      What do you expect iran to do want the whole west is imposing severe sanctions harming regular citizens. Iran as no choice but to work with russia. Iran could have been an neutral country if americans, israelis and britosh didn’t support the shah coup

          I am cheering iran right to self defence not the regime harming their own civilians.

          Do you condemn israel starting the war and killing civilians ?

              We saw how western and Israel intervention always has devastating effect to the population of those countries. The only rational way to think about this is Iran has to defend itself against foreign power known for indiscriminate destructions . Once once it is repealed . The Iranian population can fight against the regime

                  Only soldiers on the ground by the usa may make the regime fall. Iran war will never got worse than gaza war. Despite famine, only few gazans are protesting hamas.

                  I will also repeat that western interventions always has terrible effects

              Ukraine is also pretty shitty, but no one seems to have any problem understanding why people would cheer them on when they get attacked.

              Funny how liberals can only extend that privilege to white countries

          Funny, I’ve been saying this for the last three years and liberals have been telling me that that makes me a tankie Putin simp.

      Basically nothing for 2 years (the protests ended), and the first term for Trump ended in 2021, so 4 years ago. The only thing I have seen is about arms sales, occasionally and it doesn’t express any opinion other than an Iran drone was used.

      In the last few days since the attack, it’s quite a lot about nuclear weapons that may be 2 months, 2 years or a 20 years away, and now about journalists. Basically, the strategy has changed to bumping them up the enemies list to justify the attacks.

      We don’t see much about the Syrian leader, as he’s not much of a terrorist now he’s working with the West.

      It’s interesting how media can pivot their narratives about who the heroes and villains are at any time, and it’s always in line with government foreign policy.
