  >I’m not gonna act like I have the answer. Probably to push them into a corner until a new generation takes control, and until oil is worthless or worth less. The issue is, that will take a shite tonne of manpower. We're trying it in Yeman right now and failing. The same in Lebanon for the last few decades. Instead of making progress, we're actually losing. Iran has significantly increased its influence in Iraq since we "liberated it". So we either need to start sending in troops or reconsider entirely. I'm also hopeful that a new generation will take over and be Pro Western. It is the only long term solution here. But that won't happen if we continue to attack Iran, Sanction them for nothing etc. A while back, we (the west) picked Saudi as our ally in the region. That was a horrible mistake. Its time to reevaluate the whole map there and say "what's wrong with Iran as our, if not ally, person we can do business with?". The only alternative to this is either a huge war or defeat and the whole region falling under hostile control...
