....his talk of regime change and having Iranians do it themselves is just his way of disowning the consequences of his destabilizing warring.

But you're absolutely right that he's made no effort to even organize a resistance, much less protect them, and that it would take a ground invasion of hundreds of thousands of troops to control any of that.

It's a canard, and he's very possibly just talking out of his ass here, as is usual for him.

Republicans only know how to break things. They don't know how to fix and build anything other than their own bank accounts.
