    What kind of person the Ayatollah was is completely irrelevant to the fact that the strikes on Iran are illegal and an attempt to overthrow one regime and replace it with another regime that kowtows to US-Israeli interests. If the Iranian government was exactly the same but was US-Israel allied instead, nothing would have been done. See: Saudi regime.

    Talking only about the character of the Ayatollah and ignoring the criminal actions of the fascist US regime only helps Trump and helps to normalise these actions.

    Id say that if you support this terrorism you inherently understand that US foreign policy is bipartisan and that it doesn’t matter who is president.

    i celebrate it as a potential feather that might break the horse’s back for the man on the right (including everything that he represents), and i regret the loss of lives and needless violence just to keep a hundred or so cannibalistic, pedophilic, psychopathic oligarchs in control of the world.

      Unfortunately imperialist actions like this don’t really “Wake people up” Most people are completely unaffected and the only ones who care are related to the issue or are already involved in anti imperialist messaging and organizing. If you ask anybody they prob have a very middle position of not wanting a war but also hating iran and thinking its justified. very “whats to be done” kinda ppl

      The deaths are needless, to truly speak to the masses we ourselves have to go out and speak to the masses and organize.

    I wouldn’t call them ‘Trump’ supporters necessarily, but they are shamelessly supportive of US imperialism.

        Russia goes out of its way to avoid civilian casualties, US goes out of its way to kill as many civilians as possible, and Israel’s raison d’être is to kill civilians - all of them.

        And to preemptively respond to the dronies planning to bleat about how Russia is pure evil incarnate orcs and how anyone on the internet who would deny that all Russians are child murdering demons must be a Kremlin bot: You don’t have to approve of Russia to recognize that it has valid material reasons for trying to minimize civilian casualties especially in the areas where the fighting is taking place. It is not a claim that Russia is doing it out of the kindness of their hearts but because it has a vested interest in a population it intends to govern.

        The US on the other hand doesn’t intend to govern Iran. It intends to either install a puppet government that does whatever the US wants including that the puppet be responsible for the suppression of the Iranian people. Or just as good if not preferable, the US intends to completely balkanize Iran and transform it into an ungoverned failed state.

        Israel does not intend to govern the Gazan people, it intends to wipe them out completely and replace them entirely with Western Jewish settlers.

      Not really, but there is critical support, which is how Marxists see this situation.

      Critical support is supporting something while also being critical of its flaws. It is often used in the context of supporting bourgeois states that fight against imperialism or are under imperialist aggression.

      Imagine if you got whacked by a random bigot on the street and a witness said “i want no part on this”, whose side do you think that person is?
