Pillage eh? Sounds a bit like Muhammed don't you think? Could this be a bit of an exaggeration?

What, after the Brits and Russians occupied Iran during WWII to "secure" Iranian oil?

What would you call it, FD?

A contract?

no, I think pillage describes it perfectly:

Quote:

In 1947, for example, AIOC reported after-tax profits of £40 million ($112 million), but the contractual agreement entitled Iran to just £7 million or 17.5% of profits from Iranian oil.[11] Britain was receiving more from AIOC than Iran.[16] In addition, conditions for Iranian oil workers and their families were very bad.

Tell me FD, are you still going to run with the "naughty Iranians violated the agreement" line despite the fact that Britain violated their side from the very beginning?

Now it is sounding even more like Muhammed. If only it were Jews instead of Brits I could interchange them.

Oh, indeed. I wonder how FD can show that those Iranians wanted to take away the Freeeedoms of decent white people everywhere. Do you think he could ask this as a question?

It had not done so.

I sense we are on the cusp of another 20 page tangent.

Watch FD tirelessly argue the toss over the definition of "violate", twisting words around beyond definition to keep discussion away from the fact that the British enforced an unfair treaty with the threat of invasion and military force overhanging the weaker Iranians, which took 83% of Iranians natural wealth, and had local workers in slave like conditions, and completely neglected local infrastructure - contrary to what they promised.

The Jews violated their treaty agreement not to be treacherous Jews. Off with all their heads, tough titties.

The Brits violated their contract with Iran. Off with all their assets, and half the profits.

All nice and vague and absent of any meaningful details, but why would Muslims lie?

Do you like this style Karnal? I politely refrained from specifically responding to any one thing Gandalf said.

You’re an example for us all, FD. Abu would be proud.

You’re the board’s new Longy.
