          They cut and ran in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and that was when the U.S. was a global hegemon at its absolute peak. No way they can regime change a country that is more populous and developed than both neighbors put together.

          Especially not after they have spend the last 9 years destroying their international power structures.

          I mean, sure, they kan kill a few hundred thousand people, declare victory and fuck off, but they can’t do much to actually change anything for the better long term.

          Not a fucking chance that happens. We could assassinate a string of their leaders, they won’t let a puppet take over, not a fucking chance. If anything hardliners will get in after they kill their leaders, which is what Israel wants, to keep the war going, for cause to come back and hit them again and again after peace is remade, for years. It’s a forever war Israel is buying with their blackmail so they don’t have to face their domestic failures in the ghetto uprising, and elections.

      You do realize most of that is a concerted effort to drum up support, that the protests aren’t nearly as widespread as they would have you believe, and that this is 101 for manipulating people into war?
