You would think the forum Karen would want women liberated
Oh, I would want that, you idiot. I think not only my recent posts, but the ones that I wrote in the past on the subject of Iran has shown that. But in order to know that you'd have to read them and use your brain while doing so.
But in the past I wrote that I have doubts if getting rid of the leaders of the regime in Iran will be enough for this regime to fall and now after reading this article my doubts are even bigger (actually the situation seems to be even worse than I thought):

According to a Polish expert on Middle East from the Jagiellonian University the opposition in Iran is weak and not organised. He says it's impossible for them to take over power in the nearest future.
Steven Erlanger, a journalist from "The New York Times", who was reporting on the Iranian revolution in 1978-79, echos the sentiment that it will be very difficult for the opposition to take over power. Regime's leaders and military commanders will be replaced. A system that's been created for 47 years won't fall apart that easily.
Aditionally, Trump said that this operation will last only a few weeks. The regime may wait this out. So it may be unlikely that people opposing the regime will have enough confidence to risk their lives and try to topple the regime. And will there be enough of people on their side? Who will lead them? Do they have any weapons? Did the US smuggle any weapons into Iran for the opposition or helped them in any way? Are there any supporters of the opposition in the Iranian army? Does the US know any of this?
Also, in another interview Trump apparently said that maybe this attack on Iran will last just a few days and he'll make a deal with the regime.
On another occasion he said that they had someone who could potentially take over power in Iran, but the strikes killed him lol
It looks like Trump's mind is all over the place, he doesn't know what he's doing and this whole thing looks like a not well thought through mess.
I don't know, maybe the opposition in Iran is so well hidden and secretive that nobody knows about it and we'll have a wonderful surprise once the strikes achieve their goals, but I'm afraid that's probably unlikely...
So I'm simply torn on this issue. On one hand I'd like the regime in Iran to fall (for everybody's sake, not only for women), but I understand that this may not be so easy and likely to happen as some Americans apparently think. This may turn into a bloody civil war or the regime will just stay in power and will retaliate against those Iranians who asked the US for help. I value human life, I'm not a sadist and I don't want Iranians to suffer even more for nothing. I don't want the US give them hope and then abandon them once the Trump administration realises that in order for the Iranian regime to fall American boots on the ground are needed.
Trump is unpredictable and him and his administration is untrustworthy, stupid, hot-headed, arrogant and they don't value human life. Those people are much worse than the previous American administrations and look how those previous administrations f*cked it up with Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm afraid that under this administration it can be only worse.
Of course, I hope that I'm wrong and, against all odds, this operation will turn out to be a success and the regime in will fall, Iran will turn into a democracy and the future for the Iranian people will be bright. I guess we'll see - there's no other choice now anyway besides waiting for the outcome...
