    It’s by design though. US policy has destroyed the Iranian middle class (you know, the exact people who would otherwise do the regime-changing). The whole point is to cause desperation and despair which they can take advantage of. It’s the same method that was used against castles and city-states in the middle ages.

      Yes. I think ruling by desperation and despair is the method of new superpowers. Almost all over the world, people are hopeless and depressed and news and politicians keep reinforcing it.
