I have mixed feelings about what's taking place in Iran. I am for liberation of Iranian people from theocracy but seems like nobody remembers how the Iranian Revolution came to be and why the Shah was unpopular.
My optimism is at best minimized because very few countries that were "liberated" are thriving vs most that remain in chaos or deadlocked into stagnation.
The only upside perhaps is that China loses 70% of its oil sources and that it may be hard to invade Taiwan as a result of these energy shocks and reliance on Russia one that coupled with economic downturn will inevitably lead to similar chaos taking place in Iran.
When people have no bread (or rice), they will fear nothing.

Which countries that are thriving do you think were not “liberated”? The US has done well, and King George III did not depart willingly.
