We're supposed to be civil on this forum. Attack the post and not the poster.
Bernie said America attacked governments in Chile, Iran, and Guatemala. He didn't give any context, making America seem like an insane sociopath loose in the world.
Hardly a trait we want in a president.
I did attack
your posts. They are largely BS. You trade in BS, as evidenced by the FACT that you do not remember which BS talking point you laid out earlier, and the FACT that Visbek detected severe contradiction in your trajectory.
Go ahead and interpret that as lack of civility, I am not going to bother arguing with you about whether you can or can't handle your BS being exposed for what it is. And as long as you continue to view debate as some kind of Super Bowl, you will continue to feel stung when someone calls out your BS. Maybe try not BS-ing, for a change. It is easier to keep track of stuff that has some basis in fact, it just means that sometimes, you might be
"GASP!!" wrong.
America's sociopathy
was guided and motivated by the mindset that doesn't care what the outcome is for the people who live in countries that they targeted for overthrow. We do so much business with the Communist Chinese that we're sunk if they sink, but we thought nothing of overthrowing lesser countries because their politics
(which were NOT originally "communistical" [sic] until we drove them INTO the arms of the Communists) were an inconvenience.
Mossadegh was democratically elected.
It's up to you to determine the historical context because being knowledgeable about history is your responsibility.
These events are not a secret. Anyone who opens a World History book can find them.
Read the interview I posted
with former neighbor William Helseth that I already linked to. Even Helseth admits that all of this served our needs with no regard to the needs of the Iranian people. Mossadegh had the balls to suggest that, absent a square deal, all that oil in the ground ultimately belong to the Iranian people. That was all it took for MI-5 and CIA to decide to dispense with him and install Shah Reza Pahlavi, or "reinstall", depending on who is describing the history.
I mention he's a former neighbor because I was school chums with his son Glen, and I remember him and his family living in our Bethesda neighborhood for a few years, then shuttling off to Iran, then Turkey, then Afghanistan, and then arriving back in the same Bethesda home they originally lived in.
When they first moved away, he resembled Ralphie, the kid in "A Christmas Story".
When they arrived back from Iran he looked like any ordinary blond teenage kid.
First thing he said was that they had to move back in a hurry "because the government collapsed in "Eye-Ran". [sic] (Iran)
Today he manages a restaurant in the Williamsburg Historical Recreation Area in Virginia.
