I am almost sure that every single person who plotted the 1953 coup is dead. Maybe one of them survives somewhere aged 103 and no longer knowing their name.

Should Macron be judged by what Napoleon III. (or for that matter, I.) did? Surely there is some kind of continuity between those French heads of state, they even fly the some colors and sit in the same palace.

What makes you think the CIA/Mossad fundamentally operate differently today?

Oh btw, since we're on the topic of false flags:

It matters less than before. The US is no longer the dominant force it used to be in the 1950s, and the UK (which was part of the anti-Mossadegh plot) is completely gone from the world stage.

The world of 2026 cannot be reduced to a CIA/Mossad theatre where everyone else is a NPC and must suffer whatever they cook up there. Other people have agency and do their things. EU, India, China, Iran, Russia, Qatar, all influential players.

Well, whatever you'd like to believe, of course.

Because of the sheer incompetence and cruelty of the islamic regime I wonder if Mossad even need to do anything at this point. Islamic regime is doing their work for them to upset the population and destabilize the country.

Did you think that running a dictatorship is a stable endeavor? No foreign intervention even needed when you build your house on sand.

When it comes to value for money/size, Qatar alone has a lot more influence than the US. Recently it forced the EU to relax its ESG standards in exchange for gas imports.

Sure some people love to live in the past, but it is not the past anymore, of course.

Trump chickening out of every world confrontation is a nice example of the diminishing capability of the US to bend the rest of the world to its will. US can probably keep its influence in Latin America, but in the Old World, the balance of power has shifted.

Is Trump de facto more powerful than Mohammad bin Salman? IDK.

IIRC Iran suffered from the worst brain drain in the world. That alone would doom the ayatollahs in the long term.
