02.03.2026 13:39 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Speaking of precedents, Obama didn't pay any political price (and possibly on net earned political capital) by enabling Gaddafi's ouster then walking away. (Bengazi notwithstanding). But there's likely a big difference between doing that to a nation of 6 million vs one of 100 million.
02.03.2026 13:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0But probably the most apt precedent for Iran is Russia, where things after the revolution just steamrolled all existing ancien regime social & power structures, making the return of a royal family impossible (but also, probably setting up the path for a strongman once the revolution does falter)
02.03.2026 13:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0There are some precedents for heirs of a previous regime to come back in power after a revolution. Both the Bourbons and the Bonapartes did it in France. And as people have said, Bongbong did is in the Philippines and Fujimori's kid had/has a credible shot in Peru.

01.03.2026 19:07 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I caught the premiere, it did a decent job of briefly explaining every character's archetype (and also, how some of those archetypes are now a product of a past era). It's also probably useful to understand that Zach Braff's flights of the imagination were also a third of the show in the first run.
