    Sure, but Iran may first have to work on their rights for woman as humans and not slaves. Russia could stop their invasion and start peacetalks. Otherwise I don’t see any progressive change happening.

      Civil liberties and women rights are much better in Iran than Saudi Arabia, yet the former is in US-declared “axis of evil” while the latter is a close US ally.

      The US has practiced about 200 military interventions just in the last three decades. It killed two millions in Korea, a million in Vietnam, another million in Indonesia, another in the Middle East. It promoted a coup in Iran, which had a secular, progressive, patriotic government, for the crime of nationalizing petroleum, and installed a subservient authoritarian absolute monarch, which was later overthrown – by islamic revolutionaries. The US caused the problem of theocracy in Iran by illegally overthowing the secular government, now you think more US violence will solve it?

      The US also promoted coups all over Latin America to overthrow democratic governments and install subservient brutal military dictatorships.

      Putin has problems, but he is not remotely in the same category of evil as the US regime.

        Better than Saudi Arabia, is still shit. Where did I advocate for US voilence ??? Even if the us is soley to blame for irans stance on woman, it wouldn’t change the fact that an organized classwar is unthinkable before any of these issues are resolved. Same with Russia, needs to stop the war before they have a chance at dismantling the current oligarchy. And yes I know the us is the biggest terrorist state.

        Evil is still evil.

        Edit: Holy defense of authoritarians, Batman!

        Creepy vibe y’all have here.

        The only reason Putin is not in the same category is just because the US sphere of influence is bigger.

      Peace talks? How about their troops fuck off right back home and they release whatever is left of the kidnapped children. Then they can talk about compensation for every crime their troops committed. Their current idea of peace talks is along the lines of “Ukraine should give up most of it’s land, people and resources and we promise not try to take more this week.”

          “Nato must die, then they will stop at nothing” fixed that for you.

          Please, I am a socialist at heart, with a real soft spot for non autocratic communism, but this “Putin/Stalin did nothing wrong shit” is ridiculous.

          That said the current US regime better get kicked out of NATO.
