Trump’s critics hear the words “regime change” and start screaming Iraq 2.0. That’s lazy thinking. What President Donald Trump is talking about is simple: remove dangerous tyrants, smash the weapons that threaten America, and leave. No trillion-dollar nation-building fantasies. No twenty-year occupations. Just decisive American power followed by strategic exit. The strike on Iran’s regime leadership proved that strength restores deterrence. Trump understands what the Washington foreign-policy class forgot: peace comes from fear of consequences. The message to dictators everywhere is crystal clear — threaten America or its allies, and you might not keep your throne… or your life.
Mind boggling, or maybe not, that the same fantasists who dream about time travel in order to murder baby Hitler simultaneously cry about the military targeting of revealed malevolent dictators. It is if infanticide is on a different ethical plane than legal execution.
Thanks for another informative post. Now, if only the other side would listen and heed.
I listen to DJT, Rubio, Hegseth and CJCS Caine re: National Security. Everything else is just noise. I've also turned off X which has gone completely off the rails. When I want sensible advice and conversation I turn to Substack for you and a few others I trust. So please keep us informed. You are a treasure.
So helpful, yes words matter if we don’t interpret correctly. It is way too early to jump to conclusions. I still believe Trump does not want forever wars. We must pray for our military and for wisdom for our Leaders.
The only thing I disagree with is that the panel seemed to believe Americans are all for retribution, and will readily accept a war. Even with violence like the shooter, Ndiaga Diagne in Austin, Texas, there seems to be no outcry for revenge. Just a lot of unanswered questions. After 9-11 and the war aftermath, most Americans are hesitant to accept war as the answer. WMDs left a bad taste in American’s mouths. Trump with the help of Israel, are solving the WMD problem in Iran in a high tech way.

Colin Powell’s “You break it, you own it” proved to be a very costly principle.

A good interview on Triggernometry discusses the very issue of regime change. It's not as simple as it sounds.
