Imagine Saddam was overthrown.
Then imagine US took his general that got absolutely obliterated in Persian Gulf War 1 and Persian Gulf 2 and said “you are in charge now, follow our orders”.
And then that said General said no I don’t want to be called General, call me King like the Babylonian Kings.
And then you had this fake King’s family with no ties to any Babylonian ancestor rule for half a century.
That’s basically the Phalavi family in a nutshell. Except in case of Iran we had a democratic PM led government that was overthrown. Their royale reign literally lasted for 53 years. A joke in scheme of our histories time.
Now some people want to switch a theological dictatorship for some LA socialite dictatorship, rather than a true democratic government. I swear Iranians are retarded when it comes to politics. Absolutely retarded.
