It's times like this I wish I had a youtube channel so I could repeatedly tell anti-government Iranians "No one's trying to help you, we're not there to help you, stop opposing your government, this isn't the time for this"

Either there's a plan to simply destabilize Iran to the point of never ending in-fighting that potentially leads to balkanization (with a chunk of Iranian Somaliland), or plain simply there's no plan to help anyone and the goal is to just murder lots of people until Iran just offers an unconditional surrender. The former is usually the plan, but Trump likes to think of himself as a strong leader who can force others to give him what he wants; Hegseth is like a manifestation of that aspect of his personality, and bearing the same trademark incompetence.

I want someone to say it so badly. As someone with South American family who just had to go through this shit with them cheering on the Maduro kidnapping, it's soooooo annoying seeing Iranian friends make the same mistakes. It makes me even more mad than seeing the whitest of chuds celebrate the same thing.

The global south and EMPOC needs solidarity, division is how the empires have gotten away with it all this time. You can decide your leaders after you have sovereignty, without that, you have no chance of getting anything else. Pay attention, read history, please be smart about this.
