I feel the same way I do about the invasion of Iraq.
A tyrant's death (and, in Iran, the possibility of) the overthrow of his regime cause me no tears. But I also recognize how immensely fucked things are going to get, how this wasn't the only course of action available for the USA, what effects this will have on OTHER matters of international relations, and what immense cost the ordinary people of the country are going to end up paying.
Not unlike the little girls killed in the opening salvo of the Iranian war
Just imagine, your head of state being targeted by a missile just because they crossed the wrong dude. That's where we're heading, and it's terrifying... Good thing Khamenei died, but the flagrant violation of international law and propaganda surrounding it is maddening...
This has always been the case for the third world.
Fair, international law only exists to protect the Global West
