From the article:
Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) on Sunday said the United States won’t be able to “fix” Iran following the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We’re not going to be able to fix Iran. The Iranian people are going to have to step up,” McCormick said during an appearance on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.”
“It might be some version of people within the current regime and are able to step up and paint a new day for Iran. It might be an entirely new regime. We don’t know that. We don’t know the future yet, but we need to put them in the best position to find out for themselves,” he added.
Dude is totally serious that the fix will come from within after we just bombed their country
Who can ‘fix’ the US?
Wait, what?
Trump isn’t bombing Iran to fix anything. He’s doing it because 1) Bibi and team spent millions on him and 2) Kushner told him to. That’s it.
It’s been over year since Trump was supposed to end the Russia/Ukraine war. Somehow, people are expecting him to pull off a regime change and nation building in Iran? Yeah, ok.
Btw, Mexico never paid for that wall.
If we take everyone in the administration and drop them off in Tehran it’d be a start.
As if that was ever the plan.
Then why the HELL are you bombing there and starting a war?
Because Netanyahu wanted to? Because the Orange Fascist wanted a distraction from his PEDO files?
Why fix it when you can break it
We went 0 for 3 in our liberation and „administer democracy to these folk“ in the Middle East. The track record isn’t good.
Fixing and „Profiting Off“ are two different things.
The republican’s plan depended on Iranian nationals to revolt and establish a new government, even though our intelligence community assessed that IRGC would re-constitute their existing hardline regime. Killing Khamenei was a step backwards for every country except Israel, which depends on a hardline Iranian regime they can continue to call the enemy.
But it sure can fix Americans talking about Epstein
So, the plan here is to bomb Iran until a popular uprising displaces current leadership. And if those people aren’t good little Israel- and America-friendly capitalists, bomb them again?
Regime change doesn’t work like that. If this incompetent administration at least would have had a plan for this… They cut off the head of the snake.
Now what? Now they all think the problem gonna solve itself? It won’t. The people won’t govern themselves and will lead the state. Those will lead who has the most political connections, money, and power in the elite.
The Middle East isn’t set up or ready for any sort of democratic system. Ask anyone from the Middle East how democracy could work and you’d have 1000 different ideas. The main reason is how religion is so engrained in their society and then you have the surrounding countries that would move in. We loathe the dictators but you absolutely cannot fix them with western ideals.
Iran war can TEMPORARILY veer the attention of people away from Epstein files.

Shit, we can’t even fix ourselves
Why would we want to fix Iran, and maybe Iran is run the way its people want. The arrogance and hubris of the US has flown off the chart.
Everyone’s already forgotten that removing the current leadership is the easy part of regime change. The Taliban, Saddam, Gaddafi etc. were all quickly removed from power at the start of the wars. We’ve all seen what happens next.
Ohhhh boy. It’s like we’ve never learned anything….
No shit. What country have they ever fixed, including their own?
The US can’t fix its own problems most of the time. Even MAGA doesn’t want expensive forever wars that make Americans less safe at home and abroad.
Bombing never was going to fix Iran. You can’t just kill the guy in charge with no follow through and expect regime change to occur like magic. It’s child-like magical thinking. If I just kill the bad guy then everything will be fixed. Delusional
Earlier today, Trump offered immunity to IRGC members.
This raises two questions:
1) Under what authority does he offer immunity? Immunity from who – whatever new government emerges?
2) If you’re a member of the opposition, why in the world would you stick your neck out, if the US is effectively urging the IRGC to retain power and control? You would have to be insane to risk that.
So lets keep letting Trump waste billions per day bombing them?
What is PA Senator Connecticut Dave McCormick doing on that stage?
“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She well knows that by enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.”
They’re ideological, you can’t kill that. It isn’t a person, it’s a belief. We keep making it easier for the belief to live on by participating in life altering violence.
Can’t believe we kicked out Bob Casey for this guy.
To be fair, Senate Republicans can’t fix a bowl of cereal either.
Why is it even our job to do so?
Right
That would be like asking the liquor store crack head to sort your life out for you at this point.
Rs been nation destroying for decades.
Their view world does not comport with reality. They cant government so they destroy
Hey, how about that!? You can’t fix the LGBTQ community either!
Wake me up when he’s dead.
But we can make a lot of money by making Iran worse!

As long as Republicans are in power the US cant fix the US..
Well, hopefully that one guy can balance out the other one guy that’s also a republican and somehow thinks that this is the time to leverage war to force the Democrats to vote for funding homeland security. What a world we live in.
Republican. Single. None of the others have a problem with illegal attacks apparently.
You mean we won’t be greeted as liberators?!?! This is Iraq 2.0
The ONLY people that can fix ANY country are the people that LIVE in that country. This is straight up common sense. How do so many people not know this?!
As if the US itself is in a position to tell any country how to exist and what is and isn’t kosher.
L-M-A-O
A few more bombs should do it.
Look, if this leads to regime change, great. The Iranian people deserve a leadership that isn’t horrifying.
But I remain unconvinced Trump actually gives a fuck.
