    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.

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

      Evil is still evil.

      Edit: Holy defense of authoritarians, Batman!

      Creepy vibe y’all have here.
