United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.

    Wait, what are you talking about here? I feel like we’re both on the same side of the argument?

    Look, they’re both fucking evil and both have to go. Trump because he is a murdering self serving pedophile, and the Iranian government because they are a theocratic dictatorship that tortures and murders their population for control.

      what are you talking about? trump literally just admitted they were right in quashing the fake uprising. saudi arabia is also a theocracy and the us isn’t attacking it’s civilians.

      that’s just the same narrative that was used to justify genociding gaza (but hamas!). they do not both have to go, iran is completely justified so far, and the us is the one threatening the planet with nuclear hellfire.

        Did you miss the “Slowly string up gays with a crane” memo from Iran?

        Did you miss the “Public executions” memo from Iran?

        Did you miss the “Torture prisons” memo from Iran? Seriously, look up “Evin Confess” on spotify, the singer actually spent some “fun vacation” in that place because they didn’t like his music much

        Seriously, the Iranian government is a fucked up government that needs to go. Same for Saudi Arabia, by the way, same shit, different name. These are repressive and violent regimes. Whatever fucked up thing the US and Israel are doing has nothing to do with that, doesn’t change anything about that. And yes, the Israeli government too is evil and fucked up and too has to go because they just seem unable to stop genociding because they like it too much.

        What is up with you idiots trying to protect these horrible creatures? Why?

          i think you missed the whole “the us is threatening nuclear winter for the world, and is putting out wartime propaganda about iran” thing.

          the end of iran would put the world this much deeper into trouble, but an us collapse will solve most of the geopolitical problems plaguing the world for a century right now. stop blaming other countries for your faults or coming up with reasons to justify your unprovoked murder of civilians all over the world.

          it’s always the same story: if you cared at all about iran or venezuela or gaza’s democracy or whatever the fuck you would not be bombing them. i’m glad iran is capable of resisting.
