I thought he was going to sit this one out and let us and Iran beat each other up. I was wrong. Does anyone see Russia getting actively involved or is this just Putin putting a thumb in Trumps eye as payback for Ukraine?

quote:

Russian President Vladimir Putin told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday that the Russian people stand in solidarity with Iran as it fights for its interests, according to Russian state media.

Putin also said Russia and Iran have maintained their economic and trade relationship despite the current military and political environment. The comments came during a meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, as Iran faces renewed U.S. pressure and escalating regional tensions.

He was wise to remain mum before but if he goes full support of Iran, US needs to load up UKR and finish this.

Does that term 'Standing in solidarity' mean they'll put the gloves on and duke it our with the U.S.? I doubt that, they just want to play Iran to get what they can before it all gets shut down.

Are the going to admit defeat in Ukraine to help Iran? Russia does not have the resources or will to help Iran, outside of propaganda.

No the US needs to remove all support of Ukraine, the same way Russia needs to remove all support of Iran. Ukraine is Russia's business and Iran is our business.

There would be a lot more people living today if we did this.

Some BRICS nation members will not openly voice their support for Iran but there's little doubt they're all hoping Iran can slowly bleed the US out and in turn neuter Trump's agenda.

Sounds like a virtue signaling statement, but did anyone think Putin was NOT in solidarity with Iran considering we've been supplying Ukraine for the past 4+ years?

Russia and Iran have supported each other for a very long time. They are on the same team. Anyone who thinks that Russia has changed has been asleep.

That is not happening.

I thought Trump is a "Putin puppet".

What degree of chess is this?

Why is Iran our business? Did Iran move or is it still in the middle of Asia?
