This is a stupid take.
The Allies didn't go to war with Italy and Germany because of their internal sociopolitical problems, to instill democracy to dictatorships. They did it because The Axis were invading other countries.
If those dictatorships had kept to themselves they may have survived much longer than they did.
Now I'm not saying this applies to the current circumstance, but just talking WWII.
If they stuck to their own countries, you are probably right that no one would have done anything. But would it have been so great that there was peace as Jewish people in Germany were so brutally killed?
Intervention should not be taken lightly or unilaterally by one or two nations, but it is sonething that should be an option to save a people from "their" government.
Surely there's a middle ground between letting a murderous regime stay in power and bombing their civilians?
Well, yes, that's why I explicitly said I wasn't saying this would apply to current scenario.
Are we stopping at territorial invasion (which Iran committed against UAE)? Iran is providing weapons to Russia, hezbollah, hamas, houtis and Iraqi militias. Iran is attaching ships on international waters. Iran is also active in hybrid cybernetic warfare against western countries. Where is the line you need to cross to make it justifiable to intervene?
And once the invaders had been put back into Germany, the allies just stopped at the border?
