Is there any possible way--not involving a full ground invasion-- for Israel and America to destroy the IRGC's ability to violently repress Iran's population?

Can we win by drone alone?

That seems to be the key question regarding the Iran conflict.

Whenever I hear the letters "CIA" I think of a covert organization with a component that's somewhat visible and answerable to the US Congress, and a component that's totally dark and answerable to no one. Is that a fair representation of the CIA?

Are we all going to die?

Yes. :) :) :)

The single best piece of Ivy League Graffiti I ever read was written on the wall of a bathroom stall at Cornell in 1985. This is what it said:

"You're gonna die!"

we were having a chat in the office one day, talking about health etc and my mate said to the young girl "did you know 100 percent of healthy people die?" and she exclaimed "Really?!!!" ....................

IRAN’S TWO MILITARIES: POWER AND PARALLEL FORCES

The U.S. and Israel appear to be targeting the IRGC bases while largely avoiding Iran’s regular army. From what can be observed, the IRGC holds the real power in Iran, and protects the regime. The Iranian army is focused on national defence.

This raises an important question: what would it take for the regular army to move against the IRGC, and would that outcome actually be desirable?

Is Gutfeld really that short? But seriously....is there a scenario where the Iranian people overthrow the IRGC regime without a weapon supply? Do you think America (and/or Israel) is already covertly arming sympathetic groups in Iran?

Is a deal with Russia and China possible for them to side with the US against Iran? If so what would it entail?

Do you think its possible there is a group in iran that will serve as an insurgency against in the regime? If so, would they have a chance to topple the regime if they had the US/Israel as air support?

Kindly ask Konstantin Kisin why he does not refund payment for cancelled subscriptions. Unethical business practices are not what I would expect from Mr. Kisin.

Have you seen the studies of AI that is trained on MRI images of the human brain? Is the US government close to having technology that literally reads people's minds?

Ask Mike Baker a question about... Quo? Quo is way too much of the preview. Come on!

But more to the point: are the Kurds an actively viable force to assist whatever anti-IRGC movement might exist inside Iran? Or are their denials of involvement true? And how would their involvement play out with any future post-IRGC government?

Who do you see (if there is anyone) as a viable opposition leader / replacement for the current regime that would be acceptable to the non-radicalized populace?

Do you think the IRGC have thousands queueing up to lead them so the snake has limitless heads? will this just embolden them and lead to a harsher regime on the people, demoralisation , economy going to negative as "whats the point in trying".

Air dropping thousands of guns may just invite the wrong people to rise up but still worth a try if no comeback from the shah

Mike, in your separated roll today, can you comment on the "sneakers on the ground" there in Iran these days? Or is it all SIGINT? Thank you for your service.
