I find this to be a nice corrective for those who weirdly hold up Vladimir Putin as a champion of "traditional values."

With friends like Russia, Iran really does not need enemies. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily a friend, it is possible to have enemies from two different directions. Happens more often than you might expect.

So, we attack Iran and then get bent out of shape when their friends (few as they are) step up to help them? That seems naive.

Certainly these people are just as worked up over our support of Ukraine. Support with lethal weapons and intelligence that allows Ukraine to hit deep into Russian territory.

Will we be shocked when Iran finds a way to strike our homeland? I cannot imagine that isn’t on someone’s “to do” list.

I find it fascinating that the Liberals in this nation have called for US involvement in Ukraine to get the Russians out. Then they turn a blind eye to the nation supporting terrorism and feeding Russia with weapons to fight Ukraine. Then support the Mullahs in Iran over the United States.

The TDS is so severe it’s like a circular stupid series of policies of the Liberals.

The North Korean Army and the Russian Army are fighting together in Europe while Red China is training the Russian troops, and Russia aids Iran and suffers the loss of Iranian assistance in Europe.

While a few people here cheer Putin on and his allied forces, and attack the American side.

cutting off the flow of weapons to the Iranian regime would seem to be a number One strategic necessity

and an obvious one, too

weapons are sneaked into Iran by Caspian sea (easy to monitor from space and the IDF has demonstrated that the receiving ports are quite destructible).....

weapons are sneaked into Iran by truck from the Caucuses -— USAF has already shown it can easily block the main arterials

weapons are sneaked into Iran by train (and truck) from Pakistan ... USAF has already shown it can disrupt this reprovisioning by removing key bridges on the route

weapons are sneaked into Iran by sea (largely from Communist China, North Korea)....USN (with USAF spotting) can stop most of this rearming by controlling the sea lanes from the south (also some control earlier at the Mullacca sea shipping straights now under US military coordination

we’ve shown that it really isn’t very difficult to stop or seriously limit the mass flow of dangerous weapons to the Iranian dictators

it just needs to be applied in a consistent coordinated fashion

We Americans have long memories.

We remember who helped us.

We remember who worked against us.

We pay our debts.

I’m sure Russia remembers who supplied the targeting intel to sink the Moskva.

Remember when all the Russian trolls and tools were deriding Ukraine’s strikes into Russia as insignificant, like gnats biting the immense Russian “bear”?
