"F*cking leech"

I'm not the monarchist in this conversation.

"You clearly don’t know the mindset of Iranians"

I know far more than any disillusioned royalist.

Especially one that thinks Iranians have forgotten how the US helped Saddam butcher them and how it's US sanctions that are crippling them.

There is no way that US force can bring down Iran.

US aggression is more likely to unite the Iranian people.

They may hate the regime, but they hate the US more.

They haven't forgotten this--->

I think that he has boxed himself into a corner.

His game plan seems to be that if we send the Navy to be near their coast, the Iranians will make a mistake and shoot first, then we can fire back.
Whatever else the Iranian leadership is I can't see them being that stupid

"Is the US a theocracy?"

Not yet, but the Republicans are trying to make it one.

Imagine believing that and ignoring Trump's economic war on Iran----->

At least if you do that, you won't be able post complete nonsense.

"You can't criticise Iran"

I haven't said that Iran can't be criticised.

I have said that without our actions, there would never have been a theocratic regime.

1953 US/UK Coup otherthrew a democratic leader & installed a dictator.
1979 Iranians rose up and overthrew that hated dictator.

I don't know what your problem is with English comprehension, but I haven't been debating morals.

But if I were to ask, what was the British moral superiority in overthrowing a democratic leader who intended to nationalise oil for the benefit of the people?
So BP could keep on stealing it.

"The US+UK MAY hold SOME responsibility for contributing to conditions that enabled Iran's authoritarianism. "

It's a simple historical fact.

"Everything is the West's fault"

I have already corrected you on this.

Try scrolling back and reading again.

Perhaps you should consider a debating style where you use facts and don't change the goalposts every time you fail to make a point.

"Ridiculous logic."

No, actions have consequences, and the coup to replace a democracy with a monarchist dictatorship paved the way for the revolution.

"It has been almost uniquely free from Western influence"

Sure it has:

I only know of two Yes/No referendums, and they have both been complete disasters.

UK (2016) Should we remain in the EU? Yes/No.

Iran(1979) Should Iran be ruled by Islamic law? Yes/No.
January 31, 2026 at 3:26 PM
I thought he was attacking Iran for doing all those things.
January 31, 2026 at 3:15 PM
"It is not the West's fault that Iran is a repressive hellhole, or that the regime has murdered thousands of its own people"
Yes, it is.
But why do you keep saying *The West* when its is the US/UK?

"It's not just economic "

You seem to have some difficulty in comprehending English.
I clearly stated that the beginning of the protests were economic and then widened

'West bad'
Too Iranians, the US is indeed bad. It instigated the 1953 coup and assisted Saddam in killing thousands of Iranians
