re: How long before we send in the ground troops?

These issues have already been ironed out months ago. There will be no power vacuum. The new leadership is simply waiting for the heat to go down and then the new gov't will be built.
Who is this “new leadership” you speak of?

You think the Iranian people are going to welcome Arab and Israeli boots on the ground with open arms?
The geopolitical risk in this is if we don’t fill the power vacuum China will. China knows the American people have zero appetite for another drawn out Middle Eastern conflict and will be ready to pounce with military support and capital if we leave the door open. Thus, I’m not overly sure what the administration’s play is here. There isn’t even a natural pro-western candidate within Iran that would be credible internally and meet America’s goals in this conflict

He left the same government in place. I don’t think you can realistically do that in Iran where the social and historical norms are massively different.
You think the Iranian people are going to trust an Arab coalition led by the Saudi’s to rebuild their government and economy?

It will be up to persians, israeli’s, and gulf states to ensure Iran succeeds
It’s probably going to be China dumping capital I to the country to rebuild it if not the USA

So the Trump administration is going to try to install a pro-west dictator, overthrowing the country’s military and religious leadership, without putting any men on the ground and expects that it will all work out?
I honestly don’t see how the US gets the regime change they want without putting boots on the ground. If the US doesn’t - the Chinese will play the long game and flood the country with capital

Would Trump let some one like Bibi impact his decision making on Iran. Once you figure out that Israel completely has the man in his pocket it all begins to make sense
The Iranians Cannot Overthrow the Regime Without Weapons
Posted by IMSA_Fan on 3/2/26 at 5:52 am
I agree with the article’s central argument that the Iranian people are unlikely to overthrow the regime without access to weapons or meaningful external support, given the state’s monopoly on force and willingness to use it. History shows that unarmed protest movements struggle to defeat entrenched authoritarian systems backed by loyal security apparatuses. While the desire for freedom inside Iran is real and admirable, any serious discussion of regime change has to grapple with the hard reality of power, force, and the regime’s capacity for violent suppression.

re: Does Cuba just hand us the keys?

Is that a car we want the keys to? It would be a massively expensive restoration

The biggest problem with North Korea is they can pretty easily shell Pyongyang with mortar rounds, given how close it is to the boarder, and there is not much we can do about it.
How does Cuba in any shape or form lead to an economic positive for the US?
Yes - and if we don’t filling it with infrastructure and economic support China will be standing there with a open checkbook willing to fund what they need to
Cuba is going to be a humanitarian nightmare that is going to cost this country $100’s of billions if we go that route
We still have zero clue who is in or will come to power and are going to have a limited ability to do that unless we put boots on the ground. Also, if we’re not willing to put $100’s of billions in to rubles the republic, china will be standing there with a open checkbook to fill the power vacuum

I think we’re heading towards an election where both parties will run younger candidates with AI and job protection policies being the overwhelming issue
That completely determines how the election plays out

I don't wanna hear a fricking word from women about "equal pay" in sports. They have a golden opprotunity to promote Women's Hockey and they want to play politics. Instead of going with your male counterparts, displaying your gold medals as a unified team, and trying to get as much out of this victory as you can to promote the sport and national pride, they choose to sit out because of politics. Some women are stupid
How are they supposed to get to DC? Should they have to do it on their own dollar?

This is a very reasonable declination. The women’s team roster is about half pro players and half college players. The ones still in college have already missed 3 weeks of class and the pro players have their league resuming and need to get back to their teams. The statement seems was respectful in the declination and mentioned it was an honor to be invited, so it seems like the door would be open to accept an invite at a later time. The NHL players have their season resuming Wednesday and Thursday too, but their NHL teams can afford to get them back from DC on private jets quickly after their visit.
The women’s players don’t have the same access to private jets and charters that the men’s team do given the economic realities of their sport vs the men’s game
