Stupid People Repeating History

Everything happening in Iran traces back to the American and British governments staging a coup in Iran in 1953, because the government nationalized the oil industry. The CIA and MI6 installed a puppet, the Shah. That did not sit well with the Iranian people. The Shah and his secret police, the SAVAK brutally suppressed dissent until they no longer could. The Iranian Revolution was the result, bringing about the theocratic quasi-dictatorship that isn't terribly popular in its own right.

The neo-cons may achieve their wet dream of regime change, having converted "no more wars" tRump to their view. But then what? We're not going to be able to occupy a country of 92 million people, not unless we send the entire army. For it's prety evident that nobody's going to help us this time around in occupation duty. The resentment that will follow will persist into the 22nd Century.

And while the U.S. is then fully tied up fucking around in Iran, China may see its chance to deal with Taiwan.
