Similar shit happening in North Korea. Should the US go there next?

Regime change was NOT the goal, right? Wasn't that the party line?

No one goes for NK because they have nuke. The exact situation the US/Israel try to prevent for Iran.
This is Saddam's WMDs all over again.
Regime change isn't the goal per se, but disarmament is. Angry mullahs without missiles and nukes are harmless.
Whoever told you this was lying to you. Trump released a statement on the first night of the war explicitly stating that regime change was the goal. Disarmament is the new goal he fabricated when the first one didn't work.
I don't think there's any point in digging into soil to implant the goal posts anymore, because they'll be moved in 6 hours. Best to just use a couple of shills to hold them up.
and N Korea is sidelined by the USA because N Korea does not have anything we 'want' i.e. oil gold silver rare earth......
