How We PO'd Iran

Actually, how England made the US their cat's paw so that the US would be the primary Bad Guy and England would try to look innocent.  Here Wauck quotes Jeff Sachs:

..."In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected and popular prime minister named [Mohammad] Mosaddegh.

The British secret service, MI6, and the US CIA teamed up to overthrow the Iranian government and to install a police state—why?

Because Britain wanted control over Iranian oil to continue.

Britain had been essentially the imperial power of the region.

Then came a democratically elected government after World War II that had the audacity to think that maybe that oil had something to do with Iran, not just with Britain.

And so, the Brits and the Americans said, 'Time to overthrow this guy. We don't allow people to have their own thoughts about their own country's interests.'*

That is one of the first of what became dozens and dozens of US regime change operations.

It's notable because MI6—and the British imperial behavior—was the mentor of the CIA on how to do it....

And here all this time you thought that the 1776 thing was supposed to separate the US from Britain.  That "special relationship" fawned over by various Presidents is special, indeed:  we get to make enemies on behalf of England.

And pay for it, too!!

*Note that The Blob/Deep State is nothing if not consistent.  You, too, are not allowed to have your own thoughts about your own country's interests.
