    Easy.

    You don’t believe Iran is a despitic theocratic regime capable of murdering thousands of its own citizens.

    Its not a stretch to assume you believe Russia is on the right side of history as well.

    Also, for some reason you think I support the american attacks. I dont. Like I wrote in my first post.

    And somehow you think America’s attacks mean Iran is innocent.

        The American attacks were the protests, that’s the point you’re not understanding or refusing to acknowledge. They were not organic protests. I doubt most that participated were citizens, especially when 99% of the coverage was prewritten by NED-linked organizations.

        I’ve just been reading along this thread and I think this is the part I don’t understand.

        Is the idea here that the protests were Americans? I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘The American attacks were the protests’.

        Beyond that, if we accept strictly what Iran has released about the number of protestors killed it is still an incredible amount of violence for a two day period. The fact that the Iranian regime released the same number, 3117, for number of deaths on multiple different occasions regarding these protests is odd — it would indicate to me that the number is false and probably higher.

        Simply trying to understand what your point is here — I don’t necessarily disagree with most of what you’ve said. Specifically I agree with you that if we’d just left Iran alone things would have turned out much differently and much more positively for them.

          This guy would probably argue that the protest at Tiannamon Square was a CIA funded false flag operation. If he was allowed to even discuss it in a way that implied it really happened.

          Love that your ultimate response to any argument is “I’m bored of you” because you can’t bother to try to inform yourself and are simply pretending to know all about world affairs by going off vibes 🙄
