1. Wow, strange to see the CIA publicly acknowledging…anything at all.

2. What the fuck is this timing for this announcement?

3. It wasn’t undemocratic but anti-democratic.

4. Yeah no shit. A democratically elected leader was overthrown and a brutal dictator put in his place (with US support).

   Then they went and did the same thing a year later in Guatemala as well.

5. I bet we could find several of these in every decade up to today if we looked.

6. Catastrophic consequences that are felt today. Part of a long line of US events that turned allies into enemies for oil. And people today are confused while so many middle eastern Muslim nations, including allied ones like Saudi Arabia, don’t like them.

7. Yeah, we know.

8. ‘Argo’ rescue being proven as being historically accurate with no Canadian assistance

9. Is there such a thing as a “Democratic Coup” wtf

10. Wow, that is a huge step towards making things right. Whatever lead to such a decision process must be analyzed.

11. But I gotta say that Argo movie was badass.

12. This is news only in US&A

13. This coup did unimaginable damage to the Middle East, instead of secular democracy, we got a turbo religious zealots in Iran.

14. This, the 20th and 21st century world live in can be squarely attributed to American political intervention and the mechanisms of American “democratic” capitalism. Fuk this shit… How many regimes have been created or toppled by subversive American intervention in the name of “Democracy”. This is “American Exceptionalism”.

15. But now they have the govt they always dreamed of right?

    You know, the ones killing young people for protesting and not wearing a hijab?

    The support of many Iranians for the Shah’s heir is staggering.
