United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.

    I’m very left. We don’t support Iran’s regime. They are murderous monsters. And are against everything we stand for like feminism and LGBTIQ rights

    That doesn’t mean it’s ok to unilaterally and in contravention to international law start bombing the shit out of Iran. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

    Also it’s not an actual solution. The US destroyed Iraq’s pretty bad regime, then left a power vacuum that made things even worse for their people and created ISIS.

    In Afghanistan they created just a temporary relief until they gave up and things returned back to how they were.

    This time it caused a lot shit for the whole world and there isn’t even a plan for after.

      Libya is an even better example of a situation of were Western attacks claiming to be meant to “Overthrow a murderous dictator and bring in Democratic values” made things vastly worse.
