And I've seen people on lemmy going on about how it's all the US's fault because some reportclaimed us arms and supplies were discovered, but like.....
You didn't HAVE to kill thousands of people for what you still call a protest movement.
Whether protesters are backed by the west or not, the response to murder everyone at a protest is unquestionably wrong.
It is the west fault their economy crashed, it is the west fault they have no running water in the cities. It is the west fault the people dont want to live under one of the most oppresive regimenes in the world.
Must be nice to be a politician from a non-west nation, they can blame the west for everything.
No one in the west wants what is going to happen, Iran won't be a livable place soon enough.
I'm 100% certain this is true but it doesn't mean the protests aren't justified.
Iran basically spent it's time stacking large quantities of wood while soaking it in gasoline and now they cry foul someone tossed a match in it.
The best way to avoid foreign interference at a protest level is by not treating your citizens like shit.
May I humbly give another prospective on the matter? Iran is among the most sanctioned countries in the world. link
Being a victim of imperialism doesn't mean getting a free pass to be a dick. I'll need a lot more to actually side with Iran's government, if that's what you mean.
Man, and here's Iran, always taking the high road, steadfastly refusing to attempt to influence Western countries using underhanded techniques - and what do they get for it? Foreign intervention! Well I never. I guess they're just going to have to step up their game and start fucking with the West now eh? Sauce for the goose and all that!
Well, they know it's not Trump. "intelligence"
Said foreign intelligences bragged about it themselves
“No way!!! The american and zionists nazi who bombed Iran last year, that promised to do it again and that they are now explicitly saying they have operatives on the ground are behind these spontaneous protests!?! No frickin way dude!!” sad hawks noises 🦅😔
