Comments on: The US Started It (Part 1) https://whynow.dumka.us/2020/01/06/the-us-started-it-part-1/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 09 Jan 2020 01:29:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2020/01/06/the-us-started-it-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-88904 Thu, 09 Jan 2020 01:29:30 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=44358#comment-88904 In reply to Badtux.

That’s because the idea worked so well in Greece. Spain, Greece, and Iran would have all pissed off my Dad. I doubt he would have been thrilled knowing that the US was supporting fascists after his time spent in the Plexiglas nose of a B-24 bombing Nazis. The Truman Doctrine – support any thug who can say: “I oppose communism.”

That arrived on the same day that the Iranian military proclaimed its neutrality and either went home or stayed in its barracks, having been traumatized by being used to shoot students in the streets. This memo came to light because even though shredded when the military attache fled the country, this was before cross-cut shredders so the Iranians pieced it back together. Which was one reason why they despised the Saintly Peanut Farmer and refused to release the hostages to him (and no deal with a treasonous Reagan was necessary for that, though they had no problem with Reagan’s treasonous deal when he proposed it).
