MAD's post is more what than how, and the writers of those tweets have their own agenda. What would have happened had Carter backed the Shah unconditionally?MAD's post is literally a summary of how Carter messed up Iran. His handling of the hostage crisis was bad as well.
The October Surprise is just a conspiracy theory and isn't proven.
He may not have played things so poorly. Had he backed the Shah there very likely would have been a successful and very bloody revolution to oust him, which wouldn't have helped us at all.We won't know. That is alternate history. There is probably a Youtube video out there that some alt history person has made about it.
