Yep and I’ll throw another country’s name out there given the problems we still have with it: Iran. The Mossadeq coup should go down as Ike’s biggest blunder as president. Mossadeq wasn’t a communist and more importantly he was not despised by the Iranian public.
Indeed. That’s exactly why I had Iran as #2 on my list. The 1979 Iranian revolution was textbook blowback, especially after the US decided to protect the Shah.
