Unfortunately in this situation it’s true. Look up “Iran in the 60s” on google, looks like many European countries. But the government decided the US couldn’t have any oil, so the CIA instigated a military coup against the government and helped put a US friendly dictator in place. That dictator and his government was weak, and the hyper hardcore Muslim government in power now moved in and seized power easily.

For the mollah in power it is….

Few country can say usa have some impact on their situation : « chili, irak, iran » (and a big part of country invade by isis).
