Given some of the recent rumblings by the warmongers in this country, it's important we look back at history and remember why Iran is they way it is today. Of particular interest is the fact that the Shah opposed radical Islam, the Ayatollah was in exile during his rule. And Iran also put a serious dent into the heroin trade in the Middle East. Ohh, yeah.. Iran also opposed central banking...
What really happened is that Jimmuh Carter decided to enforce his Human Rights bullshit just as the Shah was facing a combined Communist-Islamist insurgency.
The Ayatollahs purged all the Liberals, Communists, the latter of which for some reason was allowed into the US and makes up a segment of secular Iranians who hate America.
The Ayatollahs went on to send poor kids to run over landmines, and then executed 8000 people in 1988-1989 after the Iran-Iraq War, including 13-year olds.
Every Iranian I have ever known in USA is rich. You can tell they are rich, even when they do the usual thing of having assets parked offshore while collecting welfare. They managed to wring a lot of wealth out of the country before they bailed. They also have a Game of Thrones type of murderous aristocratic outlook.
The US fucked up the middle east after the British were done fucking it up. We fucked Iran up and handed it to the religious nuts. We fucked up Iraq handing it over to a crazy dictator that we ended up going to war with. We created the terrorists that would later attack us in Afghanistan to fight Russian proxy war. We still support SA even though they support terrorists that attack us and spread their fucked up religion around the world. Some on here need to understand this or your just as bad as the wacko left. These countries hate us and we should GTFO and leave them be we have no business there unless we are going to come out and be honest that this is all just to keep them destabilized enough to control and to keep our military budget up. Just because one may seem to be or is an enemy doesn’t make them wrong 100% of the time that’s just stupidity and being dishonest.
