Yeah, we have such a great track record with regime change in the Middle East. But my guess is this is another Donny does Bibi a solid. We bomb Iran, then go in there for 20 years trying to build a government. Bibi say "thank you, America. Be sure to come visit our beautiful beaches on the Mediterranean when you're done in Iran."

The Three Key Avengers? More like The Three Stooges.

Both Netanyahu and Putin are able to manipulate Trump

Kamala Harris said it right to his face in front of the American people in the debate

Especially the last part talking about Putin, eating him for lunch

Netanyahu and Putin are having a pretty good lunch

It continues to amaze me that Trump voters cannot see that he is mentally impaired.

Yeah, typical in these times. Cabinet and VP saying one thing, Trump saying the opposite. Trump keeps rattling the cage about regime change, even though it's not “politically correct”. You can't make this shit up.

Trump didn't say that the bombings were for regime change. He just said he would like to see regime change, if the Iranians could somehow manage it. So he did disagree with Vance. Maybe Vance can go run for president of Iran.

Is J D Vance an opportunistic chameleon?

That sums up JD exactly 😆 It takes a special talent to be more detestable than Trump, but JD for the win!

OK - It's not classic statecraft. We can pretty easily see how messaging could be done better. But, though it is noteworthy and newsworthy, should this be surprising to us or even to the principals involved in this story?

Mr. Trump may not necessarily be fully aware that he has set a contradictory message in the pathway.

So, if for example, if a member of the Sunday Show Team were confronted, live, with such a contrary message,

I think they would say, "Well it sounds like the President, upon further reflection, is finding that a regime change

In Iran is something which can have great potential."

Or...he may not know just what a "regime" is. "Something you put in a car?'

Like Febreze? I mean it sounds a little French, like, "regime." Am I going too far? I see a new line of Denims, "Regime", "But don't let your Day become regimented. Wear daylight Regimes, all day, but when evening comes, it's time to break out the night vision technology." "In short it's time for a Regime Change." "Our colors hide by night."

OY - probably went too far...

Yes, they'll come up with some mish-mash that is basically meaningless. They always do.

Hegseth appears like a wind up Ken doll with a sketchy battery

Exactly- a cyber Ken Doll. With about as much brains and vocabulary.

I think you, Tim Miller, are being a bit snarky here. It seems obvious that the 'clowns' you reference were not "in the room" when the decision was made. Hegseth, Gabbard, Rubio, Vance-all likely on the sideline for the ultimate go ahead. General Cain, the CIA director and knowledgable military people most likely were. And make no mistake, even a broken clock is right twice a day-this was the correct and courageous decision, even if made by a Mad King. Bret Stephens, Max Boot, David Ignatius and even the vile Marc Thiessen are correct in applauding this degradation of the Iranian nuclear capability.
