    The UK media did not. It was mentioned they were used but with no judgement one way over another. The amount of UK weapons used to execute civilians, to them this is state normal.

    Myanmar are Ethiopia are doing much worse to civilians. Saudi are horrific for rights. Those countries are barely mentioned. It’s not about atrocities. It’s about Western foreign policy.

      Well fuck UK media then, lol.

      Maybe I misunderstood you. I’ve been seeing too many people running defense for Iran these days, and by running defense I don’t mean justifying Iranian retaliation (totally justified to strike back if you’re attacked) but rather defending the Iranian government retroactively.

      Both Myanmar and Ethiopia are in active states of civil war. By the very nature of civil war they are doing much worse to their citizens. Iran hasn’t been in a civil war, yet it’s still brutalizing its citizens. Even more than the Saudis.
