This is Lemmy. I ain’t telling you squat about my personal life; it’s beside the point, which is that supporting the invasion of Ukraine and opposing the assault on Iran is hypocritical. Of course neither civilian population likes the war, but is that justification for them to just fold their right to sovereignty?
“The purpose of this operation is to protect people who for eight years now have been facing humiliation and genocide perpetrated by the Kyiv regime,” [Putin] said, according to an English translation from the Russian Mission in Geneva. “To this end, we will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as bring to trial those who perpetrated numerous bloody crimes against civilians, including against citizens of the Russian Federation.”
The difference being that Iran wasn’t working on developing nuclear weapons, but the Ukrainian government was exterminating ethnic Russians in the region.
I am going to remember this next time a western power invades someone to “defend democracy.”
I’m sure you’re protesting the invasion of Iran right this moment, lmao
Yes. Yes, I am! It’s a shitshow, and whether we like the country or not, Iran at least deserves to have its sovereignty recognized.
Good work, proud of you! Are you American? Which protest are you marching in?
