      This is not a sports game. Iran’s drones, missiles, and shells have killed thousands of innocent people in Ukraine.

      Root for everyone to have fun instead!
      Root for loads of damage to any horrible regime of your choosing and it’s people (higher-ups/enablers) instead!

      Eh, enlisting the help of one fascist regime to fight another one is only a temporary solution. Maybe it will save the day for Ukraine but it sure will come with alot of strings attached. So long as there is a powerful genocidal, fascist regime in another corner of the world, none of the weaker countries are really safe. We have seen many times that geographic seperation does not really help you much.

      Why would you even root for Iran? While they’re a victim of US/Israel aggression, the government is still horrible. Remember the deadly protest just before the war begin? Remember few years ago they also beat a woman to death for protesting against mandatory headscarf?

        Is this the way we talk about world politics now? The government is bad, so we can look over the heinous act of violating their sovereignty?

          No? And you think rooting for someone is a good way to talk about world politic? Instead of condemn the attack and hold the opinion that the attack are bad, while also hold the opinion a country being attacked is also horrible, we gonna just go A or B with zero nuanced take? Is that really what you want to do?

            You were the one asking why root for Iran. You didn’t ask why root for Ukraine, or any other western country. Why? Only Western governments are allowed to be bad?

              Did you missed the part where i say “Iran are a victim of US/Israel aggression” or are you purposefully ignore that part so your opinions of me won’t fall apart? Do we have to list everything on the table before we start talking? Because i haven’t seen yours, i can just say you support epstein, right?

              Ohh and Ukraine did the right thing, Russia are the bad guy, deal with it.

                How surprising that you are able to root for one side in this case.

        Because the US and Israel already picked their next target, and if they aren’t stopped they will go for it again and again? Because the civilians are there, dying?

        It sucks that the Iranian government is a piece of shit. That’s not reason to root for them to be destroyed.

      It doesn’t really make sense to root for both because you’d be rooting for both sides against each other. One is a puppet of the US/Western neoliberal axis of evil that is run by a right-wing dictatorship that incorporated literal Nazis into its military and government (Ukraine). The other is a strong ally of peoples’ liberation movements in the Middle East (like those fighting against the demonic Israeli Zionist entity in Gaza and Lebanon) and is standing up to the evils of the most destructive powers on this planet—the US and Israel (Iran).

      Western media propaganda villainizes Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Hezbollah, and Hamas but these are the states and groups that are standing strong against US empire, the most powerful and evil force in the world. If you’re wondering why Russia is helping Iran, it’s because they have been allies for a long time against the onslaught of Western hegemony, resource theft, and regime change. If you’re wondering why Ukraine is helping the US & Israel, it’s because they are a puppet of US empire (and want to curry favor with the US).

      If you didn’t know (which most don’t because Western corporate media ran a huge propaganda campaign around Ukraine), Biden instigated the NATO-Russia proxy war in Ukraine (by funding/arming the out and proud Nazis running Ukraine since 2014 & installing NATO missiles on the borders of Russia) to enrich US & European billionaires despite warnings and pressure from the international community that doing so would lead to war, while Ukraine ethnically cleansed ethnic Russians in the Donbas region, leading to the hostilities that broke out in 2022.

        Russia the country that meddles in other countries elections, referandums and tries to push countries to right wing extremism and isolationism? Of course to you these are all western media lies but for some reason these groups generally display pro Russian sentiments. Must be all coincidence. Putin is fucking up the world as much as Trump and Netanyahu is. They all deserve to rot in a cesspit. Don’t forget, billionaires and oligarchs are not friends, they are food.

          You say this as Trump and Netanyahu literally just unleashed WWIII and thousands of innocent civilians are being slaughtered. But I guess if they’re brown and Muslim you don’t care. Did everyone forget that the Mueller Report came back with no evidence of any of the Russiagate claims neoliberal billionaire-owned media were squawking about? It’s the same crap they’re doing now—trying to pin Epstein on Russia. The evidence is clear—Epstein and Maxwell were Mossad agents and the whole Epstein situation was an Israeli honeypot scheme that Israel could use to blackmail US politicians to do their bidding, like, hmmm I don’t know, start a disastrous war with Iran!!!

            Wait this Muller?

            “In his opening statement, Mueller identified the major finding of his report, “the Russian government interfered in our election in sweeping and systematic fashion.” He concluded by noting, “over the course of my career, I’ve seen a number of challenges to our democracy. The Russian government’s effort to interfere in our election is among the most serious. As I said on May 29, this deserves the attention of every American…Perhaps the high point of his testimony saw Mueller expressing his fears that electoral interference was becoming the “new normal” and that “[the Russians] expect to [interfere] during the next campaign.” As if to illustrate his point, yesterday the Senate blocked two bills designed to increase election security and to require reporting of influence attempts by foreign governments during electoral campaigns.”

            Mueller’s testimony

            or this Russia?

            Far right groups ‘using Russian invasion of Ukraine to push anti-West narratives’

            I am not pitting Trump against Putin, they are all inhumane enough to deserve rotting in a cesspit. If you think one deserves to have an armchair because he is not as bad as the rest, that is fine by me.

            But I guess if they’re brown and Muslim you don’t care

            I like how you are fine with making disgusting assumptions about someone you have had exchanged a single message with. If you had as much as gone back and read a couple of my posts about the genocide in Gaza you would laugh at your own post lol.
