    We can lift sanctions after they stop being shitty to themselves and supporting Russia. Not before.

      “We must collective punish the Iranian people until they overthrow their government and install a Western backed puppet regime”

      Strange how you didn’t just state that they should stop supporting Russia as the demand. Iran started supporting Russia more after mountains of Western sanctions when they complied with the no-nuclear deal. Wonder why.

        Western progressives love collectively punishing brown people. They were cheering on Israel for years and only shut up recently because the optics weren’t so good anymore.

      Consider this folks. It’s the Iranian State that controls the levers in question being sanctioned.

      That’s weird because Trump unilaterally ripped up the Iran nuclear deal in 2015 and reimposed sanctions without any violation from Iran.

          Sanctions were reimposed recently. Like I said, go see what happened after the sanctions were lifted.

          If you think the only one with power in Iran is Khomani, you don’t understand the basics of the Iranian power structure.

            And I did and what happened was while celebrating happened nothing genuinely changed. The Iranian State was still in place and repressive, the Economy was not booming, and the Moderate faction got purged from government with the people turning their backs to the whole idea of electoral reform.

            Then it’s a good thing I don’t think that. I think that what is in power is a theocratic right wing state who oppresses its people and enriches itself
