What kind of person the Ayatollah was is completely irrelevant to the fact that the strikes on Iran are illegal and an attempt to overthrow one regime and replace it with another regime that kowtows to US-Israeli interests. If the Iranian government was exactly the same but was US-Israel allied instead, nothing would have been done. See: Saudi regime.

Talking only about the character of the Ayatollah and ignoring the criminal actions of the fascist US regime only helps Trump and helps to normalise these actions.

It’s crazy that these 2 are nearly the same age

I wouldn't call them 'Trump' supporters necessarily, but they are shamelessly supportive of US imperialism.

i celebrate it as a potential feather that might break the horse's back for the man on the right (including everything that he represents), and i regret the loss of lives and needless violence just to keep a hundred or so cannibalistic, pedophilic, psychopathic oligarchs in control of the world.

Is there an option to not support anyone?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago

No you either support imperialist invasions or you don't. There is no fence to sit on.

Not really, but there is critical support, which is how Marxists see this situation.

Critical support is supporting something while also being critical of its flaws. It is often used in the context of supporting bourgeois states that fight against imperialism or are under imperialist aggression.

Nope. Think of it like a trolley problem.
