everything was hunky-dory until 1953. thatโs when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment โ Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil โ by nationalizing Iranโs oil industry. our CIA and Britainโs MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.
the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 โ and thatโs how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.
thatโs why weโre in this mess right now โ because we couldnโt leave well enough alone 73 years ago.
did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power โ that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

Jr. and Eric think we won't notice this while Daddy is setting the ME on fire, doing war crimes, jacking up gas prices and tanking the stock market. They might be right.

Exclusive | Trump Sons Back New Drone Company Targeting Pentagon Sales
Powerus says it plans to acquire Ukrainian drone technology to sell to the U.S. military.
Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the Presidentโs family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

This is your daily reminder for all who supported this current occupant in The White House.
He's literally a felon holding this country hostage.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them.
Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does.
Weโve become accepting of pure lies
