The British & Soviet Invasion of Iran in 1941
The lightening operation to seize Iranian oil fields and railroads to fuel the Red Army was launched a few months after Germany invaded the Soviet Union.
For most of the 19th century, the British and Russians vied with each for control of Central and West Asia in what Rudyard Kipling the “Great Game” in his 1901 novel Kim.
One of the most intriguing British characters of this era was Harry St. John Bridger Philby, also known as Jack Philby or Sheikh Abdullah. Philby was a British Arabist, explorer, and key advisor to King Abdulaziz ibn Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia.
Though a member of the British upper class, Harry seems to have harbored some sort of resentment against the British, and he advised the Saudi King to sign a deal to exploit Saudi Arabia’s oil fields with American instead of British concerns.
Harry’s only son—Harold Adrian Russell Philby—whom he nicknamed “Kim” after the titular spy in Kipling’s novel—became the most notorious Soviet double-agent in the history of the British Secret Intelligence Service.
In 1941, the Great Game between Britain and the Soviet Union ended in the most spectacular conceivable way when they jointly invaded Iran to secure its oil fields and railroads to supply the Soviet Red Army with fuel to fight the Germans.
At the time, Iran had virtually no modern army with which to stop them, and their resistance collapsed in three days.
Though I can already hear the howls of protest, I suspect that the Europeans—including the British—will be forced by the looming energy crisis to make peace with Russia and start purchasing gas via the one remaining pipeline (Line B of Nord Stream 2) which was not ruptured by the criminal act of sabotage in September 2022 that destroyed Nord Stream One lines A and B and Nord Stream Two line A.
Russia has pretty good relations with both Israel and Iran (hundreds of thousands of Israelis hold dual citizenship with Russia) so I increasingly wonder if Russia will need to play a role in bringing this disaster to an end before it destabilizes and ruins the entire world.
The following YouTube video does a good job of recounting the 1941 invasion.
History is written by the victors. The victors since at least Waterloo have been the International Bankers. Our "history" is a story to fool and soothe us into a more complete servitude to these banking ghouls and criminals.
In my lifetime I've never seen more awareness, criticism and open discussions about this situation we suffer than today. This is actually a great start. My hope is that we'll find a way to demolish this situation and move ourselves and the world to a much better place.
Valid analogy…. Now let’s throw in the CIA installed rat and Jewish conman Volodymyr Zelensky who just bombed another Russian oil refinery from Ukraine. Not good and it seems Israel puppet Trump is siding with the cesspool of Ukraine instead of the good Christians of Russia. Here’s my most recent post. Enjoy it. 🚨Why in the hell is @realDonaldTrump trying to protect Ukraine and legitimize the CIA groomed corrupt Vlodymyr Zelensky regime? Fact: Russia wasn’t and is not the aggressor in Ukraine, NATO is! First of all let me make this very clear, Ukraine is and was the aggressor as NATO and the United States reneged on every major promise to Russia & put forces on Putin’s border. Second Ukraine is literally a evil puppet nation created by the CIA led coup using the Nazi Azov battalion against Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Under Obama the CIA and DOD started the illegal Ukrainian deadly covert bio weapons manufacturing labs doing gain of function against the 75’ Bio Weapons Convention Treaty. Third it’s a haven for Nazis, money laundering, child trafficking and illegal black market live organ dealing. Fourth: The Ethnic cleansing of innocent Russia supporting Ukrainian citizens in the eastern province of Donbas by Ukrainian Azov battalion Nazis is literally genocide. Fifth: Let’s talk about FTX and the billion’s laundered through Ukraine by dirtbag Sam Bankman-Fried and funneled right back to U.S politicians? And yes, in both parties. Sixth: The Russia hoax has been proven to be a lie perpetrated by Obama and Hillary and the CIA who are also involved in the money laundering in Ukraine so why are we still viewing Putin as an enemy when it’s been unequivocally shown that Putin and Russia are the victims of NATO and Ukrainian Minsk Accord agreement violations. The fact that Trump is actually entertaining this drug addicted perverted fraud Zelensky and supporting the corrupt cesspool of Ukraine is an absolute total slap in the face to MAGA conservatives and an embarrassment to United States. Something is very very wrong here folks. Russia is the most orthodox Christian country on the planet and if there’s one country we should be partnering with it’s the good people of Russia. I should remmind you that todays Russia is no longer the Jewish Bolshevik run Soviet Union. It’s a strong Christian sovereign democracy. As I’ve said repeatedly about this new Trump administration who by all intents and purposes is clearly siding with the globalist NWO corporatocracy agenda, something is very very wrong in Trump world 😡 https://steve2r3wi.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-ukraine-2fd?r=1ln4a0&utm_medium=ios
