Sigh, OK the first one: “Iran having nukes is a threat to the US security/Ukraine joining NATO (which would allow them to station nukes there) is a threat to Russian security”
1 Iran doesn’t have nukes nor is it rying to, so that’s anxcuse.
It is in no way comparable to NATO (which actually has nukes and is agressive) stationing them close to Moscow with no time to react.
That is a red line acknowledged and stated many times both by Russia and the US who were fully aware they wouldn’t take it.
Well, kudos where is due for giving one of your opinions!
Helps everyone better understand where you’re coming from. Your point that it is an unfair comparison would have more weight IF the position of Iran not working towards nuclear weapons is correct.
(As NATO does have nuclear options, Ukraine joining NATO would be akin to arming Ukraine with nuclear weapons)
In any case this is not the opinion held by the current proponents in the conflict, whether rightly or wrongly, so I believe Objection is entitled to their opinion.

That has been said by everyone, even the US.
Only genociders and their hasbara trolls say otherwise.
As we have learned, pisrahellis lie when they open their mouth.

Wait, your objection is that the comparison is too unfavorable to Russia? That’s the opposite of what I thought your problem was, which was that you were pro-war in Iran and anti-Russia, and took exception to the comparison based on that. This misunderstanding could have been avoided if you had, in any way, actually stated your positions from the start instead of acting like a dick for no reason. It also makes your, “everybody already knows why you’re wrong” statement even more ridiculous, considering that we’re having this conversation on .world.
My point is not to argue that these lines of argument are inherently valid or invalid, but to point out the contradiction of people who support US intervention in both Ukraine and Iran categorically accepting these lines in one case and categorically rejecting them in the other. You’ll note that I said:
It’s very silly how all these arguments are accepted as “obvious” and reasonable when it’s our side, but flip the picture and it suddenly it becomes just as “obvious” that those lines of reasoning are not valid. At no point is either Iran or Russia’s perspective seriously considered
Ideally, both perspectives should be considered and the lines of argument should be examined for validity on a case by case basis. However, if someone blindly accepts/rejects them in one case, refusing to even consider the other side’s perspective, then they’re being hypocritical if they don’t do the same in the other.
Again, you completely misinterpreted me and, because you decided to be a dick about it, only now do I have a chance to explain myself.

Lmao so you reply to someone else but not to me.
