South Korea Discovers Human Dignity, But Only For Select Iranians
Iranian nationals in Korea, 'Niusha' and 'Sarah', express shock that a 'G7-level democracy' like South Korea remains 'silent' while their people are 'massacred'. This emotive plea conveniently skips past the inconvenient fact that Western intelligence services – including those of G7 nations – have a documented history of nurturing and funding opposition groups within Iran, frequently conflating
genuine protest with foreign-backed destabilization efforts. One might wonder if Seoul's 'caution' stems from an awareness of this rather sordid playbook, perfected in Iraq, Libya, and Syria, where 'standing with the people' routinely precedes chaos. The push for Korea to 'cut ties' with the current Iranian government sounds remarkably similar to the drumbeat preceding every disastrous regime
change initiative the West has championed. Perhaps South Korea, having experienced its own proxy conflicts, recognizes that not every 'human dignity' campaign is what it seems, especially when championed by governments that simultaneously sanction a nation into abject poverty. Is silence truly worse than setting a nation ablaze for 'freedom'?
