Never Rule Out Options
Maintaining flexibility in strategic decision-making is essential; ruling out potential courses of action can lead to reduced options and unintended consequences, as demonstrated by the Biden administration's approach. This lack of ambiguity may embolden adversaries like Putin. Acknowledging military limitations is vital, especially regarding the scale and complexity involved in potential interventions like invading Iran, which has significant geographic and demographic considerations. The responsibility to drive regime change ultimately lies with the Iranian people, though external conditions can influence this process. Targeted military operations can weaken a regime and mitigate nuclear threats, reflecting the importance of having a diverse set of strategies available to national powers unimpaired by self-imposed limitations.
