“If Iranian people are energised and motivated according to you, show some balls and go back and lead them and remove the regime. Put your money where your arse is, bloody parasitical imperial whore…”
- Pakistani Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif
Rebel because the monarch said so

Iran will not enter a period civil war or Instability,
Installing an out of touch expat in power after destabilizing a country in the Middle East, when has that ever gone wrong?
Crown Prince
Monarchist detected
Fleeing the country for four decades is famously a thing you do when you’re politically in-touch and have broad popular support
Oh Christ, shut the fuck up. Someone roll out the goddamn French chopping device.
If we end up in the worst of all universes where that dumb fuck is “restored” to his throne then I’m immediately swapping stances. Sign me up to liberate Iran from monarchy. Let’s go liberate the UK too. Drop some bunker busters on whatever that stupid castle is called where the KWEEN MUM lived and sausage fingers Charles currently resides.
The whole breakdown in relations between the US and Iran really started with the US allowing the shah to flee to America (which even fucking
warned against), leading the Iranian revolutionaries conclude the US was planning to reinstate him (like they did before!), and they responded by taking hostages at the US embassy.
I’ve brought this up to people before, and gotten the response, “The shah was ill and came to the US for treatment, it was a humanitarian decision, the Iranians were just being paranoid.”
Yet another reason to hate Jimmy Carter.

Its so funny too because, somewhat like W. Carter’s crimes and malpractice is memory holed and overshadowed by his much worse successors when he was fucking demon! The more you learn about Carter the more you learn to hate just how fucking bad he was for how little he did but just by how much he even still managed to fuck up with 4 years of power.

He had a case of “about to have his head chopped off”
Fortunately, there is a cure:
The Bolsheviks did nothing wrong with the Romanovs
The interim Shah:
we have a plan for Iran’s future
That sounds like a threat
Is it really a dynasty if it’s just two dudes, though? The first of which was just some army officer the Brits put in charge?
They’re monarchs so they consider themselves a dynasty
God said so. The Brits were only guided by God.
(Monarchist “logic,” probably. Monarchs rule by “divine mandate” or whatever, usually. Admitting that their grandpa was just the most evil asshole in a particular situation to grab power doesn’t instill as much faith as saying “nah, God did that. God loves my family.”)
God didn’t kick my ass out though, that was just normal.
“Have you heard a little guy named Job? That’s right. God tests us sometimes.”
My “I’m not planning on killing you” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
