    Ukraine a White country and Iran is not

    And yet Iran is literally where the “Aryians” originated who were idolized by Hitler.

    , and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.

    Here is the actual thing that makes all the difference in the world. It would be racist to think that Iranians don’t deserve human rights and freedom, which implies they aren’t as good as people in the west.

    Russia, Iran - dictatorships.

    Ukraine - democracy

    Israel - democracy (but moving away)

    a little optimism and fantasize about good things happening in the world.

    Well if the dictatorship is overthrown in Iran, that would be fantastically great. If Israel also gets rid of its terrible PM, that would be good too. Maybe both the people of Iran and Israel can both come out winners.

    Iran has been under the control of two different mullahs for the last 45 years.

    And to gain that control, they blatantly lied in 1979 and told everyone they supported democracy and would not be involved in government. They KNEW that people wanted freedom and democracy and so they just lied about it to gain control.

    Without Iran’s support, Russia would be failing much faster in Ukraine as well.

    One good thing about this is that Iran will have much fewer drones left to give to Putin to kill Ukranians.

    The biggest amount of suffering is because of the western imposed sanctions on Iran

    Nope. 99% of the suffering is because of the Supreme Dictator

    Your are supporting another regime change like the previous Shah which only serves Western purposes.

    Nope. I want Iran to be able to chose their own leaders. To be thinking that Iranians aren’t good enough people to deserve freedom and basic human rights sounds a bit racist to me.





  • Just be glad you don’t live in Ukraine as National Public Radio has some grim first hand stories as to what Putin’s invasion was like for civilians.

    https://www.npr.org/2022/04/30/1093339262/ukraine-russia-rape-war-crimes

    [Accounts of alleged sexual violence coming out of Ukraine in recent weeks have been grim. A woman raped repeatedly by a Russian soldier after her husband was killed outside Kyiv. A mother of four gang raped by Russian soldiers in Kherson. The body of a Ukrainian woman found dead — naked and branded with a swastika. A woman raped by a Russian commander on the day tanks entered the village of Kalyta.

    The number of reports that have emerged since the start of the war in late February suggests that rape in Ukraine at the hands of Russian soldiers may be widespread…]



  • Just because the soldiers are Ukrainian doesnt mean the US isn’t at war.

    The US isn’t at war. You thought we’ve been at war with China for the last 75 years because we gave military aid to Taiwan? You thought we entered WWII in 1940 because of the lend-lease program? LMFAO. Trump’s attack on Iran was way more of a ‘war’. He used US military forces and caused hundreds of US casualties.

    US casualty list:

    Trump’s attack on Iran: 100+

    Putin’s attack on Ukraine: 0
