace thru strength" and how much of a genius Trump is.
Our post-WWII 20-some overt/covert regime change successes and failures since WWII have left an abysmal record which uniformly gives the lie to the values we espouse. We can do better. After Trump and the GOP are gone.
Syria.
Don't forget the classic & original. Our overthrowing of the Iranian elected leader in 1953. That really worked out well for everyone since....😒 doh! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Ir....
We alreadyengineered regime change in Iran during the Cold War to install the much-hated Shah.
🎯
Can we go back to 1979, when Reagan was running for President? He was making backroom deals with the Ayatollah to hold the hostages until after the election, while he criticized Carter for flubbing the hostage crises. 1979 was the year of the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. Coincidence?
this is amazing to hear a member of Congress tell the brutal truth
Iraq and Afghanistan were failures because of immense ignorance and incompetence of American political managers and decision makers. Those countries could become roaring success, if managed properly.
Does anybody remember the Iran Contra scandal. America has done many dirty deeds
This picture... Those guys with rifles are ready to rock. Afghanistan is a hard place to live. We are all so soft. And blissfully ignorant, for the most part.
It is worse than that. The US has orcheatrated regime change attempts in many countries. In 1953 the US overthrew a democratic elected Iranian regime. Numerous attempts have been made in South America. How did it work out?
EXACTLY. NONE of those “regime changes” we engineered changed … the way we hoped. NONE OF THEM.
I reckon he’s missing the one regime we need more than anything.
Willfully ignoring the facts in search of Dramadon’s fantasy fiction.
I’m sick of the Dem “leaders” not doing shit. It’s always Dems like Swalwell, Raskin, Murphy, Schiff, Booker. Warren & Bernie who’re attacking Trump’s deportations & war lingering. showing It’s time to dump Jeffries & Schumer before they blow the Midterms.
leaving Afghanis who helped US soldiers and deporting other ones will certainly help the reputation as well😬
He presses any more buttons? Get your tinfoil hat on Oh wait: Poof Dust Everyone gone. Next?
Trump's 2nd Stolen election is proving more disastrous than his first, now having united Sunnis and Shiites in a common enemy with his bombing of non-nuclear weapons facilities in Iran and killing civilians... And lying about it. youtube.com/shorts/tDP4A...
You destroyed Taliban, huh? Strange that Taliban didn't notice. Last time anyone check they rule over Afghanistan happily ever after. But otherwise, yeah, there is some truthtelling here.
It always comes back around to bite us
You'll have to go back a long long way to find any US-inspired regime chnage that actually worked... Can't even do it right in your own country...
Mission accomplished!
Arrogance needs to be factored in when trying to dictate which regime should be in charge
this exactly and these guys discuss some of that; 52 mins and well worth the time bsky.app/profile/bobb...
Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq are all Muslim countries. Why should they listen to White Christian men how to run their own country and how to practice their own muslin religion. Those countries were colonized by white Christian Europeans in the past.
Maybe it’s because Donald Trump let all of the Taliban out of prison.
Trump is utterly incapable of learning from mistakes.
Don't forget our CIA toppling a democracy in Iran in 1950s bringing in the shah (to satisfy oil barons). That is how the whole thing started. We reap what we have sown.
bsky.app/profile/ianx...
We don't have a good track record when it comes to nation building. We're unwilling to commit the resources necessary, when we cause a change, to see it through to a reasonable, secure and democratic solution. We end-up running out before the job is done. I don't think we go for #4. Leave it be.
You can change the government of Iran. You can end the theocracy. But you cannot erase the sheer hatred the Iranian people have for America. All Trump has done is ensure that future generations of Iranians will seek the downfall of Satan America.
Oh, but THIS one'll be different. The GREAT Lard & Slayer, Lard tramputin is instigating this one! Along with its ALCOHOLIC Defense Sec. kegseth, its F.B.I. Director spam blondie, & Intelligence Director tulsi gabby! What a team, huh!?!?
MAGA logic: "So, you are saying we are due for a win..."
The war profiteers made money.
this guy is no one to follow he votes with maga on occasion
It's all about the oil! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Libya, Iran and Afghanistan are in the same region now. Sure thing my simple American friend. (Guys don't tell him to open a world map, knowing the world is bigger than Texas will blow his mind)
First. People do not read. If they read they do not remember. If they remember they do not understand. If they understand then they do not practice. Moreover, most people are politically brainwashed with fake moronic information than facts. Some are Felon like Felon47
Vietnam,Korea.
Westerners do not understand the culture and try to force their culture there.
But now the media isn't talking about medicare cuts, deportations to 3rd countries without due process, the military in the streets of LA etc - repugs would say that is it going their way.
What's next, this regime to call for Martial Law? Yeah, wait for it. www.yahoo.com/news/terrori...
We are talking Civilizations that have been in the middle eat for thousands of years in their different Forms, and they all had issues with each other… While America still had a thriving First People, before Europeans stepped foot here…
Iraq is still a US ally. So much so it lets the US defend it's airspace.. paving the way for Iran to have many bad days. As bad as Iraq or Libya are nobody wants Saddam or Ghaddafi back.
4 The whole mess in Iran STARTED with regime change forced by the US
Yeah...but the military contractors and the congressman they own got rich...and that's what it's all about for them. The destruction and the human lives don't enter their equations.
Trump is American arrogance on steroids.
The orange goon screwed up Afghanistan before we kicked him out of office the first time. I'm not convinced he legally won. I'm rather disappointed there wasn't a recall.
💯💯💯
Who won all the wars ? The MIC. We peons can FOAD. Get it yet ?
You forgot meddling in Iran in 1953...
The world would be so much more peaceful if there wasn’t any religion fanaticism.
Can't colonize a bunch of people who want you to leave their country
Trump released the Taliban from prison and that put them back in power in Afghanistan.
4th time's the charm? It's too bad that when the US fucks around it's always other people who find out.
lol. Yeah, but all those presidents were dumb - JD Vance
You forgot Iran. Remember the Shah?
Full interview and more from MeidasTouch here: youtu.be/58NLUO4llEA
I’m sure that’s what IRAN is saying. Touché
So, Iran does a trial run, tells CONVICT TRUMP exactly when and where Iran will send missiles, sends a couple-three, Qatar base shoots down, Iran logs and "books" relevant response data of trial run in prep for next time... ...and DONNIE DEMENTIA claims victory. Bonespurs & Co are just dumb.
I think Trump may have gotten away with it ... for now. US drops big bombs. Iran gives warning then shoots small missiles at US base. Importantly, nobody hurt. Unless Trump attacks again, Iran will likely return to trading missiles with Israel.
Wait what? Yeah it went our way if you're part of the military industrial complex, they did very well, some would say, people are saying they propped up the economy.
1/2 Just to remind you: You (the US) engineered the Iranian regime change from growing democracy to full autocracy in 1953 (for the oil). As a result, when the people started revolting in Iran against the US engineered regime change you engineered another one, hindering comunism in Iran
2/2 and enforcing islamism in 1979(for the oil). After that you Engineered the Iran-Iraq war to counter that islamism in Iran (because you lost the oil in Iran and wanted Iraq to get it back for you). While on the same time engineering islamism in Afghanistan in the 1980ies (to fight communism).
We aren't taught this here. The only people that know, are people that know to look down the rabbit hole.
Well it was also in Europe in the conspiracy zone until the CIA released their files.
Turns out it the attack on the US base was a pre-arranged theater to let Iranian regime safe face in front of its own people.

BeeGee Vance
Oh my. That’s so good
Not anymore chaotic than the United States. Such bias. Look in the mirror.
The biggest reason to learn about history is because your life may depend on doing so.
I keep thinking of how well things in Iran have worked out after the CIA got involved in the 50s. BRILLIANT.
The outcome is irrelevant as it's only to enable the industrial war complex to make money, and dump old stock that's past its sell-by date...
Our track record on regime change is not stellar.
Can we get a regime change here in the US? because that's the only regime change I support.
Was about to post something about liberating the USA, but then thought it might sound snarky.
Nov 2024 there was an opportunity for regime change in the US and the US chose unwisely..
Good thing we have, "history to go on!"
Iran 1953 US directed coup gave us 1979 and their efforts to make atomics.
Not everything is the same.
He's not wrong. If anything what is needed is to establish a decent ruler in Lybia, restore a status quo as it was wrong to bomb and invade it might be important also for the US to offer up reparations. As to Afghan and Iraq I've no solutions other than to pull out and never return.
Maybe Trump figured were due for one to randomly go our way.
Afghanistan was won. Then Trump released +5,000 Taliban prisoners, including their current leader. 🤷
Another GOP dipshit.
Yup and Russia said will send them nukes
But good Lord are they now spinning it to where those were all WINS.
Vietnam , the Congo, Greece, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador. Guatemala etc etc etc. Iran See CIA greatest Hits We spent billions & masscred thousands…
I see Meidas Touch has become CNN/MSNBC/FOXNews platforming Hakeem and Hines who just repeated every lie from Netanyahu/Trump word for word. Iran is NOT our biggest threat when MAGA is destroying the USA right fucking now!
Sigh….. mindlessly repeating horror, destruction and loss……. Something about the definition of insanity…😥😖😤🤬
The regime change he wants is Iranians calling HIM Supreme Leader because he likes how it sounds….
And he wants the land
Nah, go back further, say 1953... when US n UK decided to force regime change to prevent Soviet influence POSSIBILITY and ended up radicalizing the region. We created this monster... as usual! Sigh
Genuine change needs to come from the people of the country. Iran has a glorious history and has enriched the world culturally.
DON'T FORGET THE WAR WOUNDED. And don't call them "wounds." "Wounds" sounds sterile. Tidy. Under control. Tens of thousands of our troops sustained ghastly, life-changing injuries: loss of limbs, eyesight, hearing, brains scrambled, BECAUSE THE FUCKING PRESIDENT SAID WE'D BE GREETED AS LIBERATORS.
The regime change needs to start here. Physician heal thyself.
Fourth time's a charm... I'm not holding my breath! #Resist #Reject #Restore #NOKINGS
You forgot the removal of the Iranian government previously with the British in 1951 due to nationalization of oil resources, and what that led to.
Truth
They never have, have they?
The regime change engineered here in the US certainly isn’t going well.
What a mess!
Go back further to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, and even Iran. All failures.
And we've dismantled the cheaper and easier way to influence power... USAID.
The Mossadegh coup and installation of the Shah worked so well last time we did Iran 😱😱😱
Correct 💯
Exactly. That shit needs to stop.
FOURTH time is the charm.
Forced regimen change is a concept born of hubris❗️ It is an outgrowth of the fairy tale of American Exceptionalism Yet, we never seem to learn from our previous missteps in foreign meddling
The book "Hubris" is quite revealing...
Weapons merchants made bank More fear More profit
Maybe we should stay out of other countries' business, at least until we become the "shining city on the hill" we keep telling the world we are.
Billions in losses, millions of lives lost, no stability after "regime" change. No positive aspects for the world after the changes. But armament producers are so much more wealthy.
He left out the one we did before Libya, Afghanistan & Iraq; Iran.
They always backfired
But none had God’s chosen convict leading the attacks. Amen.
I believe this time the regime change was engineered here- by Russia. We know Putin interfered with our elections, stoked division with bot farms and has a long history with Trump who is likely an operative. Maybe it'll wake us up to what we do to other societies. It all needs to stop.
They went someone's way. The powerful don't want to win wars, they want to keep them going.
If all these superpowers minded their own damned business, there’d be far less strife in the world! The thirst for power and control within countries is also a huge contributor to the woes of this planet.
US CIA and Mossad intervention is a stupid mistake. That's it.
I seriously do not like Trump. But even I know Trump is not interested or could care less about regime changes in Iran 🙄 please don’t tell me you’re actually going to now start believing anything he says 🙄 Iran pissed him off and he was already furious about the protests so he blew off some steam
He was pissed about his stupid birthday party.
Remember when we engineered regime change in Iran? HOW THE FUCK DID THAT GO???
The USA is seen as a JOKE NATION at this time They are NOT the POLICE FOR THE WORLD as they are NOT IMPARTIAL Even those who should be Allies of the USA are questioning their Policies However they are doing nothing about changing the mind of the Policies of Worst President the USA has ever had
but this time we have the best and brightest on top of it....
Iran and Israel have Trump over a barrel. Trump has to meet their respective demands or they’ll lob some missiles.
It feels like they have him inside the barrel
I'll throw in Vietnam for good measure even though it's not the Middle East.
The only country in which we should demand a regime change is the USA!
bsky.app/profile/af68...
What does this all have in common?
Republicans and the Heritage Foundation.
Pretending the US didn't engineer Syria is kind of wild.
If a war is what Dump thinks will help his poll numbers -- he's once again a f*cking idiot.
Germany and Japan and Chile all went our way.
We already did a big one in Iran in 1953 and we are STILL REAPING THE REPERCUSSIONS FROM THAT ONE TODAY!
Well, Vietnam worked out, right?
Promise to Vote for Regime Change in DC!
BUT the 1% will waste their money trying. They need to be deported.
The definition of insanity means maybe THIS time it will work, right?
The USA has failed in all regime changes in this hemisphere I include Cuba and Haiti.
Don’t forget that the CIA was instrumental in installing the Shah of Iran in the 1950s. How did that work out?
USA effected regime change in Iran in 1953 .. beginning a serious of consequences that bring us to the regime controlling Iran today USA & UK meddling
Himes is a sickening, sniveling coward that voted with 128 democrats AGAINST impeaching Trump for starting an illegal war with Iran.
He's also overlooking Korea and Vietnam. How did those wars turn out for us? We are living in the stupidest timeline
There's decades of history of U.S. inspired "regime change" in Central America and the Caribbean. We could add our history with Vietnam and the Philippines as well. It's something we've been doing for a long time.
...with those people in the white house. 😳 Scary times.
Well he did limit his window to the past 20 years? Every “conflict” after WW2 was a bad idea to be sure
The Afghan war went our way as much as possible. In some ways it was a huge success. The women there even now would dance if they knew we were returning.
Maybe someone should point out that much of the blame for the last Shah of Iran being the tyrant that he was can be laid at the feet of the US in what could be described as a regime change.
All the US unsuccessfully meddling in the middle East in past years and they thought ‘Donnie no deals’ was going to solve it?
The goal is to carry out a prophecy. Go back to when the Dead Sea Scrolls were supposedly "discovered". Coincidentally the word "homosexual" and it being a sin didn't show up in KJV until it was revised in 1946. Convenient for white dudes wanting to retain power and create the state of Israel.
Vietnam didn't either
and Syria.
