Actually I think this is going to be more like when we armed ISIS to take out Assad, or put Saddam Hussein in power, or like when we armed and trained people like Bin Laden, or when we carved up the middle east after WWI, and so on.
This interventionist stuff blows back up in our faces more often than not. I see it as throwing money and lives down the toilet.
And I see that course of action as a grave error. So, here we are.
But I would add that toppling this regime is far different than arming proxies, if done the way that I would do it.
