“Putin could organize forces to push the Taliban back out of Iraq.”
Yeh if he had the money. Right now Putey is breaking into the egg money just to intimidate the Ukraine.
Putin isn’t that dumb—why step into a mess like that. What would he gain? Watch as Iran steps in and takes the whole pile—and beats back the terrorists (it hires) before it marches on Saudi Arabia. A New Persian Empire is in the making. Let em fight—we were fools to stay so long? We do not need the oil now—let the Mullahs have the whole thing and cut off as many heads as they like.
