Mark Dubowitz @mdubowitz I’ve advocated for Iran regime change for 22 years. But success would be a militarily decisive victory that leaves the regime in place—but with its deadly capabilities severely degraded. And then a phase two: maximum pressure, max support and max fracturing to bring it down. 3:55 PM · Mar 11, 2026 · 63.2K Views https://x.com/mdubowitz/status/2031821419051446699?s=20

There is a persistent myth in America that the country would have bombed enough to win every war if it wasn't for the liberals "tying our hands." Sort of the Dirty Harry theory. It was particularly acute during the hyper-militaristic 1980s- Rambo asking, "Do we get to win this time?" etc.

again, both tactically and strategically, the American right wing suffers enormously from its complete lack of theory of mind for individuals and groups even the slightest bit different from them

turns out that the goals of "get foreign populace to rise up at great personal risk against a legitimately oppressive and evil regime" and "lethalitymaxxing without regard for human life, civilian infrastructure, or that populace's cultural treasures" are not entirely congruent with one another

EXCLUSIVE Trump Ordered Justice Department Reversal on Law Firm Sanctions " never signed off on that, the president told aides WILMERHALE WH The WilmerHale law firm was involved in one of the cases.

"At the president's direction, the Department of Justice quickly amended this filing," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Leavitt said the president had confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who were serving the department "honorably." A Justice Department spokeswoman referred to the White House statement. Before Trump's intervention, top department officials believed they had signoff from the White House Counsel's Office and Trump's top aides to drop the case. But Trump himself hadn't been told of the decision, the people said, and has a longstanding modus operandi in legal matters: never drop a case willingly. Many other White House aides have wanted the issue to go away for months.

Per WSJ’s new reporting, it appears that DOJ, White House Counsel’s Office, and “top aides” tried to stop defense of the law firm EOs without directly telling Trump?

more generally, ideologically-constrained culture warriors deeply misunderstand what everyday people want out of anything commonly thought to give life meaning, whether it be art, religion, relationships and sex, and so on

The fundamental mistake that the conservative legal movement made in looking at the Warren Court was assuming that it was all power and zero parts persuasion, so all they had to do was capture the institution. They were, I think, half right, but that other half is very important.

The One Political Bias To Avoid More Than Any Other Motivated Causal Attribution

We explain political change using totally different causal models if we approve of outcome of not:

1. Change we like is organic, bottom-up genuine expression of public demand

2. Change we dislike is artificial, top-down result of manipulative elite

I’m calling this Motivated Causal Attribution

Once again, the culture warriors deeply misunderstand the deep underlying psyche of the British people. The British people were offered nice animals and they overwhelmingly favoured nice animals.
