    I am cheering iran right to self defence not the regime harming their own civilians.

    Do you condemn israel starting the war and killing civilians ?

      Yes I condemn Israel, this isn’t an either/or type of situation. Both countries are shitty.

        Ukraine is also pretty shitty, but no one seems to have any problem understanding why people would cheer them on when they get attacked.

        Funny how liberals can only extend that privilege to white countries

        We saw how western and Israel intervention always has devastating effect to the population of those countries. The only rational way to think about this is Iran has to defend itself against foreign power known for indiscriminate destructions . Once once it is repealed . The Iranian population can fight against the regime

          Sure, not saying Iran doesn’t have the right to defend itself.

          Revolution is sort of a separate consideration, however. Governments often use war as an excuse to continue eroding the basic rights of citizens, and Iran is no stranger to theocratic fascism. Revolutions can begin during wars.

          1940’s China paused its revolution in order to face the existential threat of Japan. On the other hand, 1910’s Russia began its revolution during the ongoing conflict of the Great War. The people will reach a breaking point whenever things become too intolerable. It’s different for each example.
