Don’t let the British off the hook. Their hands were just as dirty.
A surprising amount of americans enemies (most of them) are the direct heirs to american (and/or british) installed regimes.
Nobody hates the USA without a reason. All the anti americanism in the world exists because the US has been systematically fucking over other countries without mercy. Looks like people don’t like oppressors who exploit them …
So? What kind of pro Iranian bullshit is this? Fuck the Imamate.
So an article that documents CIA blowback is pro Iranian? Thats a hell of a knee jerk
Well thinking genocide is bad makes you antisemitic now so yeah it tracks unfortunately 🤣
My favorite has been the shift in the definition of ‘nuanced’ to mean “the singular date in recent history that lets me assign blame in one direction and ignoring everything else”… somehow always used in a patronizing tone by someone who thinks Colonization was actually good because it brought us the iphone
I don’t think the point is to laud today’s Iran, but to pinpoint that the shit is happening today is consequence of the actions of the U.S. of yesteryear.
So when Americans say “why do they hate us?” it’s not really because of their freedoms.

If you can get it, read (or listen to) “All the Shahs Men” it tells the story of the iranian revolution and the shenanigans that led up to it. Who would have thought a dude hiding under a pile of coats in the back seat of a car could so dramatically alter the course of world events.
Last half year everybody got a crash course on why America is know as “The Great Satan” in the Middle East.
I remember getting the same crash course after 9/11.
(Maybe not the best phrasing.)
Neat, so everyone that says that is honoring their gods in the CIA.
Interesting!
