To think that the US used to be a reliable partner for Europe and a bastion against dictatorships that couldn't be exploited for oil is truthfully painful.

Dude what? The US installed dictatorships more than any other country, in the Americas alone they’ve installed several, in Iran they overthrew an elected president then installed the Shah which gave way to the IRGC.

They overthrew the Prime Minister, they didn't install the Shah, he was already there.

They installed the radical Islamists along with the communists. Then they turned on the communists.

France and the UK were both instrumental in this as well as the Americans.
