Economist Steve Keen examines US foreign policy and the historical context behind major military interventions and global conflicts.
In 1953, Washington deposed Iran's elected leader and installed the Shah and a stable, modernising country collapsed into the theocracy we face today. In the 1980s, America armed Afghan rebels against the Soviets, then walked away and the group it helped create flew planes into the Twin Towers. And now, with sanctions, assassinations, and the same old playbook, Washington is doing it again: trying to bomb and bully Iran into "friendship." This is the pattern and as a top economist watching it play out in real time, the question isn't whether it backfires, but how hard.
We also incorporate insights from Piers Morgan Uncensored to illustrate the broader discourse on these sensitive topics. Whether you are interested in the economic drivers of war or the nuances of recent history, this analysis connects the dots between past actions and current global tensions. This breakdown is designed for those seeking a deeper, evidence-based look at how international military strategy functions in the real world.
