Any thought on this? (www.anarchistfederation.net)

I strongly disagree with the text. I understand it as the author doesn't want the people of Iran to liberate themselves from tyranny, because then they would be controlled by US which is also tyrannic. But not supporting people liberating themselves because one feels like they know better than the people seems just like the imperialist logic, just reversed. What are your thoughts? Does the text reflect common opinion among anarchists?

You gotta be like 10 years old to support the attack on Iran. They always frame these invasions as saving the "protestors". That's why they fund the protesters.

Anybody who has any knowledge of history: Libya, Iraq, Chile, Vietnam, etc, etc ,etc.... will realize that the "liberation" of Iran is a huge pile of imperial shit.

Why are "anarchists" supporting an imperial invasion led by an overt fascist? It's pretty wild the power of propaganda.

Is this your first time at the rodeo or do you seriously think it'll be different this time?

“protestors”

That’s why they fund the protesters.

Here we can see a USian, from the comfort of their native Oklahoma, smugly implying that the browns have no agency and no mind of their own. After all, the """analysis""" of a white Australian woman is necessarily superior to that of those living there who, obviously, did not consider the ramifications of their uprising, which is fake and led by CIA paid actors.
