On January 13th, Donald Trump indicated “Help is on the way” for Iranian protestors. Allegedly tens of thousands (!) of dead protestors later, which would be approaching Nazi-style Babi Yar massacre numbers if correct, what is the POTUS going to do? Help how? Realistically what can he do that would meaningfully change things for the better for the protestors, if anything?

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Even earlier than Jan 13, IIRC, Trump said the US stood with the protestors and warned the Mullahs not to do anything rash.
It all comes down to how good our intel is…and whether our Israeli friends will share theirs. If the intel is good enough, we can take out the Mullahs. Personally, I’d shoot (literally) for much more than just the Ayatollah, in fact, we could skip the old bastard and go for the jugular, the IRGC. We MUST have good intel on the location of their “barracks”. I doubt they are garrisoned in some nice, cruise missile friendly compound. Unfortunately.
What is the current location of the US Navy carrier strike force I read was headed to the Persian Gulf?
