I don't agree with this. Russia invaded Ukraine so I agree with Ukraine defending itself against Russia.

United States killed a school full of little girls (they hit it multiple times) and killed Iran's supreme leader so I don't blame Iran defending itself against United States.

But wtf did Iran do to Ukraine?

Edit: apparently there's more to it see the person who commented below

Do you know why Russia invaded? It wasn't for no reason, lol.

Reminder of what Western liberals actually believe:

They only selectively approve of some of Iran's actions in the same way they would laugh if a Trump official was sucked up by a tornado. They see this as Israel's war being fought by exploited Americans, rather than a fight for the core engine of the global exploitation that allows them to live so well (relative to their victims) while handing over a large share of their superwages to "the service economy" & rentier extraction.

Iran is not one of the countries allowed to fight wars by their standards. It's just that Trump has temporarily demoted the American military to enslaved by Dictators (Trump & Netanyahu). We know from experience they don't cry about bombing children. So what gives? They want shoot & cry not shoot, laugh, & cry. Obama would cry before he would laugh, like Avengers Thandos movie.

They would certainly Please KKKlap along with KKKamala if she said the same things about freeing Iranian women as Trump, a little slicker, & portrayed these attacks differently in the media. Too bad for them, she never intended to win.

Ukraine is a strong ally of Israel, and is a part of the genocide of Palestine. Unfortunately, "anti-warism" and always siding with the defending side is not necessarily the correct stance, reality is far more complex.

On the off chance you are being genuine here: they ignored the sanctions on Russia by supplying them with Shahed drones. Which have been terrorizing Ukraine almost daily.

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Does that mean Russia is justified attacking countries supplying Ukraine with weapons?
