Iran hasn't attacked Turkmenistan yet, so neutrality has protected them

  > Iran hasn't attacked Turkmenistan yet The fact that we have to pick out a single neighbour they haven’t attacked sort of lands the point.

    Okay, Afghanistan as well. Afghanistan is obviously not neutral, but they haven't participated in supporting US-Israeli attack on Iran How about now?

      > Afghanistan as well Sure, if you’re Turkmenistan or Afghanistan, the latter which is being bombed by Pakistan, you’re fine. Also if you’re Azerbaijan, fuck you. What’s the argument? Like, Oman was trusted by parts of Tehran on diplomatic matters. They still got bombed. Trying to rationalize this is untenable—it was a stupid strategy of throwing toys out of the pram.

        Doesn't look like you understood your own words about neutrality Azerbaijan does intelligence cooperation with Israel, against Iran, so it's not a neutral party. Oman, also shares their facilities to the US military.

          That's right. Hosting military bases of the overlords that impose crippling sanctions that impoverish a nation on false premises is quite far away from a neutral country. I didn't hear the neighbouring countries complain when Iran got attacked economically/financially and then later military. Not exactly the behaviour of a fair neighbour.
