Episode notes
Regime Change Likely Produces Chaos Not Stability
- U.S. strikes risk creating regional chaos rather than stable regime change.
- Daniel Davis compares potential fallout to Libya and Syria where intervention shattered order and produced long-term violence.
Iranian Opposition Won't Embrace Foreign Military Overthrow
- Political opposition inside Iran likely won't welcome foreign-imposed regime change.
- Davis notes millions have protested pro-government and opposition figures won't easily ally with U.S. or Israeli bombing that kills civilians.
Missile Stocks Are The Real Limiting Factor

- Davis warns U.S. interceptors and offensive missiles are critically low after supporting Israel and Ukraine, risking strategic vulnerability.
