1. The Ottoman Empire was crumbling when the 1900's came around. England was head superpower at that time. U.S. was getting on it's feet.

2. British was already friends with Iran in the 1900's when the Shah's father control the country.

3. You might want to check your history b.


Lol. If they were friends I guess you could say everywhere Britain has invaded the other side were "friends." Britain and Russia dictated borders in Iran in the 1800's and had influence even past Churchill.

If you want to look at ZB and Russia that way, then you also have to look at the whole Middle East as a personal vendetta. The Ottoman empire was the last real threat the West had. After WWI, with the help of other middle east nations, the whole area was carved up to cause destabilization. As far as making friends with Iran, that was not going to happen. You had Britain, Russia, US and others fighting for oil in Iran back then. There is no what we would like history to be, there is only what is.
Sykes–Picot Agreement.


and I don't like the sh1t ZB talks about any subject... dealing with the West and the position the US should play in the world.

British Petroleum was the reason Britain had control of Iran. Iran has already suffered 2 Million deaths by Britain.
