Iranian state media confirms death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - Lemmy

Nobody will miss him, although I am more afraid now more than ever of the new global order that’s taking shape. A world order where the USA can do whatever the heck they want with no ripercussions. I get that Khamenei and Maduro were authoritarian, but heck, we cant even justify war and invasions the same way we did when we basically destroyed the whole middle east bringing death and destruction and anything but freedom, democracy and overall wellbeing
The people of Iran are rallying around Khamenei for being martyred, and Maduro was democratically elected and supported by the majority. You have a very western viewpoint.

Maduro was democratically elected and supported by the majority.

Forgive my ignorance, but didn’t Maduro ban opposition party leaders from campaigning against him?

I’m not saying or agreeing with the orange man, what he did was wrong. It’s not our place to intervene in other countries, but this is what I’ve heard everywhere.

Haven’t seen anything like that, but it wouldn’t surprise me if western-backed orgs were targeted.
