Too easy to go past the root cause of everything. In 1951, Iran's Prime Minister Mosaddegh nationalized Iran's oil industry which was largely controlled by a British corporation the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Britain and close ally United States then and now were concerned about the nationalization of anything in foreign lands which they could not control. And they orchestrated a joint coup known as 'Operation Ajax' by the CIA and Operation Boot by MI6, which successfully overthrew Mosaddegh's government and restored the Shah to power. Until the 1979 revolution rightly returned Iran's interests to Iran.

Well "Balance" I did not write that oil is never a motivating factor in these cases, I simply said it is the all too easy go to of the left.
And Trump's response seemed to me, as JK notes, very natural. He seems pissed off with the lot of them and appears to want peace.
If I had written that "oil is never a motive for foreign intervention" your response would have been apt.
As it stands, my old sausage, you are just arguing with yourself... |

If this is directed wholly or partly at me Hedda I would note that my post speculated on Trump's motivation for bombing Iran, not on whether he should have done so.
There is no praise of Trump in my post; just a reflection that I and others may have been too cynical about what motivates him.
I loathe him too; but loathing makes us blind to the full person.
No WYOT not at you. To be honest I don't always fully read other's posts.
And lets not forget Joe Biden who had 4 years to re-activate the Iranian Nuclear deal but did sod all.
Really Trump is solving a problem he created in the first place but Biden shares as much blame. |
