Trump ~ Bad Cop Or Good Cop

So many on here regard Trump as a bad cop.  However if he launched a massive aerial attack on Iranian military bases, and also neutralised Ayatollah Khomeini which effectively ended his brutal regime and liberated millions from his tyranny, would Trump then become a good cop?

As Iran ultimately prevented Iraq from achieving its expansionist goals, does that make the late Ayatollah Khomeini a good cop?The cost for Iran was huge, with immense casualties (hundreds of thousands dead) and economic ruin, setting back development for decades.Plus the same for Saddam's Iraq. Big win for the West? Maybe.

"and also neutralised Ayatollah Khomeini"He died 35 years ago in 1989.The current leader is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Cue: shrug.

I really don't know. Aren't we (or should I say the Iranians?) here because of similar help before?

Mr Ixer'One for the Iranians to sort out on their own?'Perhaps with a little help from Mossad, the IDF and the CIA hopefully😉😁

Mr Ixer'I guess a massive attack on Iran's military bases might cause the fall of the current government but might result in a bloody revolution as government supporters fight the revolutionaries? Or just anarchy as the government collapses? Think Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq?One for the Iranians to sort out on their own?'🎼🎶🎵"Don't let's be beastly to the IraniansWhen Western victory is ultimately won,It was just those nasty mullahs who persuaded them to fightAnd their support for Islamic terrorism is really far worse than their biteLet's be meek to themAnd turn the other cheek to themAnd try to bring out their latent sense of fun.Let's give them full air parityAnd treat the rats with charity,But don't let's be beastly to the Arabs."With acknowledgement to Noel Coward.

Personally I think the Iranians are going to need help to overthrow the Islamist regime unless the ayatollahs lose the support of the army. If that support has to come from outside Iran so be it.
