And then there is Cuba. Conundrum after conundrum. Oh for the good old days when you could tell the bad guys from the good without a playlist.
Wait, in the 'good old days', there was Vietnam.
Just because the US launched one of the stupidest and least planned wars in a century, does not make the Iranian government good.
Just two months ago they were killing thousands of protestors.
The saudi regime is as bad we don't have any sanction on them. Israel is doing the worst crime in humanity a fucking genocide we don't have sanctions on the state itself. Any kind of sanctions in the war makes it harder for iran to defend itself for being genocided too. So please stop with your hypocrisy
Ah, but the Saudi regime has dumptrucks full of money.
And just because the Iranian government is an ass doesn't give America the right to bomb them. Or why don't they go after every other country whose government does bad things. Sorry in this case the US is the "bad guy".
And Israel.
Iran was being sanctioned before the attack too. A lot of people act like any enemy of Trump is their ally, but this is not so.
Nobody is claiming that. This is just an idiotic straw man. You don't have to support the government in Iran to understand that invading countries is wrong. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Americans...
I did not claim that starting a war on Iran was OK. I said that sanctioning them is OK. Sanctions on Iran should not stop just because of Trump's idiotic war.
The Lancet has published data concluding that US imposed sanctions cause the deaths of more than 564,000 people each year. More than half of the dead are children under the age of 5. If that's what you support, you're utterly sick.

With the express and publicly stated purpose to bring so much physical economic pain to the people so that they revolt against the gov't.
The alternative is to trade with the totalitarian regime, which serves to keep them in power. If you could support the people but not the regime then of course that would be the best course of action, but that is not how it works.
We are trading wit an tolitarian regime called saudi arabia. It is not of canada goddamn business to force iraninas to take out their own regime. It ia not like Iran want to attack Canada.
We all know all the sanctions are there simply because Iran was made an enemy of the usa and israel
You should check how sanctions are affecting the people of Iran and in general what outcomes regime-change sanctions have produced around the world. Also check under what conditions better governments emerge out of worse ones. Hint: it tends not to be under severe sanctions.
People ruled by pedophile oligarchs don't get to decide which governments are 'good' and invade countries based on that.
Ok but who is being ruled by pedophile oligarchs? This is a Canadian sub. What is your point here, that we sanctioned Iran? While maybe we don't all wish that there's bombs falling on people's heads, at the same time the regime in Iran are far from sweethearts...
So when is Canada invading America? If not being sweethearts is the requirement.

Agreed, but this post is talking about Canada. Are you as confused about Canada’s sovereignty as Trump is?
Also, what’s up with the completely unrelated picture?
This is a bad post and a bad comment, man.

Yes, but have you considered the world is perfectly split into good and bad guys? /s

Not sure what to make of this. I think it's either an attempt to placate someone, perhaps the Canadian Iranian diaspora to keep things calm domestically, or they think that there's a real possibility for the IR to fall under the weight of more sanctions. The latter seems so unrealistic though.
E: But yeah, def not a good look.
Just seems to be another case of Carney crawling further up Trump's ass.
Yes, unlike America, who just bombs them and pretends they are "in talks"
no noo no nono noooo... we invite them to talks, then bomb them.
