cringe, the uruk liberation front: isengard were in the right

imo the only members of Saruman's army were "in the right" are the Dunlandfolk ~~and Woses~~ who have been tricked into thinking that Saruman will kill the Rohirrim who they (rightfully) hate for taking their land. But both live subsistence lifestyles so i don't think it'll go well for either them if Saruman the clearcutting riverpolluting enthusiast won either

The woses didn't fight for Saruman or Sauron. They have a problematic noble savage thing going on, and Tolkien only ever has them waging guerilla war against the orcs and acting as guides for the Rohirrim on their way south to aid Gondor.
