It's like watching two trains in the midsts of an imminent collision with each other on the same track and one can do nothing about it other than being a witness to the resulting mayhem and destruction.

It is my perception that Nutty knows exactly what he's doing; his political goal is to establish a permanent state of chaos and unrest in the Middle East. Dumpf? Oh he's like the little boy caught doing something wrong so he blames the other guy with whom he was playing. Pathetic ... an utterly fatuous individual.

Thank you for pointing that out! And let me add another angle, to the delusion that Israel wants a democratic and free Iran: On March 9, Netanjahu called on the people of Iran to rush out on the streets and take matters into their own hands. On March 10, Netanjahus pet-goy Pahlavi repeated his message.

Before that, Israel and/or the US pretty much destroyed the police infrastructure in all the cities that they bombed, under the pretext that the regime is using the police as a tool of repression. Every police station, investigation department and even special units, like the one responsible for the protection of VIPs, like diplomats and embassies. The police is setting up mobile stations, but those are barely enough to rebuild capacity, especially under such a war and many citizens are reporting, that they can't reach the police at all anymore.

Still, nobody is rushing to the streets and the Israeli-/US-aligned groups are trying, but failing to mount sizable protests and urprisings. Instead relying on criminal gangs to just stage some chaos and riots, to keep security forces busy.

Neither Israel nor the US cared to explain, who and how security will be maintained for ordinary citizens, with the police severly degraded or disabled. The majority of the police in Iran, is just doing that, ordinary police work. People are not showing up because,

a) Those who can, have left for the provinces and rural areas and are not in the cities.

b) Those who still have a home, don't want to go out, because they are afraid of the very serious threat of robbery.

c) Those who have lost everything, are seeking shelter and struggling to survive. According to UNHCR, up to 1 Mio. households are presumed to be destroyed, which would represent around 3 Mio. people displaced inside the country. These are more inclined to join protest that are organized by regime loyalists and sympathizers, out of anger and hatred towards Israel and the US.

So for Israel to have the population take matters into their own hands, they would first need to actually stop the bombing, as ordinary citizens are in survival-mode and regime change is the least of their very existantial problems.
