Much like with Iraq and Afghanistan, there actually ARE very good reasons to intervene. Iran has been murdering protestors by the thousands for the past year and a LONG history of human rights abuses before that.
But the plight of Brown People™ doesn’t sell to the Left or the Right. So instead we focus on “uranium enrichment”.
And then we see the same shit as with Venezuela where the complete lack of empathy for non-caucasians results in all the tankies deciding that anyone who actually IS happy that an evil fascist is gone/dead is too stupid to understand how things work.
And, of course, we have the republican chuds who similarly need to focus on this being about protecting white people rather than just… caring about human rights.
Of course, it is also hard to do that when you have two pro-genocide governments involved. But… we got how many decades out of thinking that The Allies actually cared about The Jews and The Romanis and so forth when we went to war with Germany?
The sad/ironic thing?
