Russia backs Shia Iran as a counter to Sunni Saudi Arabia. The Sunnis have been Russia's problem (usually backed by Saudi Arabia) and not the Shia who tend to side with the Russians as in Syria.

After all this time in the middle east I am always surprised at how the Sunni/Shia rift is just not understood by foreign policy watchers.

I’ve asked this “Trumpinator” character over TEN times now to find a single thing negative to say about KGB Putin and/or past Russian activity, and he just can’t seem to do it. He is a lying, phony, cowardly shill for Putin and present Russian expansionism.
