    I'm not debating that point. The point is who had the power in the country and Mossadegh had it. You also passed on the fact that the coup was AGAINST Mossadegh. You can call it leftist propaganda or whatever you want but those are the facts.

    Why, they are right in front of your face and you don't see them but...........here goes anyway.
    He has said out loud that it would be nice to be president for life, saying it would be “great”. He’s indicated often that he would not accept the outcome of an election he lost. He’s threatened to jail his political opponents. He has the dictators attitude to the truth – lying routinely, even about trivial matters, partly to demonstrate power. So great is his sway over his devotees, he can make them believe even what is provably false.
    He has the despot’s contempt for a free press, forever railing against the “fake news” media and all but abolishing the White House daily briefing, which at least aimed to hold successive administrations to account. He shows his abuse of power to pursue vendettas against the companies that own media organisations that he just doesn't like: seeking to raise postal charges on Amazon, as retaliation against the Washington Post, owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos; and moving to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger to hurt CNN.
    One of the worst was his encounter with Putin when the two men bonded over their shared loathing of journalists: "Get rid of them",” Trump said to his Kremlin counterpart, perhaps envious of the toll of 26 murdered journalists notched up in Russia during the Putin years.
    His disregard for the rule of law is also that of the autocrat. His aides simply ignores subpoenas to appear before Congress, then while in the name of his invented migrant “crisis” at the southern border, he became the first US president ever to declare a national emergency solely to circumvent the authority granted to Congress by the constitution and now to distract from his impeachment we have the Iran situation.
    They are all right there in front of you. Some are musings on his part (of course, he is insane) and some are actions.

    You're ill informed about who mossadegh was and what he was planning to do.
    Being elected doesn't give you carte blanche in doing whatever you want.

    Kurdistan region does not want removal of USA troops from Iraq and specially from their region:

    The US Assistant Secretary and Qubad Talabani, the Region’s deputy prime minister, agreed that “it is necessary to calm and contain the present situation in Iraq,” tweeted Talabani.

    Schenker also met with Masoud Barzani, leader of the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and former president of Kurdistan Region.

    The KDP leader emphasized the importance of continuing the status quo insofar as the presence of the U.S.-led coalition in concerned, adding that the threat of the terrorists of the Islamic State is still alarming."

    Kurdish lawmakers boycotted an Iraqi parliament session on Sunday, where it was decided to ask the government to expel foreign troops from the country. Kurdish leaders have said Iraq still needs coalition forces present to fight Islamic State (ISIS).

    And your foreign minister is calling for reinstatement of sanctions on top of the UN's

    "BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Germany, Britain and France should be ready to consider starting moves to reinstate international sanctions on Iran over breaches of its 2015 nuclear deal, Germany's foreign minister said on Monday."
    https://www.usnews.com/news/world/a...n-iran-over-nuclear-breaches-germany-suggests

    Yet you support this state sponsor of terrorism over the west.

    He called the so-called MSM the "enemy of the people" and he has a point.

    The deal is dead anyways. Maas knows that as well. Why should Iran hold to the deal when it does not profit from it.

    P.s. Maas is not " my foreign Minister". He is leftist scum that gets hunted out of east German cities. Want See a funny Video of him when He was in Zwickau and had to escape with screeching wheels because the people hunted him Out?

    Thing is, most Germans see USA as worse than Iran, China and even North Korea. You have a very negative Image over here and it spans over entire political spectrum. From far right to far left.

    No, no he doesn't and the fact that you think he does makes you irrelevant to this discussions.
    He's insane.

    Sorry but I don't think you speak for most Germans and the only negativity I am seeing is from you. I have been quite clear hat I think it was a great day that this terrorist leader was blown to bits.

    Actually not

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...-see-us-german-ties-as-negative-idUSKCN1PX1C7

    85% of Germans view USA negative

    BERLIN (Reuters) - Nearly 85 percent of Germans have a negative or very negative view of U.S.-German relations, and most want to put more distance between the traditionally close transaltantic allies, a new poll showed on Friday.

    Just over 40 percent of those polled view China as a better partner for Germany than the United States, the survey of around 5,000 people, conducted by Atlantik-Bruecke and the Civey institute in poll in November and December, showed.

    Ties between the United States and Germany, Europe’s largest economy, have been strained since the 2016 election of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has criticized Germany repeatedly for its trade practices, defense spending and its participation in the Russian-led Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.

    I dont support Iran. Im against double standards. I cant support Saudi Arabian vile regime and be against Iran. Iran is the only thing that acts against sunni wahabism in the region. A weakened Iran means a strong Saudi Arabia, which in turn means a strong ISIS. Its quite simple.

    Its in utmost importance to have a powerful Iran in the region to counter balance Saudi Arabia.

    Even your retarded president knows that a weak or collapsed Iran would be a horrible effect

    All you have done here is attack the US and support Iran. If you want to rant about your hatred of SA then start a thread. It has nothing to do with this. And your sophomoric invective merely makes your post look exactly that.

    Ok you convinced me, my view of Germans just went down a quite a few knotches and as much as I loved my trip there 20 years ago I'll take the return one out of my bucket list. Heck why would I want to go to a country that supports and viewes more favorably the largest state sponsor of terrorism which is on the verge of another massacre of it's citizens.
