There’s something disturbingly consistent about the West’s appetite for regime change—dressed up as liberation, but often leaving chaos in its wake. Iraq stands as a glaring example: a toppled government, a fractured state, and a legacy of conflict. The ripple effects have spilled far beyond its borders, contributing to the waves of displacement and immigration crises that now challenge Europe’s stability. What drives this endless interference? Beneath the surface lies a lingering resentment: Western powers have never truly forgiven Iran for ousting the Shah—their handpicked puppet ruler, installed to serve British and American interests. Iran’s refusal to be tethered once more to foreign dominance has kept it in the crosshairs. There’s also an economic motive too blatant to ignore. Western corporations eye Iran’s natural wealth with barely concealed ambition. Control over oil and gas has long been the prize. And now, Iran’s membership in BRICS—and its strategic oil partnerships with Russia and China—represent not just defiance, but a direct threat to the supremacy of the petrodollar. The G7 said today which no doubt inevitable the usual clause "Israel Has the Right to Defends itself" even as the aggressor Israel can do no wrong!!!! Well Iran has the right to defend themselves Iran also faces extermination by the West and Israel.

Dr Roy Casagranda! My love for your history lesson is unmatched! Keep up your great work! We want to HEAR MORE FROM YOU AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU! Love from the Slavic nations! And love for the Muslim sisters and brothers who are defending themselves against tyrany!
General Henri Gouraud, 1920: "Réveille-toi, Saladin, nous sommes de retour. Ma présence ici consacre la victoire de la croix sur le croissant" "Wake up, Saladin, we're back! My presence here consecrates the victory of the Cross over the Crescent." Good catch, Casagranda.
Conversations like this genuinely make me realize I truly know nothing about the world outside of the US and their propaganda and that just…ah makes me so sad but motivated to learn!
Thanks again for having Roy on! For anyone looking to go deeper on Iran’s political history, Roy gave a full lecture that unpacks over a century of foreign interference, oil politics, and democratic resistance: https://youtu.be/4CsJPrHcaBs
