Let’s not forget the shah of Iran who was brought into power by us and in his delusions of grandeur thought he was Darius reincarnated. His dreaded Savak tortured and killed hundreds of dissidents. The excesses of his regime birthed the ayatollah.
We being champions of democracy deliberately overlook barbarities of Saudi Arabia. Why? House of Saud a nomadic tribe, was established by the Brits as kings for their own expedience. Furthermore, the Indian subcontinent was chopped up willy nilly as the brits exited.
A complete mess. Two wings of a Muslim nation, east ( now Bangladesh) and west Pakistan separated by a swath of India!
Let’s not forget how holocaust survivors were shuttled around the seven seas because no one wanted them, for two years! Finally Palestinians were forcibly displaced to make room for them. We all know how that turned out. Two generations of Palestinians have suffered unconscionable living conditions and Israel is hellbent on genocide. At this point I’ll say that Arab nations I have little or no respect for. They do nothing except consume tawdry trinkets and put Caligula to shame.
Disgraceful.
The west is the quintessential villain of geopolitics.
