Iran democratically elected a socialist leader, Mohammad Mosaddegh, in 1952. The US (and UK) didn't like that, so they ushered a coup and installed the Shah, a brutal dictator, in 1953. Then in 1979, Iranians had enough of his bullshit and overthrew the government with the Islamic Revolution, voting in Ruhollah Khomeini as the new Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Have we ever once considered that the reason why certain sovereign nations in the world behave the way they do was because sometime in the 20th century, the US interrupted their progress towards socialism. See also Latin and South America.

Maybe the US should just stop interfering with other countries and let the people decide what's best.

The reason Iran has a dictatorship is because America overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran and installed and a brutal dictator Shah in his place.

Still Iran has never initiated a war.

They had a pretty good reputation up until 1953 when they started meddling with Korea. ever since they have stuck their nose in other peoples business. say Vietnam, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc. And if you think well those were all countries that were failing so America tried to help them but they wouldn't accept the help or something to that extent - congratulations, you are a sucker for decades long American propaganda.

It looked like a good country but has been doing the same thing. CIA propaganda isn't working anymore like it used to.

USA has been at war 240 out of 250 years of its existence.

Such good guys they are

but is that reputation based on geniunely good things, or spin and propaganda?

I mean, that is the only way to be legally gay there - change your gender so that whatever you're attracted to now is the opposite gender. No way this increases the number of gender surgeries to be more than it should be, absolutely not!

I dunno, why you asking me?

I miss planned shows with a satisfying ending in mind from the start. Too many shows overstay their welcome just because it keeps making a little money. Go out strong. Now I'm not saying that it would've been perfect, but what would've been wrong with making that cold war, imminent threat of nuclear annihilation plotline lead up to the series finale like 50 years ago? The current plotline is really just a Reagan plotline reboot with some tweaks, and it was already boring and stupid the first time. What's that, trump is firing people again? The "you're fired" guy is firing people again. Fucking snore.
