In know a miners lad fro Ponytefract in Yourkshire and he still feels the same. Maggie will always come into the play after a few pints. I do know where you're coming from on her mate. She had her negativs too. Amazing how much she still gets folks hearts pounding. I do see the balanced view. Thereis good and bad in every leader I must see it from the negative side rather the positive a bit more.

Regime change is almost certainly not happening. In fact, I think between the shock and awe style of bombing, and going after their leader may have even unified enough of the people to make the regime stronger than before the bombing. People can hate their government while still coming together against an external threat.
Theyll likely maintain some missile capacity, both in launch and production. It’s a country bigger than Afghanistan with mostly mountains and more population.
At best we can give them the black eye of a lifetime from the sky and then leave.
The question is what happens to the strait. We were unable to put down the Houthis and take control of the mouth of the Red Sea. So people should be prepared for a long energy crisis if Iran holds to their convictions.
You can't really fully prepare for a crisis you can only power through the best you can. I'm not calling for a regime change per say, but a big black eye and some broke ribs with the message of you better get your shit straight our we will end you works for me.

British Leyland was managed very, very, badly. There cars were rubbish.
When I was little, I sent them some drawings of a car that I designed.
Mind, it had six wheels and gull wing doors.
I got a very snotty reply saying that they had their own team of designers and didn't need my input. Sending back my drawings.
B@stards.
I was only little.....
'l'll just check my Giveashitometer....Nope. Nothing...

It was a joke.
Perhaps your Psychology degree skipped humour?

Think of the utter cockwomble you have to be to write back to a child with that kind of attitude?
Talk about crushing hopes and dreams.
Complete and utter b@stard methinks.

Imho, her positives equate to the decisive leadership skills she showed during the Falklands War.
Arguably a good wartime prime minister.
She managed to restore a modicum of national pride to the country.
When times were hard, and the people were down.
But she put a lot of them there, so....
It does not exactly balance out.
Comparable to the likes of Winston Churchill.
Meaning far better as a wartime leader than a peacetime PM.
Each to their own.
But i suppose we'd better return to the topic, which is Trump.
I don't think she would have put up with any of his verbal attacks, nor shenanigans.
Put it that way.

If you're on X then you've probably seen the videos
In conjunction with the real war, there's a propaganda AI generated meme war going on between US and Iran:

The White House is catching flak for the insensitive content being posted from official accounts

There's a saying that goes...
