They've been going at it with the Iranians since the Stone Age.
voice-verified
So, I mean, like a lot of this reporting that like there is this imminent uprising tends to be false.
voice-verified
Additionally, Iran from the outside, I mean, for posterity was fully against it from the outside.
voice-verified
I was even concerned at the strikes last summer.
voice-verified
The understanding was, OK, well, look, we go in here.
voice-verified
These people are prime for revolution.
voice-verified
So we can go here and take out the trash, so to speak, because certainly the Iranian regime is quite detestable.
voice-verified
Then these people will rise up.
voice-verified
We've created space and they can rise up and whatever.
voice-verified
And then it turned out to be the complete opposite, where it ended up kind of being a rallying.
voice-verified
The government ended up becoming something for these people to rally around, where we've seen for the last six months, including this last weekend, massive demonstrations in the streets of Tehran.
voice-verified
of Iranian people, of Persian people specifically, supporting the regime.
voice-verified
And I think there's kind of this point where it's like if you are in the camp of like serious concern, the Iranian regime needs to go, that's your North Star, or even that's like an imperative for you.
voice-verified
There's an argument to be made that might have been better off just like letting the revolutions run their course prior to this intervention.
voice-verified
But this intervention has kind of created the same dynamic that happened in World War II with Germany, where the German people were also primed to start sort of attacking and trying to overthrow the regime.
voice-verified
And then the Western, the Allies sort of bombing them, and they ended up rallying around the Third Reich.
voice-verified
And then it made it even harder to break that up.
voice-verified
Yeah, I just think it was not just a mistake from like a political perspective because Trump had promised no new wars.
voice-verified
But additionally, it was kind of a mistake just from a geopolitical perspective and even a military perspective, because the trajectory from then actually looks more promising than what we currently are, where from my perspective.
voice-verified
Again, as an amateur geopolitical commentator, very amateur, I see this stretching out potentially even in 2027 because the Houthis have demonstrated they can lay some serious blows on the Saudis and that ropes the Saudis into the war.
