> Any society will collapse if deprived of essential goods by an external force. IR is not deprived of essential goods. They are trading with all the neighbors and many international partners. > Cultural practices that we disagree with can be remediated through peaceful means or at least settled by Iranians. It's not like women aren't capable of resistance or their own political voice. Do you mean cultural practice of beating women to death for refusal to wear hijab? What is exactly the voice these women have? > I presume you also wish to invade U.S. ally Saudi Arabia. No, I am not. FWIW saudis seem to be totally fine with their ruling family. Iranians, on the other hand, are not. There is a huge difference between what we see in Iran, and what we see in SA. Moreover, saudis do no chant “death to america”, do not believe in the spread of Islamic revolution, and are not working on nuclear weapons. > I also presume you also spend all day thinking about how you wish to destroy random African countries you barely know the name of. Can you explain to me how did you get from me pointing out that IR is a regime governed by the idea of spreading Islamic revolution and random African countries? > You believe in spreading "democracy" like a French revolutionary from the early 1800s. lol no. You can’t spread democracy if locals don’t believe in democracy. Iranians believe in democracy, and they do have a chance once the regime is gone, or, at least they give up their nukes, and stop enrichment. If Iran has nukes, Saudis and others in the region would want nukes. I think we need to have fewer nukes in the world and not more.
