Then you have non Iranian whose hate for the west is too much that they will support any brutal dictatorship as long as the dictatorship is against the west. Don't even get me started on Venezuela 😭
Humanity and human rights ain't a buffet where u can pick what u like and leave what you don't like.

I have always been convinced when it comes to most Iranian activists, their hate for the ragime made them support Gaza genocide. Now that Iranians are protesting, those who were pro Palestinians are now automatically pro Iranian regime and seeing some activists begging for Iran to be bombed by US.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

A Criminal Empire The United States launches a conquest and occupation of Venezuela to extract its oil wealth. The neocon dream is the America First dream

The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

As @meron.bsky.social posted, Eritrean asylum seekers set to be deported by ICE are saying they'd rather commit suicide than face the monstrous regime. This happened before when Habtom committed suicide in Canada after his asylum was denied. πŸ’”
