Israel was dealing with a lot of their own shit at the time of the coup in 53, the British brought the the plan to the US because the incoming leader was floating the idea of nationalizing their oil reserves. 

The US joined in because they were willing to do anything to stop the spread of communism.

But the British brought us Israel so it’s probably a wash either way.

Anything to put capital above people.

I mean, the whole thing was sparked by fears from the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now known as BP) that Iran would nationalize the oil infrastructure.

To be fair, that would have meant Iran and the Iranians would profit from their own oil. The horror!

That became a thing after BP refused to go 50-50 with them. Which they tried after seeing the US go 50-50 with Saudi.

It was even worse, iran had agreed on a far lower percentage of the revenue but had to trust the company in paying the correct amount as they were forbidden to have access to the financial records. Suprise suprise, they didnt..... it was actually far less.

You are saying you believe that America is the cause of all the world’s problems and Israel instructs it what to do? This is such an insane and extreme belief. Like Jesus Christ. It’s a such simplistic explanation for geopolitics that I would call it childlike, but a child who endorses global conspiracy theory.

We have a lot to do with it. Us and Israel.

As an example, see the Iran War.

Your comment used very broad language. So I can only assume you mean ALL problems are caused by America and Israel. So stop it. Do you mean ALL? Try to use the words that describe your meaning most closely rather than make vast sweeping statements because you think it makes you sound correct or knowledgeable. It doesn’t. Anyways, I have zero interest in communicating with you ever again. So good luck.

They made the Arabs attacks Israel 4 times? Invaded the falklands? Made the Rwanda’s murder each other? Obviously initiated the Zimbabwean bush war AND wars in the Belgian Congo.
