President Joe Biden will announce an end Thursday to U.S. support for a grinding five-year Saudi-led military offensive in Yemen that has deepened human suffering in the Arabian peninsula’s poorest country, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said.

    Hey, they kept the Russians out when the shah got sick and died, didn't they?

    That's true. Though the Russians probably would have been kept out no matter who was in power. That was a bridge too far with the USSR at the end of its life.

    That's what Khomeini was there to do.

    By whose point of view?

    The government's, he was an asset. This is Brzezinski's work [arizona.edu], and it's still paying huge dividends

      No. In the link, Brzezinski discusses Afghanistan not Iran, and Mujaheddin not Khomeini. It's not relevant.

        So what? He did both. Same process for both for the same purpose. All your other "color revolutions" (including Ukraine) were for the same thing too, to chase off the competition. Of course you are expected to create a distraction

          You say he did both without proof for Iran. That's a huge difference from you claimed with that link.

          Funny how democratic movements around Russia ("including Ukraine") are dismissed as US meddling.
