Most of the time when you destroy the system you get a much worse system.
Was the Shah good or bad? Is it important that what came before the Shah was a popular democratic system that the US destroyed? Is that destruction justified if it becomes a great vacationing spot for Americans?
And of course there’s no chance that the US power structure would be involved if the US had a systemic break down.
Blackwater/Academi and the CIA probably already have detailed plans in place. They’ll do what ex-KGB agent Putin did in Russia; let the people throw out the old leadership, then swoop in and buy up the resources for pennies on the dollar.
So, you’re saying that because the Shah was terrible in 1979 it’s okay for the current people to be terrible now?
Right now Vietnam is a very popular tourist destination for Americans. I know people who have been there several times and want to go back.
That’s entirely besides the point.
How is it ‘beside the point’ when it’s exactly my point?
Literally two comments ago you were saying this:

You’re all over the place bud.
So we agree. The revolution didn’t actually improve things for most people.
No lol, we do not agree.
There are numerous examples of revolutionary change bringing better, more equitable systems of governance.
The only pattern I see is that the ones where the US is involved end up turning to shit.
lol!

Thanks for helping me prove my point.
