The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he found it 'incredibly concerning' to hear senior staff from U.S. President Donald Trump’s office convey that the commander-in-chief is 'very serious' when he talks about annexing Canada.
As they say in Iran (and so many other nations), “death to America”
A significant percentage of young Iranian population is, due to being full of their theocratic leadership, full of love to America, and to Republicans even more than to Democrats, and in some sense because of Republicans seeming more likely to blow shit up. Doesn’t quite reach them that the USA will not be friendlier to Iran after that regime falls. It’s actually very convenient to have theocratic assholes in charge of a country that is very inconvenient for various logistical and military plans.
who overthrew the democratic government there and put in a dictator leading to theocratic leadership?
the USA will not be friendlier to Iran after that regime falls.
The US have never been friendly to anyone, they will have no misconceptions.
They are after all far better educated than americans.
And we’ll see if Iran falls before the US regime.
Looks like they’re not doing too great.
A monarch. Not a dictator. There’s a bit of difference with dictators, but it’s funny how for the western world monarchy seems to be the natural form of government in MENA and West Asia, and at the same time dictators are bad, very bad and should be dealt with.
That Islamic Revolution of theirs was kinda fine before mullahs took power. BTW, one of the mojahed parties took Saddam’s side in Iran-Iraq war and would recruit collaborationists, and the general sentiment of Iranians about them is like of Russians about ROA in WWII. And guess who’d the Iranian opposition USA tried to support - right, those guys. It sometimes seems American approaches to that region are just incompetence this big and not pure malice. But then one thinks about Turkey and Saudis and Israel being “the normal” countries for Americans there - and nah, it’s malice.
He certainly was a dictator. These 2 are not mutually exclusive.
As always the ones put in place by the west get good PR.
There was also nothing wrong with Mobutu or Saddam as long as they did what was asked.
Even Wikipedia (a usually western biased and manipulated source) admits this.
The Pahlavi dynasty—Reza Shah Pahlavi and his son Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi—has sometimes been described as a “royal dictatorship”,[2] or “one man rule”,[3] and employed secret police, torture, and executions to stifle political dissent. During Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi’s reign, estimates of the number of political prisoners executed vary from less than 100[1] to 300.
What I know from the ‘opposition’ the US supports is that they chose the MEK terrorists.
They simply took them of their own terror list since they can be used.
Same as they did with that horrible Jolani and his headchopper barbarians in Syria.

Yep, I didn’t say MEK because that’d be redundant information for a Lemmy thread.
And I agree about Jolani.
OK, it seems we agree in everything about Iran and USA.
