      Your post:

      no rational basis for a war

      It’s a gay-hanging dictatorship with a religious doomsday wish looking to get nuclear weapons

      indicates that you think there was a rational basis for war.

        Well I thought that the war against IS had a rational basis as well. Does that make you say that means I ‘support’ all the innocent casualties?

          The difference here is that Iran’s government got in power by a people’s revolution. The Iranian people ousted the Shah and largely support their government. Of course there are voices critical inside because they’re still facing oppression, but now from the revolution. However people are less likely to show tolerance and understanding when LGBTQ+ people are weaponised against their countries and when they see western LGTBQ+ people cheer for imperialist aggression against their countries makes, not more.

          If you truly care about the oppression of LGTBQ+ people what you should do is support peace and the hard work of agitating for more understanding and tolerance. As it stands a lot of people understand that the west and their imperialism is their enemy and a murder machine looking to devour them and if that machine then loudly cheers for gay rights they will think that this is to destroy their society as well. This is the reason that among other countries Russia states in support of their homophobia and Iran uses as well.

          You’re not going to bomb people into being more tolerant. Mandatory revolutionaryth0t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgwPECzyeG4 They are very cool and correct.

          Also the war against ISIS was also a complete shit-show and failure. Look who’s ruling Syria now. So many civilians dead and you have nothing to show for it. This is a pattern, and I can’t actually believe that you haven’t picked up on it. The USA claims to fight for <good value> but somehow that never comes to pass and instead a lot of people die for the profit of the epstein countries. Death to the USA and death to pissrael.

            largely support their government

            Source?

            Why do you think they had to kill all internal opposition?

            I think they may have 20% support or so. On a good day.

            Look who’s ruling Syria now

            Yeah…

            If you honestly believe that the Syrian people are worse off now or even close to how they would have been under ISIS… I think you’re probably living a very sheltered life far, far away
