      Wym? I think they’ve already said no to the USA quite a few times already.

        Don’t confuse my comment for support for the US’s actions against Iran. I’m simply highlighting that Iran is talking about a success of the US people being able to make democratic changes to their government (despite all its faults), whilst their own people can’t afford the same luxury.

          What’s tragic is that, yet again, the US has helped the Iranian hardliners maintain and strengthen their grip on power.

          So if you understand that there was no real pretext for an invasion, why are you comparing these two topics?

            Can’t I call out the hypocrisy? It’s irrelevant what the pretext was, the Iranian regime is still brutal and doesn’t allow it’s people to vote on how it’s government is run.

              Sure, but this is politics. All the bad things and the good things are true at the same time. If you try to make a scorecard of the lies and the truths, it will never end.

              Are the Americans meddlesome? Yes. Is it terrible that the current administration ended WHO support and overseas medical assistance programs? Also yes.

              We cannot have pure discourse, it doesn’t exist.
