War with Iran, will the UK help

[interesting]

The US seemed to quickly draw the line on communism but promoted many corrupt ineffective governments. Either way the citizens are punished. If the local population is ok with it why should America save them?

Then the US should have never gotten involved, but to involved itself and reneged on its involvement certainly painted a bad color. And I'd hardly say the US promoted any type of corrupt gov't, there is a difference between advising its friend and wholeheartedly supported what was going on. And even if the latter was true, the US did try to resolve it, but failed anyway.

The question of whether USSR would fall or not, is a toss-up because it didn't fully go down until 1990s. But China wasn't definitely going anywhere, as evident by its stance on protecting North Korea even now.

I don't think the US is trying distract its citizens or instill any fear in the public, I think the US is now just more aware of the world (as seen by its ignorance of WWII and the eventual destruction of Pearl Harbor), but has gotten tangled into too many webs, I think it's time to stand back and look at everything because the US is constantly on the move without seeing everything.
