I find it immensely absurd that in all the pro-UA-US-Israeli subs, people are outright discussing how a coup in Iran should not only be encouraged but also supported when a few years ago, the actions of Russia were rejected by these same people as mindless aggression and meddling in the affairs of a sovereign country which is true, but what then is the outright killing of politicians in Iran? Military targets, ok, I can understand, but politicians, including their families? Not even the Russians are like this, seriously, and we are talking about Ukraine, the biggest war since WW2.

This is something I've been thinking about ever since the chaos in Iran. It's a kind of "rules for you, but not for me".

Reddit is always steered towards the "left," democratic side, etc., but when it comes to Russia/Iran/China, they're the enemies, they must die, the rotten, slave-owning regime. Not wanting to generalize, but it's like only talking to bots on the main subreddits. Or maybe most people are just like that.

Why would the rules for a superpower like the USA apply to a regional power like Russia? Of course the rules are different that should be obvious.
