Ah, the braindead refrain of "Critical support!" without a hint of criticism.

I can express support for Iranian nuclear ambitions without trying to paper over that they're an immensely repressive theocratic regime which regularly brutalizes its own citizenry and funds genocide abroad, but tankies like you pretty invariably slobber on the boots of anyone who isn't the dreaded West.

Take your 'Westoid' tankie cringe elsewhere.

They sent literal tens of thousands of paramilitaries to Syria who directly engaged in ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres in support of the Assad regime, supported the Houthis who have engaged in ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres, Iraqi militias which engaged in sectarian massacres and continue terrorist activities against the Iraqi government to this day, and Hezbollah which, surprise surprise, engaged in sectarian massacres.
