When asked about whether the U.S. has a plan on how to fill the power vacuum left by the death of the nation's supreme leader, Rubio reiterated that their goal was to destroy Iran's short-range ballistic missile capability and eliminate the threat posed by its navy.

"We hope that the Iranian people can overthrow this government," Rubio said. "We would love for that to be possible."

When asked directly if the U.S. will play any role in helping Iran with its government, Rubio shrugged and said, "we might."

So, these morons' grand plan is wishful thinking that random people in Iran, who are currently being bombed by 2 countries they hate the most will spontaneously organize a revolution, without having access to weapons (or any other resources) or/and without having any organizational capabilities. Right after they have been massacred by the very people they are supposed to fight.

How did you vote for these fucking morons, how can Americans be this fucking stupid? I could understand that lack of education is playing a part but thisstupid?

Incredible.
