    Don’t paint Iran as nice guys. Or even as civilized. These are more racist, more homophobic, more religious nutjob, than any Grand Wizard of the KKK ever was. Part of their M.O. is literally just sowing chaos and straight-up civilian-killing terror.

      Uh… Setting aside how half (but not all, to be clear) of what you just said is propaganda, how does that have anything to do with what I said?

      Here’s the rub - the UN charter doesn’t have a seperate set of rules for countries you don’t think are civilized. That’s not how international law works.

      We either try to have a rules based international order or we don’t. Without it, we sow the seeds for nuclear proliferation and great power / law of the jungle politics.

        Right now Trump is aligned with Iran, China, and Russia in attempting to dismantle the rules-based order.

        Europe, S Korea, Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico largely trying to preserve what they can

      Eh, the racist bit is really underserved. They probably have the least racist society of the region, that is still horrible by liberal standards, but it’s less worse than everybody around them.
