Then why was the United States involved in overthrowing its government in the 1950s?

This is what a lot of Americans are just starting to come to realize: The United States of America has been the "colonial power" in much of the world since the end of World War II.

Nonsense, it prevented a Soviet-led communist/Islamist takeover of Iran, until Carter came along.

The two Cold War sides fought over Iran, and we won.

The Islamist rebels were all Marxists

“Then why was the United States involved in overthrowing its government in the 1950s?”

So if we help overturn an administration (not a government) in 1953 that means that nation is our colony in 1979? In the 1940’s we overthrew the governments/administrations of dozens of nations in Europe and Asia. How many of those nations were our colonies in 1970?

Do you know what the word “colony” means?

“This is what a lot of Americans are just starting to come to realize: The United States of America has been the “colonial power” in much of the world since the end of World War II.”

Okay, name our colonies acquired and maintained since WWII.
