I know it's just one guy but it kind of encapsulates the mindset of the Russian troops that they did this:
Russian troops kill Ukrainian musician for refusing role in Kherson concert

No, not after leading them a merry dance on various nuclear arrangements, withholding billions of their own money for years on end, cheating them out of basic goods and services, and creating/profiting a situation with the Pahlavis that led to the Iranian Revolution in the first place.
It would've been really wise to have brought Iran (and its people) in from the cold, but it's probably about a decade too late for that, or for any favours to be done by Tehran on behalf of the west, for many more years. I first went there at the turn of the millennium, and it seemed to me to be an ideal time for a productive reset, and the population largely receptive. Not any more.
Their growing closeness with Russia was avoidable. It's entirely situational. The two have nothing in common, and some interests and objectives that seriously clash, but Iran hasn't been given any other option over the last couple of decades - it has taken friendship where it can. Unlike Russia, Iran has often been directly threatened and compromised by western countries, its population misunderstood and monstered while being oppressed by a government that can always itself claim to enough of its people (with some justification) that they had no other choices but those they've made. Who knows where we'd all be now with a different approach.
Iran, and Iranians (and one or two other countries in the wider region) have always given me the very strong sense that they could liberalize unbelievably quickly if given the space to, and probably in some very exciting ways not yet guessed at. The comparison I always make is with Spain and Portugal, that both went from ultra Catholic dictatorships to two of the most progressive countries, and almost nobody would've believed that likely before it happened.

I see the founder mentioned in the article @karma_kamilia has issued a statement and made a donation to a Holocaust museum , due to (in his own words) ‘edgy’ tweets he made in 2020.

Yeah I saw that as well. “Edgy” not how I’d describe them either. Downright anti semitic.

Gross. And of course the Ukrainophobic hammer and sickle twats are loving it.
Just read he was only 16 at the time but have no idea if it's true. (Red-browns are saying he was 24.)

Anti Semitism is a global phenomenon, not a specifically Ukrainian one. Coincidentally, The Guardian has an article today on aliyah since February. Over 13,000 Ukrainian Jews have fled Ukraine. The unexpected part from the perspective of immigration/assimilation agencies was that during the same period, 26,000 Russian Jews have fled Russia - estimated to be 1 in every 8 Jews that were Russian residents at the beginning of this year.
People are complicated. Better that those who are/were raised to be racist or sectarian change their views as they age, and are allowed the space to move on from their earlier mistakes, than have everything dredged up, picked over, and always be pulled back into the orbit of their previous foolishness - not least if they were basically just a kid at the time of the offence.

Think he is 24 yrs old now and the tweets were 2020 so 22 yrs at the time and allegedly living in the U.K. The most disappointing aspect for me is the number of NAFO supporters saying ‘we all make mistakes let’s move on ‘ .

I'm finding the tankies massively enjoying the whole thing thoroughly disgusting.
I don't even know what NAFO is, so I can't be a supporter of it.
A 'tankie'? Is that an acronym for something?
As a person with Jewish heritage, I've never 'massively enjoyed' anti Semitism.
A link might've been helpful. Seems quite niche, like some kind of geek project.

Never come across it before. No interest in it. No opinion on it.
Don't insinuate that I support anti Semitism again.
