It’s not all that easy to change sheets… 😐
Unfortunately, to prevent our government from committing external coups like this, we would have to change our regime first.
It is completely unclear what these numpties think “regime change” even means (it seems to me that they don’t either).
Does it mean taking out a prominent leader (who was 86 and likely to die soon anyway), or the wholesale replacement of the entire government structure? The first doesn’t change the country much at all… Khamenei didn’t slaughter thousands of protesters with his own hands, his underlings are quite capable of staying on course. The second means reinventing government from the ground up, on the fly, by inexperienced people, leaving the nation vulnerable to the risk of a takeover to radical partisans… which is how the people of Iran ended up in the current pickle to begin with.
@DavidM_yeg it means taking out old dictator and replace him with his younger son who is even worse.

Oh yes, “a keg of regime change…” - this is
definitely how regime change should be mesured: in kegs. (Kegsworth take note)
