Euroclowns just approved sanctions on 19 Iranian officials. Not on the US, not on Israel, the country that was attacked. Human rights champions have their priorities.

@yogthos I'm surprised you seem completely pro Iran on this one -- shitty wars or not I hope the Theocracy falls and people from Iran end up freer than they were. Sanctions on Iran have made sense since the 80s it would seem to me.

Same with Russia and Putin: I for one hope he slips in the shower or dies in his sleep tonight and this destabilizes the oligarchy and brings about free elections. It would be good news for almost all Russians.

Am I wrong?

I would say, theocracy or not supporting invasion war for oil is never a good idea. Don't forget that the theocracy was a result of revolution, due to USA that killed Mossadegh iranian first minister first. He was elected by people, the assembly decided to nationalisation of Iranian oil extraction.

The USA pushed and helped the Shah, that was a rude monarchy dictator, that tortured a lot. Since this time US and Europe armed Saddam Hussein in Iraq to make the Iraq-Iran war that killed billions peoples and reinforced theocratic power. At each war they are reinforced and it become difficult for the people to make things progress.

The try of USA+Israel to push the son of the Shah in Iran in December, stopped the running revolution, a large part of population in Iran supported the homeland against external aggressor. Iranian people is really smart and well educated. They generally don't like theocratic power, nor monarchic power, nor USA-Israel fascists states old household that try to destroy them as they do with all Israel neighbour. Liban is not theocratic, Palestine isn't either, nor Syria or Iraq.

@Popolon yeah that's another really important point that all these regressive regimes are themselves a direct result of western interventions.

Back in the 50s, most of West Asia was moving towards socialism. And the west stomped out socialist movements, which created room for theocracies.
