So, let me get this straight...We stuck our nose in and denied them the right to handle their own affairs as a nation in the 1950's. It caused a poor attitude toward us. I realize it was a long time ago, but it seems we are doing it again. The Ayatollah is a nutcase and man, oh man, would I like to be a fly on the wall if Trump gets the meeting with him that he has supposedly requested. Talk about legendary. Two nuts spraying spit at each other.This "mess" was created by Iran. Not Carter, not Trump, not any American president.
Some of them have handled it wrong but it wasn't started by them.
Good show. It's not hard to tell around here which of us reads history for context and which run in to be blogparrots.
Our relations today with Iran and their nutball religious ruling class, given our alliance with Israel, would be much better today, had we not taken a side that one time in the 1950s.
And you believe that?
The nutball religious element was already suppressed with Mosaddegh. We undid that and installed a dick-tator. Guess what reaction countries have under dick-tators. Guess who fills the vacuum when they get chased.
Go look at my thread on Guatemala to see where they did the same thing. Oh wait, you can't do that, as the site has "disappeared" it. Wonder why.
As I said in the post quoted --- you can tell who reads historical context and who doesn't. The latter generally have no deeper argument than "and you believe that?".
Whatever the fuck. This post will soon be "disappeared" as well, so FUCK IT.
