Sure, and both parties in the war between America and Afghanistan don't deserve support and yet only one side lost hundreds of thousands if not a million people

And both parties in the war between America and Iraq don't deserve support and yet only one side lost hundreds of thousands if not a million people (on top of the million murdered via sanctions)

And both parties in the government overthrow of Libya by America don't deserve support and yet only one side had their infrastructure bombed, and went from being the most successful country in their continent to a failed state

I'm about forty and have no idea if you're older than me but clearly age doesn't guarantee wisdom

Also the people the Iranian government killed were literally armed, there's literally footage of them shooting people; I have zero faith in the sources claiming those numbers and the Iranian government is 100% justified in taking out violent, armed traitors, which even our own government said had mossad embedded between them

I'll absolutely talk smack about the Iranian government when their country is safe, like I would with comprador states, but in a time when Iran is fighting for its life I'll offer critical (only slightly critical) support; even the anti-government Iranians began seeking national unity after Israel literally bombed five hospitals and apartment buildings in the 12 day war; they're not stupid, they know what their enemies are going to do to them. You AREN'T supporting the Iranian people if you aren't supporting the ones fighting back and keeping the country safe; if not the Iranian government, who else in Iran is fighting Israel and America?

Go to hell
