Now apply this argument to Saudi Arabia and ask yourself why Iran is on the receiving end of this propaganda and not the former. America gives zero fucks about the oppressed minorities of this world, in fact, it is to blame for a lot of this oppression. War and starvation never improved any society.

> Now apply this argument to Saudi Arabia

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.

Grandparent was specifically pointing to women's rights as a reason to invade Iran and overthrow their government. I was asking why we never hear such things against Saudi Arabia, a country that is comparatively misogynistic. My point is that the invasion of Iran isn't coming from any good intentions for its people. The United States have shown times and times again that they are fine with dictatorships, as long as the dictator in question grants them privileged access to whatever they may desire. Hell, they've even created dozens of dictatorships accross the world, sometimes even overthrowing democracies.
