Actually, it would take someone in the military with control over at least several thousand troops, Like a Julius Ceasar type, who is very charismatic, and could get his troops to follow him, and start a take-over. After that builds some momentum, maybe other parts of the armed forces will join in, and then the civilian populace.

And of course the new boss would have to be at least receptive to Western influence, ideas and values.

To defeat countries like Iran, really, requires playing a much bigger game.

It starts with taking down Islam itself. Islam and the notion of world-wide jihad is the prime motivating force. Yes greed and personal power, but jihad ties everything together.

To take down Islam, you have to be willing to take down the Prophet, Muhammad.

The west is absolutely terrified to do this. In many cases for good reason--criticize Muhammad, draw a cartoon of him, and you will get slaughtered.

the West is terrified (which is exactly why Islam adopts these tactics--they work).

There are so many oh-so-brave keyboard leftist warriors who with Tourette's like obstinancy, love to repeat that Trump is a pedo.

None of you guys are repeating that "Muhammad was a pedo. Muhammad was an asshole. Anyone who follows Muhammad is a pedo-loving asshole." Because, even though it's absolutely true and incontestable, you're all afraid. It's rational to be afraid. But you (and the rest of us) will inevitably lose the world wide global jihad because of that fear.

That's actually the answer to every issue, at least from the correct psy-ops perspective.

Why should Israel dominate Gaza and the West Bank and why should there be no two state solution, just Israel?

"Because the Palestinians worship Allah and Muhammad. Muhammad was a pedofile who glorified killing infidels. He was an asshole of the highest order. He was the mideval version of Hitler. Muhammad was a pedo, he was Hitler, and he was an asshole. Anyone who believes in anything Muhammad believed in is a pedo-lover, a Hitler-lover and an asshole themselves."

Why should Israel and the U.S. continually attack Iran? "Because the Iranian mullahs worship Allah and Muhammad. Muhammad was a pedofile who glorified killing infidels. He was an asshole of the highest order. He was the mideval version of Hitler. Muhammad was a pedo, he was Hitler, and he was an asshole. Anyone who believes in anything Muhammad believed in is a pedo-lover, a Hitler-lover and an asshole themselves."

And so forth.

You keyboard warriors on the left feel all so brave and giggly making similar accusations against Trump, MAGA, and Republicans. But Trump, MAGA, and Republicans aren't firing missiles at you.

You have to decide at some point which side you are on.

Most of you, at least in your posing on the internet, are on the wrong side of this.

Don't believe me? Give it a try.

Fly to London and wear a T-shirt with an unattractive picture of Muhammad and big bold writing saying, "Muhammad was a pedofile and a Hitler. What an asshole!!! Anyone who thinks this guy was worth anything must also be a pedofile and an asshole!" Obviously you would be immediately arrested if not murdered.

In fact you would be murdered if you wore that T-shirt on the campus of Columbia University and a number of other U.S. universities.

Show some real courage though.
