      The point is that Trump’s priority is, and always has been, China, not Iran. He could of course exercise significant leverage against China if he took control of Iran, but he has no faith that he can control the transfer of power to Pahlavi or another Pro-Western regime without the risk of making Iran into another Libya – recall that Iran has 90 million people and Libya only had some 11 million. The people of Iran will still have a say in this, and the cooperation of the Mullahs in not reacting in a way which ties Trump’s hands will be needed as well. The lack of clarity on this outcome and the potential for it to go sideways is the reason for the historic US force buildup. I have been making the case for the reality that Trump will attack in a limited manner for some time now. I still hope I am wrong, but I also still think this is Trump’s intention.

      • Well there are some serious qualitative differences between Libya and Iran…

        And no matter which way of viewing Iran you can safely bet that the mullahs will continues to be aggressive both internally and externally until the end ot time (which may not be an exaggeration).

        There is obviously no easy way out of this, but when one considers that there are now 54 Muslim countries in the world and each of these was the direct result of Muslim conquest… in no uncertain terms. I look upon Iran as potentially the first and most likely country to shuffle off this coil. The other 53? Well that remains the subject for some debate and much analysis. We all need to know what these countries were about historically before their capture, and how much they are now suffering.

        Lots of useful research to be done…
