American Greatness

THE UNITED STATES does not like it when its subordinate client states misbehave, disobey. In America, might makes right, and we the voluntarily brainwashed have always been perfectly willing and happy to suck up the spoon fed garbage in our hagiographic history classes about American greatness, American values, America's crusade to spread good throughout the world, and eliminate evil. When Iran decided to nationalize its oil reserves in 1953 the British and the Americans were very unhappy, since the British and American governments, like all other European governments, are owned an controlled by corporate interests like British petroleum, Inc, and Standard Oil Inc. American corporations wanted the oil, so the government of Iran with replaced, regime changed as we like to say today, with the Shah of Iran, an American puppet, taking over in a dictatorship, a dictatorship amenable to American corporate control of Iran resources. The shah was such an agreeable puppet of the United States that for his entire reign, the U.S. actively assisted Iran in the development of nuclear weapons, encouraging Iran to acquire them, which it never did. Iranian students in nuclear physics were features on campuses such as Harvard and M.I.T., guests of the United States. My, how things have changed. All was well in the Untied States of Aggression until 1979, when the Iran masses overthrew the Shah and replaced him with the Islamic theocracy we know today. The new government promptly made it abundantly clear that Iran's days of serving as an American puppet state were over, and it has admirably backed up its bold talk aver since. Relations between the two countries has been bad ever since. now a trumped up American armada, aircraft carrier and all, is heading towards Iranian waters, precisely because the Untied States still thinks it should control Iran, only now, Iran instead of being required to develop atomic bombs, it is prohibited from doing so. If I were an Iranian, I would think the United States is afflicted by some sort of bi polar insanity, and i would be right. We do not merely want Iran and North Korea to not have atomic bombs, We want everybody to not have them, we want them eliminated from the planet, and you agree with that, even if you think you don't. The treaty we signed with Iran under Obama, which included fiver other super power nations, was a perfectly acceptable agreement, its only flaw being that it failed to eliminate all nuclear bombs from the planet. but, it was better than nothing. Now we have Trump, totally screwing it all up. The lunatic is likely to get us into a war with China and Iran, at the same time. What we really need, of course, is global agreements to eliminate all nuclear weapons, to reverse climate change, toe cure diseases and explore space, together, as a single human race. Unfortunately, Trump and his maniac gangster supporters would rather bleat about making America great again, while actually making America stupid, angry, aggressive, isolationist, nationalistic, and destructive to us all. Not long ago Henry Kissinger, when asked why on earth the United States would have ever wanted Iran to become armed with nuclear bombs, responded: "They were our friends then."
