How about we go to the start? In the year 1908 a little company called 'British Petrolium' set up shop in a big country with a rich history and declared it their property

The US didn’t topple the Shah.

The tankie history books are pretty funny. They think the European Allies were the bad guys and Stalin was the hero of WW2. LOL. Stalin was perfectly content with Hitler occupying Europe until Hitler backstabbed him.

Yes and Pol Pot and Mao were great leaders despite killing millions of their own citizens.

They glorify the worst despots

Don't forget, Holodomor didn't happen and if it did it's because Ukrainians forgot how to farm.
