        Of course the US has no grounds for criticism in this realm either. I am not debating that. You are the one bringing up the US at the moment, however.

            If we are talking about criticizing excessive responses to protests? Considering how aggressively they crack down on protesters in Russia, I’d say “any content relevant to protests and crackdowns”. And it’s also worth noting that Russia hasn’t said a single fucking thing to Iran criticizing their extremely violent paramilitary response to the numerous nationwide protests that have happened in Iran in recent (and not so recent) years.

              their extremely violent paramilitary response to the numerous nationwide protests that have happened in Iran in recent (and not so recent) years.

              Which sources said that Iran was doing this?

              if you’re going to compare a genuine protest like the ones in france to the fake attempts in russia and in iran, it’s always going to look hypocritical to you i guess.
