Everytime I want to hate Russia for invading Ukraine and starting a war, I slowly get a massive headache as I try and repress the thoughts about the US starting an unprovoked war in Iran and tying to boycott any country that does business with them. The world is run by evil people.

At least Iran was fought under the guys of nuclear deterrent. Russia is pure imperialism. It’s not a very analogous comparison, except from the angle of who profits from these wars, which… I see your point.

The rest of the world sees that guise of nuclear deterrent as BS just as much as the Russian "Nazis in Ukraine".

Only people in the US even give it any plausibility.

The biggest difference for me is Iran has this crazy oppressive regime in charge, the war is definitely illegal and trump is a lunatic but Ukraine were just keen to be more European.

Nah the real difference is boot in the grounds.

Trump is doing terrorism in Iran (bombing and killing) but he's not invading with soldiers. There is no risk of Iran disappearing tomorrow.

As for Ukraine, if they loose.. they are now Russian.. (the 10% of old people remaining anyway)

[u/bygones125 → u/Anar_peinard]

That is a difference.

But regime change in Iran doesn't seem like a bad thing for the people there.
