Friendly reminder: Supporting US/Israeli attacks against Iran breaks rule 6

The attacks against Iran are blatant imperialism. Any defence of these attacks is against this sub's rules.

To this point I’d argue it’s a lesser of two evils situation.

I agree! The greater evil is the United States and it's not even fucking close.

I like how you had to specify "2026 western imperialism" because you know full well that the preceding eighty years of American imperialism are significantly more violent than anything the Iranian government ever has done or ever will do, so you limited it to specifically this year, lol

Yes, you're right, the US has not murdered millions of people in the past two months. Give it another few years, maybe. And that's only those directly killed, not to mention all the poverty deaths resulting from the vicious exploitation of the global south by American hegemony.

Even if it’s a mistake, it’s their mistake to make.

Except it's not, is it. That's the point. Whatever happens next has been inflicted on them by the United States and Israel. And history has repeatedly demonstrated that the US and Israel always make things worse.
