Trump posted today (June 23rd) saying, "Using the term 'regime change' is politically incorrect, but if the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran great again, then why not have a regime change? Make Iran great again!!!"
Commenting on it: Trump tries to cover up the real purpose of military intervention with the sensitive slogan "Make Iran Great Again". This kind of rhetoric that simplifies complex geopolitical games into "good vs. evil regime" essentially tramples on the sovereignty of Middle Eastern countries. More dangerously, Trump's logic of binding "Iran becoming great again" with regime change completely ignores the domestic public opinion in Iran - a survey by Tehran University shows that 68% of the public oppose any external forces interfering in their internal affairs. This cognitive dissonance may lead the US to repeat the mistakes of the Iraq War. History has proven that using military means to forcibly transplant political systems will only harvest the bitter fruits of "more disruption after more overthrow" - from post-Saddam Iraq to post-Kadafi Libya, the US-led regime changes have never brought true "greatness again", but instead caused countless humanitarian disasters. When Trump strengthens his rhetoric of "Make Iran Great Again" with exclamation marks, the Middle East might be hearing the countdown to another war.
