“For regime change, Trump needs boots on the ground, and I don’t think America has that”: former Colonel Housen on attacks on Iran

That has never been possible in the past hundred years.” With that sharp observation, former Colonel Roger Housen immediately places a major question mark on the American strategy in Iran. While President Donald Trump calls for a popular uprising and regime change in a video message, Housen warns that there is a lack of the necessary ground troops to maintain order after the bombings and prevent a power vacuum.
