    USA relied on France to gain independence from Britain. Hell the former Iranian president was working with USA to free his own country from tyranny

      Ho Chi Minh thought the US would help him liberate his country from French colonial rule because the US claims to care about freedom and self-determination

        Perhaps everyone should have seen that the liberty and justice for all was not true from the start. Yes, better than others at times, but still so much violence, betrayal, lies, brutality, etc. which was hypocritical to the supposed values, others they failed to do: turn the other cheek, help the needy and outcasts, first will be last, love thy neighbors…

      Mohammed Pahlavi was Shah, not President, and he was a tyrannical autocrat himself. One of the royal titles for the Shah is literally “Center of the Universe” lmao

        Wow you are not current with your events. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in communications with the United States about becoming leader when the government was toppled

      Ahmadinejad was picked by the US to be the next head of government. Until they bombed him to shit. There is no evidence beyond that for collaboration. Hell, Ahmadinejad was one of the most oppressive PMs Iran had, not that PMs have much influence on day to day politics anyway.

      The USA got it’s freedom from Britain hundreds of years ago. The world has changed a lot since then. It’s also one thing to get help from a country when requested or they a offer and it’s accepted, vs blowing up a country and claiming it’s providing them freedom. It’s not an apples to apples comparison.
