that wouldn’t sell US their oil cheap, so we
sponsored a little bit of a revolution and
placed the Shah on the throne and we got
our cheap oil for many years.
Remember the Shah of Iran*?
His people hated him for many years and
didn’t particularly care for America and
the Americans who live there for putting
him on the throne.
That led to a problem in the 80s for Jimmy
Carter which allowed Ronald Reagan to be
elected, which set the stage for the Bushes,
and, well, here we are.

Remember cheap oil and lower gas prices?
