Failed in Vietnam too. It has failed every time it has been tried.

Iran in 2026 is not comparable to Vietnam in 1970

Its a good argument if you welcome an Iranian victory though.

The legacy media tells him to support anything that could potentially make, Trump/Israel look bad.
I think he just goes along with it because he trusts them when they say his acceptance makes him a nice person.
A classic NPC.

You're right, the level of bombing the US can and would carry out is far lighter now.

But for other examples: it failed in the Chechen wars, Syria, Gaza, Yugoslavia, Russians invasions of Ukraine, Afghanistan and Gulf War 1. It's easy to list conflicts where bombing failed to achieve regime change or people to crumble and surrender, because it's pretty much every war.

The bombing didn't topple any regimes, infantry invasion was needed to do that, and they mostly failed too.

Regime change has already occurred

Not meaningfully, people within the regime have changed but structurally it's the same one, just a bit more militant and pro nuke.

The first Gulf war involved a land invasion of Iraq.

Find me an example since WW2 of a successful bombing campaign alone that led to surrender or overthrow of a hostile regime to be replaced by a friendly one. Any example, no matter how poor.

That would be a good start, although it isn't a great example as there is no significant organised opposition at the moment.
