Crazy that both these countries exist in the way that they do because of the us

Its almost like that should be taught in school. Iran was one of the nations subject to a CIA orchetrated coup because they wanted to nationalize their oil reserves.

But since its not relevant to vibe coding I doubt it'll make it into the curriculum.

Don't forget the British involvement, it was British Petroleum that was the most threatened, and the British army militarily blockading Iranian oil from being exported.

I mean history in US schools is incredibly sanitized in general, they don't want you to know things that make them look bad! And if you must know, they always say how NECESSARY it was. Like the atrocities that were the atomic bombs

Its hard to follow the pledge of allegiance with a genuine / honest reflection on American history. Honesty almost certainly seems traitorous at that point.
