As the US & Israel have launched attacks on Iran this morning, we will now find out whether as the Tangerine Tyrant expects, Iran will capitulate & cooperate in regime change, or as Iran-specialists suggested last week, the Iranian rulers/Govt.

As the US & Israel have launched attacks on Iran this morning, we will now find out whether as the Tangerine Tyrant expects, Iran will capitulate & cooperate in regime change, or as Iran-specialists suggested last week, the Iranian rulers/Govt. have calculated they can take more pain than the US has the patience to continue with..... much will depend on the extent & duration of Iran's response (militarily & politically) this weekend.

Now we wait to see....

I don't know if the Tangerine Tyrant cares.

I think his court is more interested to see what kind of opposition there will be in the USA, in the wake of the midterms elections.

Yes, as I posted last week, there is a sense this is straight out of the Thatcher-Falklands playbook

(but, to be fair to Thatcher (!), she didn't start the war.)

@elCelio @ChrisMayLA6 didn't she, or her government, withdraw the patrol boat ?
