    Well fuck UK media then, lol.

    Maybe I misunderstood you. I’ve been seeing too many people running defense for Iran these days, and by running defense I don’t mean justifying Iranian retaliation (totally justified to strike back if you’re attacked) but rather defending the Iranian government retroactively.

    Both Myanmar and Ethiopia are in active states of civil war. By the very nature of civil war they are doing much worse to their citizens. Iran hasn’t been in a civil war, yet it’s still brutalizing its citizens. Even more than the Saudis.

      I ain’t defending Iran, they ain’t good guys. They just got attacked by worse guys. Probably as a distraction from the ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza.

      My personal stance is all war is bad, and I will call out aggressors, because it’s always civilians that bear the brunt of it. Nothing good ever comes from it, and it’ll just harden people and if any bad folk are killed, they’re inevitably replaced with worse.
