Your ayatollah is already claiming your protests are fomented by western agents. How would western countries support your cause, without getting all protesters labeled western agents and spies? Your government has just executed numerous members of the Baha'i religion, because they had travelled to the world's largest Baha'i center, in Haifa, Israel. If people are tortured and killed, as spies, merely for making a pilgrimage, how much worse would it be for you, if the west "stood with you"? How can the west help you, without condemning you all, to certain arrest, torture and death?

I want us to really help Ukraine, not in the limited fashion we have, but with sufficient force to really drive the Russians out. But, I can't get rid of the nagging echo, of how we got involved in Vietnam. For those who've forgotten, the US wanted to help the Vietnamese drive back the Viet Kong invasion, of south Vietnam. We sent weapons, and unarmed advisors. Some of those advisors were shot and killed, so we armed them. From that point, it just kept escalating. But then, we've never won, or helped our allies win, a limited war. It's either all or nothing.
