    Ok so

    eu: -Perfect but just short of it -The imperfections overshadowed by importance -Importance comes from value of european lives -Threatened by Russia and the US -Once again important due to needed unity

    Iran: -Scared and worried -Untrust worthy of governing it’s people -I care about iranians rights a lot -They deserve to have their government modified -Modifications should not harm resistance to US -We need to plan for that change in government -The US warcrimes against iran are bad but we should focus on how much worst than Iranian government’s they are -The issue with the warcrimes is that they are getting in the way of resisting their government

    Are you racist? I feel like you’re not judging these two groups of people equally

    Can you also do this for US and Israel as well, i think comparing how lenient you’ll be with them when they’re not being massacred like cattle vs how rigid and cold you are with Iranians while they are is going to say so much

      Can you please point to where I said I was the arbiter of what that change would look like or what the yardistick should be?

      The equivalence here which is not broken imho, and if broken I need to change my POV, is local autonomy for both EU citizens and Iranians are of prime importance. Both EU citizens and Iranians deserve to control their own respective governments, free of outside influence. Both EU & Iranian people deserve to be in charge of their own day to day lives, without an imposition of any particular religious behavior or set of norms.

        The issue that you wouldn’t worry about regime change in any country in the EU if that country was being bombed by two aggressors

        The fact you care so little about the aggression to the point you’d rather focus or keep bringing up issues that no Iranian in their right mind would prioritize right now because death, killing, missiles, no water or electricity, currency devalued, shows how little you care about that suffering

        You’d never bring up regime change or emissions or drug trafficking for any EU country if they were being hit by more than 2000 missiles

        you are insane at best and racist at worst, i’m sorry but you have to reflect here or just actually watch how united everyone in Iran is for their government right now
