Iran is having a boogaloo

They picked the wrong time for an uprising when Obama was president, I hope they make it this time.

What does Obama have to do with it?

It'd be nice to think we got the hint and let them be this time, but we can't help but screw that up as we had been doing to them for a century prior.

He didn't do anything to help them because he's a Muslim plant he wasn't even born in this country

No.

There's a reason for the animosity Iran's bear for Americans. Actually there are several, and they all have to do with regime change. The United States of America even ended democracy in Iran.

I thought the Ayatollah Khomeini did that

In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup to oust Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh (because the British wanted to but couldn't do it themselves, as always), putting Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi back in power, ending democracy in Iran. It wasn't the first time, as we also had Shah Mohammad Reza replace his own father, Reza Shah Pahlavi, during World War II. Reza Shah himself was put into power with the backing of the British.

That mellow looking man in the picture was Mosaddegh. For his grand sin of becoming prime minister, he got to spend the rest of his life in house arrest, dying in the 1960s.

Then, in 1979 with unrest growing against the Shah and the US wanting him out because of his role in rising oil prices, we persuaded him to allow Ayatollah Khomeini to come back from exile in France ostensibly as a token of good will towards his people, but knowing very well that that would be the end of the Shah's reign.

The US Government actually seriously believed that in gratitude, Khomeini would now take his turn as the US puppet a charge of Iran. Something about getting tortured before he escaped to France and his father getting tortured to death by the Shah's regime didn't exactly make him overly conducive to being the tool of the people responsible. So he went rogue.

You know the rest.

The world would be an entirely different place if it wasn't for us constantly meddling with Iranian governments.

That's three people we are responsible for taking over that country, one of them twice, but do we ever learn? No, we're going to do the same thing again to further antagonize them.
After 2600 years, the world's second oldest country doesn't forget that easy.

Well, Im about tired of the CIA, that agency needs disbanded yesterday. I just know the Iranian people are tired of living under a theocracy and want thier freedom back, I hope they win out at this attempt for a revolution.

For someone who claims to be of Iranian ancestry, it's funny how you use the wrong name for the country, claim its people are taking said country back by dubbing them the wrong name as well.

When the f**k did I claim to be Iranian lol. The country is called PERSIA. 'Iran' is an illegitimate state occupying the former vast and diverse empire that was PERSIA.
Persian Empire.
Emperor Xerxes of Iran? No, Emperor of Persia.
Prince Of Persia.
THAT Persia.

They are called Persians, the land is called Persia. Iran is nothing more than documentation.

-----------

As for you assuming I'm somehow 'Iranian', you must be confusing citizenship to the Islamic republic with pre-historic indo-European migrations through the Eurasian step and settlement in what is now Europe. Which is the genetic lineage of ALL indigenous Europeans (and the native Persians).

Want an example from ancient history? During the Greek-Persian wars, the Greeks and the Persians both spoke about how they overwhelmingly looked like the exact same people. The only difference was language and armour. And we all know exactly what phenotype us Hellenes have.

Twice. You called yourself of Iranian ancestry twice, referring to your "pointed eyebrows" as proof the first time a couple of years ago and totally not noticing that a major Iranian holiday had just passed the second time you said you were, even after I tried to nudge that one out of you to see if you even had the slightest knowledge about Iranians, a neighbor or something like that in your past.

That's Xerxes, King of Kings of Iran. Or, as Irani (Arani, Ariani, Aryan) say it, Khashayar (Xšayāršā) Shahanshah of Aran.

Persia is derived from what Alexander the Great (or Alexander the Greek to Iranians, for understandable reasons) called the country, Land of the Pars, Pars being the major Aryan tribe of Aran.

Early Europeans were conquered by Central Asians, infusing them with their own DNA, but not completely supplanting them.

No, the Greeks and the Iranians did not speak of how they overwhelmingly looked like the same exact people, because they did not look like the same exact people. In addition, they were enemies, and the last thing they wanted to look like was their enemy.

Adding historical illiteracy to historical illiteracy doesn't make it any less historically illiterate.
Perhaps you should look at something other than The 300 for historical references.

No I didn't. Iran is a country, not a race.

Xerxes was the emperor of Persia.

Alexander conquered Persia, like he conquered everything else. He and his army was such an unstoppable force that the Gods killed him before he hit 40 or else he would have taken all of Asia, The Americas and by 70 he would be conquering aliens in the Andromeda Galaxy lol.

Early Europeans and Asians are the save thing. Europeans only have a different skin tone from the rest of the indo-European (Aryan) race because 18,000 years ago, our skin adapted to our climate and because experts at absorbing vitamin D. Before that, ALL native Europeans had darker skin due to higher melanin count.We share the same internal genetic makeup and phenotype as our Asian kin. We are have less neanderthal DNA but its virtually irrelevant.

The Greeks and the Persians are the exact same race. Yes they looked exactly alike in phenotype. The misconception that the ancient Persians were arabs is rooted in racist rhetoric, not history. Assassins Creed Odyssey has the most accurate depiction of the racial and cultural appearance of antiquity.

Ironic given you use 400 and Braveheart as historical sources lol

Iranic peoples are an ethnic group.

You're repeating your historical illiteracy again.

Europeans are not Aryans. They were domesticated by them.
That doesn't make them any more Aryan than it makes the Scottish, English.

The latest on pale skin is that it supposedly emerged around 8,000 years ago. Give or take.

East Asians have more Neanderthal DNA then Western Eurasians do. Although it would make sense that everybody east of Europe would have more as that would explain their larger cranial dimensions. People didn't start civilizations throughout Asia all the way to the Americas by having smaller sapien brains.

Showing me a picture of White people to prove that White people are not White people. Wow you sure showed me!

*Iran is a country, not an ethnic group.

Europeans are Aryans. The exact same racial group as the people found in Iran (Land of the Aryan)

Pale skin in humans is over 40,000 years old. Europeans evolved it 18,000 years ago although many southern Europeans retain their melanin for obvious reasons. *wink it's rather sunny down there *wink.

Asians (East asians, semites etc. etc.) Have the highest neanderthal DNA, not Europeans who are descended from a separate now extinct Human race that on rare occasion bred with Neanderthals during their migrations across the Eurasian step.

You don't know what I am yet you know what I am. I am quite impressed. And not in a good way.

Btw its 5:02am over here in good auld Alba (Scotland) because my sleep schedule is f**ked up.

Blood (genetic origin) and nationality are two separate things. One day you might come to realise this. My ancestors migrated from many different places, they didn't all huddle in West Scotland forever like I do now.

*screnshotted the time on my phone as proofs.
