I saw that earlier but forgot about it. Russia may soon be flying air cover from Damascus to Tehran. Our humiliation will only be exceeded by the danger we are put in.

Over the decades, it has become more and more obvious that Carter actually helped Khomeini and his gang in Iran come to power over 3 decades ago. Whether Carter did it deliberately, or out of stupidity one can never be sure. Over the years, some have even suggested that Carter was “a Soviet stooge”. But reality is that even Reagan didn’t make a direct move to remove the mullahs’ regime in Iran in the 1980s.
The current situation in the M.E. and N. Africa is complex and has a long history going all the way back to the end of 1970s. But, my main point here is that neither USSR, nor today’s Russia would ever tolerate a pack of mullahs, their minions and rent-a-crowd chanting “Death to Russia”. The U.S. has (for whatever reasons). The mullahs regime knows EXACTLY where it stands with Russia should they put a toe wrong; they know they won’t exist, islam or no islam. That’s a main difference.
