Don't know how true this is of Iran

But thought I'd share anyways because it's true then it's worth noting.

The British were aware they were losing imperial control across the world. This was British company, and they wanted compensation for discovering the oil and building the refineries and loss of future profits, which Mosaddegh called “theoretical profits.”

What is your solution to the problems?
@emiliya It is pretty simple. A colonial power is not entitled to the wealth of another country.


And "future profits" is basically corporate speak for making up a huge number based on nothing as punishment.

@emiliya Well the easiest solution is not to overthrow good leaders and install right wing dictatorships maybe? Also you act like losing imperalist control is a bad thing, why does that need a solution lol.
