    Considering Canada declared Iran’s army as a terrorist entity…

      Not all militaries are equal. Iran != Canada - don’t fall into both-sidesism.

        Canada’s military was responsible for the subjugation and genocide of many First Nations group, including against the Metis, Cree, and Assiniboine peoples, as well as deployed abroad to subjugate the Boers in South Africa in support of the British Empire. The Canadian Army was also deployed in Afghanistan, where Western powers fought for two decades to replace the Taliban with the Taliban and caused untold amounts of suffering in the process.

        Now do Iran.

          The Clovis people would like a word.

          But they’re wiped out. Violently.

          Weird how that’s not in the stories though.

            Genocide is ok because it happened in the past? Glad to know how much you respect the rule of law and whatever.
