I'm old enough to remember that some the embassy staff managed to evade capture and were hidden by the Canadian embassy staff until they could be smuggled out.

Then Hollywood made movie about it and gave Ben Affleck all the credit.

I blame Reagan for everything that sucks today.

The United States have been a problem country for 100+ years.

After dropping off their load of illegal weapons, the smugglers that Oliver North hired to smuggle the weapons down to Central America found themselves with an empty plane, a fistful of cash, and CIA protection, so what do you think they did?

That's right, they loaded their planes with cocaine, and flew them back to America, over and over and over again, starting the crack epidemic that killed millions, a lesser know outcome of the Iran-Contra Treason.

Nixon did the same thing with the North Vietnamese so he could get elected in 1968. He didn't offer to sell them weapons, but he encouraged them to not negotiate with the Johnson administration, telling them that he'd give them better terms. Then he kept the war going for YEARS, until North Vietnam finally won it, chased the Americans out.

TREASON has is a core conservative value.

Don’t forget, Iran was a democratic nation in the early 1950s until America fucked it up for corporate profits. We created the conditions that brought about the Iran regime to capitulate to corporate interests.

It was called the Iran/Contra scandal

After he won

Something else the americans have forgotten about Canadians helping them with.

So republicans have been worthless corrupt shit for as long as I've been alive..

Hard to argue with vote blue no matter who if you look at every republican president

To be clear, the henchman who constructed this outrageous evil was former CIA director George Herbert Walker Bush who called the FBI when JFK was shot to let them know he totally wasn’t anywhere near Dallas that day okay so don’t even bother looking.

Killer Mike - Reagan

"Did Reagan give the orders? Did cocaine pay the bills?

They said we's fighting communists, it was kinda hard to tell"

He was an empty suit that could read very well off a teleprompter

Im smart enough to understand history and what the US and Britain did to Mossaddegh and Iran.

This was all caused by imperialistic ambitions by western powers and 80 years later nobody remembers who caused what.

The US has been a terrorist state since its inception.

Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every. Word.

can't they do anything honest over there?
