      Don’t worry, I understand that - while it may seems to be an analogous situation on the surface - Ukraine a White country and Iran is not, and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.

        Ukraine a White country and Iran is not

        And yet Iran is literally where the “Aryians” originated who were idolized by Hitler.

        , and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.

        Here is the actual thing that makes all the difference in the world. It would be racist to think that Iranians don’t deserve human rights and freedom, which implies they aren’t as good as people in the west.

        Russia, Iran - dictatorships.

        Ukraine - democracy

        Israel - democracy (but moving away)

          The fact that you consider Israel a democracy when it denies millions of its subjects, not just the right to vote, but all rights at all, further demonstrates that you’re just a white supremacist.
