      With the litte difference that russia is a brutal dictatorship who invaded a sovereign country and Iran is a brutal dictatorship too.

      But I guess it’s the same anyway, right?

        The US is constantly and historically the ones propping up dictators all over the world. AND we have done it while people of those nations have either legitimately voted for the opposite, and/or were fighting for their freedom from colonial powers/dictators. We actively fund and create false narratives inside nations that we don’t like to start color revolutions. We force other nations into backing brutal sanctions if they don’t want us to go after them and to be allowed to trade with us. Our military is literally installed all over the globe, but we claim nations like China are somehow being “aggressive” for even patrolling their own areas. We create and groom evil and gaslight the world that we are somehow just allowed to police the globe. Fuck yourself.

        The USA is a brutal dictatorship who invaded a sovereign country. What’s the difference exactly? The USA has invaded someone more recently than Russia has, and they do it a lot more often. They’re also more dictatorial and more brutal. The fact that the USA is mad at Iran for supporting their enemy is completely understandable. They’re not being hypocrites, it’s just mafia tactics and they’re not ashamed of it. What’s not understandable is you or anyone saying USA sending weapons to Ukraine and Iran sending weapons to Russia are somehow not equivalent.

        To be clear, I am not at all justifying or forgiving the use of sanctions, it’s a barbaric form of warfare that explicitly targets non-combatants, the USA should be ashamed and their leadership jailed.

        All liberal “democracies” are brutal capitalist dictatorships.

        At least Iran and Russia’s interests are aligned with most of the world against imperial core countries.

      Just curious. Which action here are you criticising? The “giving Russia ballistic missiles”-part, right?

      Ah, why didn’t the world leaders think of that? Just press the “peace” button! That will stop the baddies from being bad! Just say “chill out man, we tryna get peace”.

        They could have had peace almost two years ago, but the western power pushed for continued war. They dont want peace, they want global politics agendas.

          Oh, yes, the western powers could’ve just not helped Ukraine, so Russia just kills them. No Ukrainians, no war. Finally! Peace!

    Lol they still haven’t learned that sanctioning these massive countries just backfires
