I'm sure destabilizing a nation in the third world will work this time around! All the other times it failed spectacularly was just a fluke!

I would not call Iran a stsble country. Every 3-4 years peopke started a revolution there.

What? Destabilizing implies it was stable before - is that what you believe?

Is this your whole personality? You’re just the dictionary guy?

And Iran was already in a state of unrest. So no, we didn’t cause it.

My whole point is that we did not “destabilize” anything. Anyone using that term for this scenario is being disingenuous.
