Trump talks too much if you ask me.

His threats are losing impact because he makes them but doesn't follow through. If he's going to bomb them back to the paleolithic he needs to do it or stop talking about it. Iran no longer fears him; they think they've weathered the worst.

He needs to have a new strategy. It's clear he's not driving the Mullahs out of power by squeezing them economically.

These people are not in it for money, nor for even power. Theirs is a religious ideology and the only way to crush them is to make it clear to them that their religious faith will be destroyed if they persist. They are pragmatic enough to realize they may need to do what is necessary for their 12erism to survive to fight another day. Until they feel that they will hang on and the Iranian People have no choice as they saw what happens when you rise up against the theocrats; 40,000 of them dead! Nobody is going to dare rebel after that.

And of course they have nothing to fight with either.

At any rate I am with Yoda from The Empire Strikes Back "do, or do not". Trump has to start making it clear he can really, really hurt them. They think they can outlast him. They may be right too if the American People don't wake up.
