You dronies are so transparent. You only come out to decry X country as soon as the US or its vassals attacks it. Then its all both sides bad.

No country is perfect, but Iran is doing what very few countries are brave enough to do rn, and defending themselves from the child-killing scourge of the middle east.

Even if you oppose Iran's sovereignty or its theocracy, you'll have to admit that Iran's theocracy does far less harm than any given western country does.

I did not mean to imply any moral equivalence between Iran and the USA.

Iran is a genocidal apocalyptic religious autocracy. It is dangerous to modern civilization. The USA is (at present though less so recently) a liberal pluralistic Democracy, where the excesses of one person or group tend to get moderated.

They are not the same.

Pure orientalism / white = good.

The USA isn't a democracy either, its a capitalist dictatorship

Your "pluralistic liberal democracy" is the most evil empire in world history.

The US has commited genocide against Koreans (both sides of the parallel), Vietnamese, Iraqi, Palestinian, and far, far more. The US is currently trying to topple Iran because Iran is refusing to play ball with the genocidal US Empire. The US Empire is by far the worst state on the planet, without it the fascist Entity engaged in current war with Iran would not exist and Palestine would be free.

This is extremely naive. Iran has its problems, but there's no comparison, the US is not a democracy and is the active creator of genocide around the world today. If Iran was toppled, conditions for Iranians and Palestinians would get far worse, not better.
