    It is, but not all change is positive change. The replacement could be fascism, or US vassals (setting the stage for Islamic Republic 2.0), or literally anything other than a healthy democracy, and a war of national survival does not at all bode well for the latter possibility. There is such a thing as good conditions and bad conditions for democracy.

      I mean… We can guess around whether it gets better or worse. We don’t yet…

      Maybe, the replacement kills tens of thousands of protesters, too… Maybe, they won’t…

        Can I get an example of when foreign invasions have ever been good for the country being invaded? When has that ever been good for the citizens of said country?

            You got me, though I’d argue they repelled a foreign invasion and did not lose to the foreign invaders. That’s on me for not being explicit though
