Drawing historical parallels from Gaddafi to Iraq, and touching on Machiavellian, transactional politics, Chris questions claims of “regime change,” warns about unintended consequences, and urges skepticism toward Washington’s credibility.This is not about drugs. It’s not about humanitarian outrage. It’s about oil, power, and geopolitics—and Americans should be cautious about what comes next.
