@bencourtice @InsurgoFormica @mcnado it is hard to say if in case of Iran it was unprovoked given the Irans statements of annihilation of state of Izrael and supporting terorist group around the world and technically supporting Russian invasion of Ukraine. I understand it is hard to explain to citizens of never oppressed nation (except WW2). But I was raised in country where was more than 40 years oppression from communist regime. My family was stripped of farm, declared “enemy of state”, stripped of posibility to study on university, etc. And being under soviet occupation for more than 20 years, now living as expat in country that have been oppressed by Soviet Union since 1940 till USSR collapse and about every seventh citizen have been removed (killed/deported to Gulag). This historical and family/friends experience is giving completely different perspective. No one on you never shouted while being first grade pupil, that you called teacher miss teacher and not comrade teacher. No one called your parent to school to make issue of it. And no one disallowed you to attend hobby lessons because of this and your ancestors. So forgive me, that I have different opinion and feelings.
