This asshole is telling you that we can do a regime change in Iran without even spending money. He's overselling so hard it's absurd. We're already on the hook for defending Israel right now. Money has already been spent.
If he says he doesn't need our soldiers or tax dollars, then what is he asking from us? If he simply doesn't want to go to war with us then what's the problem here?
Well if he later asks us for free stuff and we oblige then that would be pretty stupid on our part, but considering the recent buzz about going to war against Iran, this message could be interpreted as him just wanting us to lower our guns.
No he’s trying to do the same thing that is promised before every occupation, do you remember the original Afghanistan and Iraq timeline presented to the American public?
Ah yes, the Iranian-ex-pats who will be our "government in a box". I remember this from Iraq.
The number of these guys we had to arrest after installing them in government was appalling. Iraq was better ruled under random US divisional commanders than it was under the ex-pats. That's really saying something.

He's trying so hard to make regime change sound easy and painless that he left out the part where he asks for something.

He's asking for "isolation", though its unclear exactly what that is but likely economically, as their oil has been wrecked.
Moreover he seems to be saying it is a moral issue. I suspect also this is a play to get himself formally recognized.
Im pretty sure he's trying to not be left ruling over a rubble pile.

Hes specifically saying he doesn't want military action, and instead "isolation".
He’s a used car salesman that will say anything to be given power. Does he currently have the power and military to enforce his desires?
That doesn't seem to be his concern at present. I think he's looking to not level the place while he works through loyalists there.
Anything that deescalates is good imo.
He’s an Israeli puppet, this is no different than the dumbass we were totally going to replace Saddam with and have a peaceful transfer to democracy.
I mean, maybe? But if he's calling for no military intervention isn't that a good thing and counter to the Israeli message?
Well, he's a dumbass then.

AHMED CHALABI
That's the big one I was thinking of!
As long as we aren't sending our soldiers Im happy. They can switch sides all they want.
I have never been a Monarchist, but I know many here are. Hoping for this one at least to bring some sanity back.
He won't.
