“Put one of your cronies at the top of another country’s government” Do you mean US meddling in Iran in 1953 or the other way around today?

“Put one of your cronies at the top of another country’s government”
Do you mean US meddling in Iran in 1953 or the other way around today?
- hannasanarion 7y agoWhy do you think the CIA kept Operation Ajax a secret from the American public until 1992?
- gherkinnn 7y ago;) It wasn’t until 2017 that Britain released documents on their part in Operation Boot.
- hannasanarion 7y agoAnd you think they kept it secret just for fun? You think that if the American and British publics were told in 1953 "We're gonna go overthrow another country's government and install a brutal dictatorship because their democratic government is threatening BP's profit margins", the public would've given them a thumbs up?
- gherkinnn 7y agoOh no. No fun intended. I just wasn’t able to get what OP meant without that clarification.
