That is why when they chant "Death to America" they mean that they love us?

Given Irans track record wrt women rights, and inability of Iranians to accept violence toward their women, IR doesn’t need the US or anyone else to destroy their society.
> Stop attacking a country half-way around the world, they will stop even thinking about us.
Why would they? IR is ruled by radical Muslims who believe in spreading the rule of Islamic Revolution. Why should we not believe them?

I also presume you also spend all day thinking about how you wish to destroy random African countries you barely know the name of. You believe in spreading "democracy" like a French revolutionary from the early 1800s.
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.
What argument? Saudi Arabia and IR are fundamentally different countries and cultures. Do you see the same dissatisfaction of saudis with the ruling family?
Saudis are not interested in getting nukes unless Iran gets nukes.
Saudis are not revolutionaries and don’t care about the spread of revolution.
