How to Complete the Iran Regime Change

20 0
latest

Trump has defeated the America-must-not-win caucus again. He has got a darned good regime change going.

The anti-American coalition of Left and Right crazies is not gone. It’s reeling, but it includes half the Congress and even a few people in the White House. A majority of the major media people are that way, too. They all keep repeating the failed slogans of Bush and Obama: “No regime change.”  “Just in and out.”

They are unaware that America has been making common sense regime changes ever since our pioneers first landed here in 1607. We couldn’t have survived if we didn’t. We could never have grown to 50 states if we didn’t. We couldn’t have grown so great in the wider world either, if we didn’t continue doing it on a larger scale after 1900.

Most people have forgotten all this. They somehow only remember the endlessly repeated Bush-Obama campaign slogans – the slogans against a few of the regime changes that we did under Clinton and Bush and Obama, and that we didn’t even try to make work right.

That’s why, far too often in recent years, our leaders have yielded to this foolishness and abandoned their victories just when we were ready to complete them.

Now we’ve made another common sense regime toppling. Good for us!

The only question remaining is whether we’ll carry it through to the finish line, with a completed regime change to a genuinely friendly regime; or will yield again to the loser caucus and throw away our victory again.

Here’s how to carry through

Get the replacement regime together ASAP. Ignore the Rumsfeld-types and Obama-types, the fools who say that’s none of our business what happens after we’ve toppled our enemies and we can leave it all to the Iranians to do.

A viable new pro-Western political is all but ready: the oppositions have met and are well on the way to agreement. But we cannot wait for regular processes for it to eventually get into power. We must get the groups together more conclusively on an emergency basis. Fortunately the broad acceptance of the Crown Prince, as a transitional leader until elections, provides a basis for proceeding.

And we must get them ready to proceed for real as a new government in Iran. They can start with a base area that we can secure in the country.

Install this new government in the base area inside Iran. Secure the area around this government with reliable forces on our side – probably Israeli forces to start. Others from the President’s new Board of Peace can help and perhaps replace the Israelis; good people like Milei of Argentina might put up the forces for it and the Saudis can easily put up the money.

Secure more areas in Iran as a base for the new regime to build up its forces. And as a place for accepting surrender of the many old enemy forces who will want to switch sides.

Tell the IRGC people and old military to declare loyalty to this new popular government and put themselves under its command. And don’t talk merely pacifist to them (“lay down your weapons”). Tell the IRGC to verifiably surrender their weapons to this new leadership in the secured areas. For those who can’t get there to do that, don’t be bashful to remind them that they can turn their weapons against their old masters – turn them against the IRGC holdouts and end the war for good.

Help the new friendly regime build up its forces. They need to become strong enough to secure the whole country. And strong enough to wipe out, month after month, the residual terrorist forces that are inevitably strewn around the country from the totalitarian system they’ve been suffering under for nearly half a century.

Help the new pro-Western regime make a success of life in Iran after the evil regime is gone. Get good oil and trade deals done speedily with it.

Get the new friendly regime to open up all nuclear and missile facilities to our full inspection and dismantlement.

All this – the oil deals, the inspections and dismantlement – will become easy to do when there is a genuinely new, genuinely friendly regime. But it’s not even possible if we cut a deal to get just a reshuffled version of the old tyranny – what our loser “in and out” caucus and media are calling for. They’re trying 24-7 right now to lure us into another way to blow this victory. Don’t be fooled by their siren songs!

Give enough time for the elections to confirm what the evidence thus far indicates: that the overwhelming majority of Iranians will support this new regime and it’ll be here for the long run.

Then declare victory and go home.

That’ll be real, common sense regime change. And Presieent Trump’s greatest triumph. One that even our entire media won’t be able to stop the people from admiring.
