    the fact you think iran and the us are in any way comparable at all is baffling to me.

    this is one non-comprehensive list of the sheer amount human suffering the empire has unleashed upon the planet. no country on the planet (including any of their enemies like iran russia china or north korea) have ever done a fraction of the evil, even if you assume absolute truth of all the propaganda about them.

    and the amount of people the us empire have killed lies only on estimation, but it probably reaches the hundreds of millions easily. probably billions if you count the ones cast to poverty.

    the us is currently funding or otherwise participating on all current genocides and wars going on atm. there is no “both sides” here.

      Where did I compare Iran and US?

      I agree with you about all the points you have raised about the US.

      Do you not agree, that a regime that has killed 36 thousand of it’s citizens this year alone, should be dismantled?

      Edit: You edited your comment right as I was answering. I do not agree with your theory of the US funding/participating in all current genocides. I very much doubt they are involved in the genocide of the Uyghurs.

      Edit 2: And your estimates on how many people the US is supposed to have killed lol,

        you literally just did. and i sincerely doubt that number is true at all, it would be physically impossible to kill so much with so little evidence. for reference the same us/israeli media machine said 20k died in gaza lol.

        just some propaganda to justify a completely senseless war for people like you.

        nobody would have to die if the us didn’t feel the need to try to coup other people’s country.

            wikipedia articles are good for reference, not absolute truth. your link literally references the new york times as a source for the 30k figure, which is preposterous at best. it’s literally the us itself claiming it.

            now take a good look at the scale of both articles linked in this discussion. this number would be closer to zero if not for the us attempt to meddle.

            this is not a both sided issue, and iran is not as deserving of anything as the global murderous empire. conservatives are so hard to argue with.

                    LOL at comparing the global fascist empire, raining death upon the world to a smallish theocracy in the middle east that mostly keeps to themselves.

                    we will support anti-imperialism over letting nazis divide and conquer us.

                    you fascists and fascist leaning libs aren’t actually that special though…
