Instead of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, I prefer Two Degrees of Problematic Britain, where virtually any geopolitical disaster can be traced back to the British in two degrees of separation or fewer. Still not entirely sure how Eisenhower was persuaded to support the coup beyond the reductive “communism bad, Soviets will make Iran communist” argument. And, as always, fuck the Dulles brothers.
