      Use your words. Where else in the middle east have we installed dictators? You said “everywhere” so I’d like some details and not just hyperbole…

        Let me google that for you, lazy man.

        1. Iran (1953) - The CIA, in a covert operation known as Operation Ajax, played a key role in the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and the consolidation of power by Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This was motivated by concerns over Mossadegh’s nationalization of the oil industry and potential Soviet influence.

        2. Iraq (1963) - The U.S. is reported to have supported the Ba’ath Party’s coup against the government of General Abdul Karim Qasim, who had earlier taken power in a 1958 coup. The U.S. had concerns over Qasim’s communist ties and his stance on oil concessions.

        3. Iraq (2003) - The U.S. led an invasion of Iraq under the pretext of eliminating weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and ending Saddam Hussein’s rule. This resulted in the overthrow of Saddam Hussein’s government and a long period of military occupation and instability.

        4. Afghanistan (2001) - Though not traditionally considered part of the Middle East but rather South Asia or Central Asia, the U.S. led an invasion to overthrow the Taliban regime in response to the September 11 attacks. The aim was to eliminate al-Qaeda’s base of operations and bring the Taliban’s rule to an end. We then held a sham election and installed our puppet.

        5. Libya (2011) - While not a direct regime change, the U.S. participated in NATO-led military intervention in Libya during the civil war, which ultimately led to the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s government. We then held a sham election and installed our puppet.

        6. Syria (Support to opposition groups since 2011) - The U.S. has provided various forms of support to opposition groups in Syria during the Syrian Civil War, aiming to pressure President Bashar al-Assad’s regime. However, this has not resulted in a direct regime change….yet!

        Wikipedia has even more information…and that’s not even all of it.


        If you’ve ever read “Confessions of an Economic Hitman” you’d know that this is the MO of our CIA which is nothing more than the bullies behind the World Bank. We are in the business of capturing countries in debt with the World Bank…and if they refuse to deal, we send in our CIA and install someone who will. We have puppet governments ALL OVER THE WORLD. In fact, there are probably fewer governments that aren’t under our control than are…as evidenced by how few nations came forward to call out the GENOCIDE happening in Palestine.

          So not “everywhere,” and you call me lazy. Hyperbole taints your message.

          Are you sure the US is not a puppet of Britain, or Israel? I mean you really can’t say exactly who’s pulling the strings.

          And still, what does this have to do with Tucker and Putin?
