#1

So the $34+ Trillion in debt USA is going to try and bankrupt another country?

Why not start taking out the real problem and the driving force...
The Islamic Radical Leadership? It costs less $$$$, less lives and is quicker.

Just funnel in a few $$ Million to fund the various internal opposition groups.
Like the groups that rose up during the Bush, Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

But this time, this WH Admin won't turn it's back on them for various agenda reasons.

#2 NN2N1,

The problem there is that since WWII and beyond, we have never ever picked the right group to back. It's been an unending string of disasters, and I wouldn't trust even a Trump Administration State Department to pick the right one.

The smartest thing would do would be The Night Of The Teheran Vespers - whack the entire upper tier of the Iranian theocracy and the Revolutionary Guard.

Then announce we'll work with (not necessarily support) whoever can keep the oil flowing. They'll be on their asses for decades.
