So whether you support it or not, it didn't work.

It didn't work.

You're pointing to those successes, really?

Countries that 40 years later are run by the Taliban and Daniel Ortega, and that's the argument for sending arms to the opposition?

But what's so revealing about that clip is how the actual point, the object of the strategy is never stated.

In fact, it's hidden.

And it's hidden in the most sinister way in the language of idealism and ideology.

We have to end Islamism.

We have to stop the threat of the terrorists.

We have to bring freedom to the poor, benighted people of Iran.

When, of course, the actual aim is Israel's aim, which is chaos.

The whole point of this from an Israeli perspective, it's not an attack on Israel, by the way.

I mean, it makes a kind of evil sense.

If you want to eliminate a threat, you can't kill everybody, even with nuclear weapons.

But what you can do is set them at war with each other.

And this has been the way that Israel has conducted asymmetrical warfare since its founding.

You sow chaos among your opponents.

You get them to fight each other.

And that's the goal for Iran, which is just a little bit over 50% Persian.

Not everyone who planned the war seemed to know that or advocated for the war seemed to know that, but the Israelis know it.
