        I am also keenly aware that the Iranian regime has killed well over 10 000 of their own

        Bullshit made-up Zionist propaganda. Even washington-based NGOs give figures well below the 10.000. Stop spreading fucking Nazi propaganda.

          I wonder what causes you to lie, when you have information available that indicates the contrary.

          Are you perhaps related to some group which Israel has attacked? Then I would understand the desperate need to support any tyrant, as long as they are against Israel.

          If I were you, I would critically examine my news sources.

            Lmfao the Wikipedia article literally references the 7000 figure I gave you from my link, can you read?

            Are you perhaps related to some group which Israel has attacked?

            Yes, Israel has attacked people like me: with a heart and a functioning brain. Which of the two are you lacking?

        Also, if you’re literally using the same type of propaganda that Putin uses. The Ukrainian government was bombing eastern Ukraine before the war up to 2022 leading to 3500 civilians killed, and this is Putin’s justification for invasion. Why are you using Putin’s tactics?

          The Ukrainian government was bombing eastern Ukraine before the war up to 2022 leading to 3500 civilians killed, and this is Putin’s justification for invasion.

          You are miserably misinformed.

          Do you actually know that war in Eastern Ukraine started in 2014? Have you read the timeline?

          Yes, when a land war occurs, both sides will be shelling each other.

          The casualty numbers are unlikely, though, since it was a low-intensity conflict. But it was intense enough to drive 2 million people from their homes.

          At some point, a ceasefire was reached, with sides agreeing to remove heavy guns and missile launchers to a distance from the line of contact. Then the ceasefire failed.

          You mention “Putin’s justification for invasion”. :D :D :D

          He was already invading Ukraine. He had taken Crimea in 2014 and had been trying to take Donbas ever since, with low intensity warfare.

          His true grievance was that Ukrainians had a revolution in 2014, and drove out president Viktor Yanukovich, whom Putin had friendly ties with. He responded with military force.

          Please, study history. Do not let propagandists twist you around a finger.

            Huh, that reminds me of something. “In 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran published statistics showing that 4,037,258 Iranians were living abroad”. I wonder if the economic sanctions destroying the Iranian life have anything to do with that?

            At all points, Russia was supporting an army of approximately 30 000 to 40 000 soliders in Eastern Ukraine

            And how many soldiers and dissidents is the US paying? Does Iran live in isolation without US meddling and intervention? How many anti-Iranian militias are funded in the vicinity by the US? How about the literal training of Al-Qaeda leaders?

            You mention “Putin’s justification for invasion”. He was already invading Ukraine in 2022

            And the US toppled the democratically elected Mosaddeq government in Iran and reinstated the Shah as far back as 1953. Funny, we only analyze history for Ukraine? Does this fall apart for Iran?
