Gulf War No.37: Iranistan

Since this crosses over a few threads, let's keep this one in one place, as I suspect it won't just stop when Taco Donnie walks away. Though it would be nice if I'm wrong and this is a very short thread.

Some history

On 19 August 1953, Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup d'état that strengthened the rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the shah of Iran. It was instigated by the United Kingdom (MI6), under the name Operation Boot[5][6][7][8] and the United States (CIA), under the name TP-AJAX Project[9] or Operation Ajax. A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalized the country's oil industry.

During the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988), Iraq engaged in chemical warfare against Iran on multiple occasions, including more than 30 targeted attacks on Iranian civilians. Iran employed its own chemical warfare against Iraq on a few occasions during the war as well.[1] Iraq's attacks represented the third deadliest use of chemical weapons in history, following The Holocaust and chemical warfare in World War I. Originally using mustard gas alone, in 1984 Iraq initiated the first verified combat use of nerve agents in history, beginning with tabun before moving to sarin.[2]

...
Though the use of chemical weapons in international armed conflict was banned under the Geneva Protocol, much of the international community remained indifferent to the attacks; Iraq's military campaign in Iran was supported by the United States and the Soviet Union, both of whom had sought to contain Iranian influence after the Islamic Revolution of 1979

Trump really does think everyone should bow to him and pay homage, doesn't he?

After ten years his actions still appall and horrify me.

Meanwhile more innocent people are dying.

FFS.

I don't think you have to have all ten of these traits to be considered to be a malignant narcissist. Trump is the bigliest.

China come out on the side of Iran. This may get "interesting".

Has Trump just started a world war?

Has Trump just started a world war?

Well, as he's the Peace President, maybe it's the war to end all wars. Needs a catchy name... how about 'The Great War'? That one hasn't been taken, has it?

 

[briantrumpet]

If it has, maybe 'The Greatest War Ever', which be more Trumpian.
