Yeah I think I’m rooting for Iran now… Not a big fan of religious authoritarianism but fuck me if they don’t look like the good guys in all of this.
There doesnt have to be “good guys”, this isnt a comic book. This is just two supervillains whaling on each other while everyone else suffers.
Iran is far more justified here than the US. It’s not two bad guys, it’s one victim and one perpetrator.
If you only look at one factor and nothing else.
Trump being a shitbag to someone does not excuse their own unrelated shitbag behavior. It doesnt absolve them of wrongdoing, just makes them slightly more sympathetic.
I agree Iran has some huge shitbag practices and policies. They’re one of the main destabilizing forces in the region
But “slightly”. Really. Holy fuck the US is wrong in this one.
Israel too. I’m amazed by a country born from surviving genocide could resort to genocide so easily.
