This is an important report discussing the real implications of this War which has always been about Regime Change and was clearly in the works taking place 8.6 months from the last incursion. Yet Regine Change is always the object of the Neocons. The CIA’s involvement in Regime Change and assassination plots was the subject of several major congressional investigations in the mid-1970s. Venezuela and Iraq as well as Vietnam were all about Regime Change. The Neocons have clearly hoodwinked Trump as they have weaseled their way into every administration Democrat or Republican. They are unelected and have infiltrated American foreign policy and pretend to be bringing Democracy to the world when they never stand for election and engage in war always circumventing Congress. The last time Congress issue a Declaration of War was for World War II.
The danger here is that Trump has stated the objective – Regime Change. Just as the EU and NATO are not interested in pushing Russia out of Ukraine, they too want Regime Change. The problem here is when you are actually seeking to destroy a government, then there are no rules of war that are applicable. This is when bad things do happen. More importantly, Regime Change is not possible with simple air power. It requires boots on the ground as was the case in Iraq.
