Vis a vis Zelenskyy and Ukraine’s stance here: do you seriously expect them to ignore the fact that Iran was a key enabler of the tens of thousands of Shahed terror drones, and the subsequent Russian clones? Do you genuinely think there’s even the faintest sliver of governmental or public sympathy in Ukraine for Iran - a country that has been providing significant material support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - from pretty much the outset of the active phase of the war started in 2022?
Be serious. This is far less “bending the knee” and far more “fuck those guys, because they were punching us in the dick”.
Ukraine desperately wants the United States to continue supporting them, and currently, the US is run by a group that has been mixed in their support. Trump in particular has been rather unsupportive of Ukraine. Trump is also a figure that is very easily swayed by flattery, so if Zelensky can show himself as among the few that is saying good things about the US’s actions in Iran, that may help them secure more solid continuing support in their struggles against Russia.
So it’s not just that they have little cause for sympathy with Iran, but also that they have good reason to speak out in favor of the US.
It is today expected of heads of state to have a public opinion on big international events. Not to mention that at least suggesting support for the US is advantageous to his cause. Which, again, is what he’s allowed to prioritise.
So wait, do Iranians live under a repressive regime with no say in their country’s actions, or are they actually responsible for their country’s action to the extent that aggression against them can be justified?
Could have shut his mouth but he got on his knees.

So they get to say screw the Iranian civilians, including elderly and children? Fuck that.
They get to say “we have our own naked survival to care about”.
Then they shouldn’t have said anything and focused on that.

Once you lick the boot, you have to keep licking.
It’s either lick or die
You don’t get it. It’s lick and die anyway.

He’s between the devil and deep blue sea and showing his desperation. Extremely unwise.
Okay.
Did the Iranian civilians care about Ukrainian civilians?

It’s crazy how Liberals scream the term Tankie all day but then support the exact hypocrisy they accuse Tankies of.
It’s always projection lol
I can absolutely understand that he’d think about his own people first.
