a far cry from a government that routinely executes it's own citizens and calls for the complete annihilation of another country.
Regardless, if Iran had a nuke, as you say, they'd continue to foster terrorism and proxy wars without fear, and that can't happen.
The US executes its citizens "routinely," there is a death penalty in some states for serious crimes. Coach posted about a wrestler having been executed by the Iranian regime. I said he was accused of hacking to death police officers. Coach's reply: "good." But if that happened in the US the wrestler might be executed too. Furthermore, during various US protests Trump has wanted to put military against them and also to shoot at them. So on what grounds can the US condemn Iran for putting down a protest that was admittedly fostered and enabled by Israeli Mossad? Yet furthermore, it's now claimed the regime killed 45,000 protesters. What this figure is based on you can see in the attached pictures. Also, Saudi routinely executes homos and adulterers and protestors via decapitation by sword and Trump and his family are very friendly with them and even wants them to have nuclear and thus a possibility to make nukes. These are Sunni MUSLIMS FFS! LOL
Regarding your second point, it's said Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. I say the US is by far the biggest. The US has admittedly fostered, built and supplied with weapons numerous Sunni MUSLIM Jihadi designated terrorists to do the US's dirty work. Israel does the same. Donald fkn Trump has hosted in the WH and praised a Sunni Jihadist head chopper who's killed Americans as I've posted about many times.
The US is involved in numerous proxy wars. Ukraine is a current example. And now the US is complaining because Russia and China are helping Iran LOL. So all these complaints against Iran on moral or legal grounds ring hollow, to me at least. BTW, the US wants to dismantle the ICC because it put out warrants for Netanyahu's arrest, saying the ICC absolutely can't do that. But the US had no complaints when Putin was issued warrant earlier LOL.
