    Iran elects popular leader who wants oil revenue to benefit his people instead of foreign interests -> US installs the Shah who is unpopular but friendly to US oil interests -> Iranian revolution of 1979 installs the current regime.

    And your solution to this is… more regime change? Shouldn’t the US have learned a lesson?

    Maybe a more recent lesson would make more sense?

    Iraq regime is unfriendly to the US - US takes out Saddam’s regime -> Rise of ISIS -> US has a huge mess to clean up now in both Iraq and Syria -> forever war continues.

    At what point do we admit that US interventions probably aren’t a good idea?

        We’re just about out of bombs. And money to pay for more bombs. We already cut food inspections, election security, and defenses against foreign hackers to pay for more bombs.

        And now we have food that will kill us, easily hackable infrastructure, and a fully corrupt administration that steals from idiots like you by lying about getting more bombs.

        Please crawl back into the movie Idiocracy, as you clearly missed your special Ed classes there.
