Usually yes, but have you seen how smart Iran is with their propaganda? The know we all (Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Americas) hate the politicians and oligarchs of the US. And they use this weapon quite successfully. CIA shitting their pants right now.

Iran democratically elected a socialist leader, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in 1952. The US (and UK) didn’t like that, so they ushered a coup and installed the Shah, a brutal dictator, in 1953. Then in 1979, Iranians had enough of his bullshit and overthrew the government with the Islamic Revolution, voting in Ruhollah Khomeini as the new Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Have we ever once considered that the reason why certain sovereign nations in the world behave the way they do was because sometime in the 20th century, the US interrupted their progress towards socialism. See also Latin and South America.
Maybe the US should just stop interfering with other countries and let the people decide what’s best.

How free and fair was that vote?
BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 3 months ago
The reason Iran has a dictatorship is because America overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran and installed and a brutal dictator Shah in his place.
Still Iran has never initiated a war.

Not really. USA actually had a pretty good reputation after WW2 and before wars in ME. For quite some time, US actually looked like a good country.
BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 3 months ago
It looked like a good country but has been doing the same thing. CIA propaganda isn’t working anymore like it used to.
USA has been at war 240 out of 250 years of its existence.
Such good guys they are Image

They had a pretty good reputation up until 1953 when they started meddling with Korea. ever since they have stuck their nose in other peoples business. say Vietnam, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc. And if you think well those were all countries that were failing so America tried to help them but they wouldn’t accept the help or something to that extent - congratulations, you are a sucker for decades long American propaganda.

it’s almost like taking in all those Nazi’s after WW2 was a bad idea…
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 3 months ago
Valid.
reksas@sopuli.xyz 3 months ago
but is that reputation based on geniunely good things, or spin and propaganda?
Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 months ago
USA has killed way more than any other nation since WWII which they had a hand in causing. Trust me, USA has a horrible reputation as the number one human rights abuser ever.

I dunno, there’s been some pretty fucking bad genocides about the place over the years, as well as shit like Stalin and Mao.
When it comes to killing other countries people, they might be.

america/UK is the reason why Iran turned out this way.
