    The us is insane. But looking for sympathy for a religious ethnostate that just murdered thousands of its civilians is a lol. GTFO 🤣

      Things were much better in Iran 10 years ago. They were enjoying quite moderate times. But then The Great Satan stabbed them in the back when Trump betrayed the Nukes Deal.

        No. Things were much better in Iran in the 70’s before the Islamic revolution took power in 79.

          Things were so great that the government got overthrown. People got tired of winning, said “Shah, we can’t take so much prosperity!”

            Is that so hard to believe? Or do I need to remind you that ISIS once controlled regions in the middle East. They weren’t exactly known for their promotion of prosperity, running around burning people alive, destroying museums, raping women and demolishing ancient statues and ruins.

        There’s a million valid reasons Trumpism is evil, but excusing the utter cruelty the Iranian government wields isn’t one of them.

        Explain how “great satan” forced the Iranian government to murder, maim, jail, and rape protestors last month.

          You don’t have to excuse anything. In WW2, the US had segregation, the European allies had brutal overseas empires, and the USSR had a police state. Still better than Nazi Germany.
