Oh the US forced Iran to murder 30k civilians, it's our fault somehow.

Sanctions, instigations (admitted) lead to protests that lead to violent crack downs.

Yes. Without those sanctions + instigations the crack downs would not be needed. That's beyond obvious to me.

  • "needed. So Iranians protesting out of their free will, allows for a state to massacre them?

    Side question what's your opinion on the war in Ukraine

    • It's a cuban-missle-crisis like moment for Russia. And they act accordingly.

      I'm not in favor of one or the other: I just notice imperialism when I see it. And Russia+Iran have been much less aggressive than the "allied western forces" for the last 60 years, while they have a lot of reasons to dig in and toughen up not to become the next Libya/Iraq/Syria/etc.
