Did you see Tucker Carlson roast Ted Cruz over this stuff? (Public Board)

You're totally not getting it. You make regime change sound like a slam dunk and handwaving the actual risks. This is a common error with Americans, nobody here understands basic nature of Iran. We hand wave about those quaint people over there somewhere.

Tucker exposed neocon Ted Cruz's ignorance in a recent interview that got combative on two points:

1) Ted Cruz had no idea what Iran's size is. He said "whatever" when challenged. The point was that Cruz had absolutely no idea if Iran was a small country (<10 million) or a large country. Iran has 90 million people, about 1/4 the population of the US. Cruz pushes for a war with no idea how large the target is.

2) Ted Cruz had no idea about Iran's population mix. There are several factions in Iran, not simply peace loving potential western style consumers. They take their Shia religion deadly seriously, even to stage a revolution over. A strong central government keeps Iran's factions bottled up. Change that regime and you will see the biggest civil war on Earth plus a migrant crisis that overshadows anything we've seen in this century.

IMO Tucker was civil about it and probably too nice. Ted Cruz is a moron.

Tucker had Cruz dead to fucking rights.
