Just because there's a war doesn't mean you have to say one side is the good guys. What are you, eight?
There is inly one bad side in a war of aggression, the agressor. The regime oppressiveness is irelevsnt in this context.
The Ayatollah was Iran’s Chief Islamic Judge. The US also gives judges at the highest levels lifetime appointments. This is basic stuff . How ignorant are you to not know any of this?
Plus I noticed you completely sidestepped the issue of Israel’s genocide, even though they’re the country that pulled us into this mess of a war.
I mean your lamenting the loss of your evil empire benefits. Sounds like you already took a lifelong side in this.
The collective "we" had it good. As in, the world generally including you unless you're posting from inside Iran. The strait is rightfully international waters and have been for ages. Anything less is a return to mercantilism.
How crazy do you have to be to look at the vicious crackdown last year and call Iran democratic? Just because I hate America doesn't mean I'm on the side of a bloody-handed authoritarian theocratic state. What is with you?
Unfortunately that authoritarian theocratic state and its people (many of whom dont support their own government) are the only thing standing up to the heinous evil of the US Israeli imperial monstrosity and dying for it, which is a lot more than anyone from the west is doing
Oh, I thought I'd forgotten something. I forgot to die! It's hardly as if Americans or Brits have been protesting and getting served draconian punishments by their twisted Zionistic governments, right? We can't complain unless we're also dead. Great point.
Setting aside the sarcasm, I've repeatedly pointed out the plight of the heroic Iranian protestors who died, to the markedly deaf ears of people in this very post who are asserting Iran is somehow "the good guy" in their black and white moral tapestry.
There are a lot of those types here, frustratingly. It’s doubly amusing and wild when you come across the ones who are really down bad for North Korea.
I wish there was a program where we could fully sponsor their resettlement to nk/iran/whatever is their favourite flavour of authoritarianism.
Should a program like that be initiated, they will admit that they are edgelords / demagogues and they don't actually believe in any of this (the NK stuff in particular is strong evidence that this is all online roleplay).
Apparently. I would hope at least they're getting paid to talk that shit, but I'm not even seeing that level of cunning on display.
Whatever you think the straight is international water or not, iran as the aggressed has the right to defend itself and impose blockades to do it. That's why ukaine can legally attack russian linked oil ships. Without the straight, and the drones and missiles that the west always tried to limit, iran wouldf have been already a failed stste like Lybia
