    I’m tired of this, so I’m not engaging in most of it. I do want to clarify my position on one thing:

    Why tho? Why no critical support for Iran? After all, the country’s being attacked by an imperial superpower. Why do you differentiate here?

    Because they are an oppressive regime that violates rights, that I believe people should have, constantly. I do believe they should decide how to handle this for themselves though. I don’t know about sending them billions in weapons, but maybe. However, the nations that would do this are doing the opposite, so that doesn’t really make sense. It’d be better to just stop attacking them instead of sending them weapons. I believe, just like in Russia (and many other places) that the best solution is the people rising up and deciding their fate for themselves over the elites deciding for them.
