First, they say we're going to have this wrapped up in six weeks.
Oh, then we're going to do a ceasefire and then we'll wrap it up.
They're going to string along the idea of a deal, but I don't think that's their realistic goal.
There's no midterm elections in Iran.
The thing that makes it tough, though, is that the IRGC has guns and the people of the country don't have guns.
So regime collapse, you have to have one side having guns as well.
Historically, what makes a population rise up and get guns?
A rebel group.
Starvation.
But wouldn't you say a rebel group typically exists with the help of an intelligence agency in a situation like this?
I think in Iran the hope is that the regular army, they have guns.
The other way regimes collapse is the people with the guns realize this is completely rotten, I can't do this anymore.
That's how the Soviet Union collapsed.
The soldiers refused to fire.

That's a part of the question too.

economy having trouble, I think we're due for a good recession, let some inflation die down a little bit.
So I think that's fine aside from the midterms.
Except we're going to get stagflation.
