    This is a false equivalence. Iran’s government has human rights issues, but the US-Israel alliance has caused far more global military destruction and civilian casualties since 1948

    US invasions span every continent killing millions whereas Iran has never before attacked a country directly.

    Iran hasn’t overthrown dozens of governments in regime change operations either.

    Turning this into a “Both sides” arguments ignores demonstrable empirical differences in death and destruction.

      Oh so only a little genocidal murder is perfectly fine, because there are others who did far more genocidal murder? Do you even listen to yourself how incredibly stupid your argument is?

      This is not a zero sum game, you can oppose both, just because you want to oppose one more doesn’t mean that the other one is someone to cheer for.

        The US and UK literally created the conditions for contemporary Iran. They toppled Mossadegh and sowed the seeds of religious extremism. You’re blaming the victims of the western empire for the consequences they’re suffering, you uneducated chauvinist.
