Regime change, from Iran, to Syria, to Iran?

A masterful piece (by a master journalist, Patrick Lawrence) on how western regime change operations since WWII led to the HTS takeover of Syria.  He delineates between earlier surgical Iran Model coups and the later Jakarta Model in which a million deaths from mass violence were acceptable to American planners.  That continued in Chile, then in Afghanistan challenging the Soviet-aligned secular regime.  No one should have been confused by the earlier Syrian civil war (2011-2019) which was straight out of the same playbook, except that the Russians by (actually) bombing ISIS ultimately saved the Syrian government.  But it was premature then to say it was over, obviously it can be said now.  This time neither Russia nor Iran helped (with plenty of reasons on their sides).  But now, clearly, Iran is next.  One would hope this madness would come to an end, but there's no end in sight.
