CNN offers 24 hours of programming every day, but not a whole lot of uncomfortable truths, so it was noteworthy when CNN host Becky Anderson asked her guest, Iranian-American academic Mohammad Marandi, about increasingly close ties between Russia and Iran despite Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and Marandi gave her a double-barreled blast of honesty in response.

Don’t pull that crap on me. I argued several times on FR for the validity of the Russian annexation of Crimea. I repeatedly called Poroshenko a war criminal who executed the civil war in the Donbass in a manner that demonstrated the Donbass would never be part of Ukraine again. For three months, my tagline was “Russia had a lot of valid complaints... until they started a frickin’ war.”
But Ukraine decided Poroshenko WAS a monster, and defeated him in spectacular fashion. Russia meanwhile decides that because they don’t like the internal struggles of a neighboring country, they get to bomb every city and send 1,000 tanks to obliterate (fortunately they failed) the Capital?
All you Putin lapdogs sound like you’d be cheering Hitler because the Britain was so unfair to post-WWI Germany.

Add Mexico, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and that’s a big chunk of the global economy.
After 20 years in Afghanistan, trillions of dollars, thousands of lives and absolutely zero accomplished aside from losing $85 billion in .mil equipment, add other incusions with zero results and our newfound wokeness, maybe the rest of the world sees the US as unserious and unfit to be the global leader of things.
Correct me if I am wrong, but..
The russians fired upon a warship, which according to the agreement, should not have been there...
Damon Wilson, 20 year advisor to NATO, former VP of the Atlantic Council and now CEO/President of the National Endowment for Democracy has made Eastern Europe his life’s work(closing in on Russia via NATO expantion). In this video, he admits the goal. Democracy in Russia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=424&v=kI4QDm5G-pE&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Oh, excuse me. You're not Xiden or McCain. How about Lindsey Graham or Tony Blinken? There. Fixed that.

Ukraine is a puppet state of the US. The US is using Ukraine up for their proxy war and as a money laundering machine for our political leaders. When they are through, they will walk away just like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. We've replaced their leaders with coups, armed them to the hilt, and trained their Nazi soldiers for eight years. So, pray tell, it's okay to invade another country covertly, but just don't send in a soldier. What the hell is the difference?
What do you think we would do if Russia or China placed missiles on our borders with Canada and Mexico? I know the answer -- think Cuban Missle Crisis.
...(fortunately they failed) the Capital?
That's a joke. Right?? Give the Ruskies a little credit. Why would they send 3000 soldiers to capture a city of 3,000,000? Come on, now. You can do better than that.
The bottom line, Russia is doing what most sane people would do to protect their survival against obvious threats. And, it is working quite well. You can see for yourself (click here). In case you don't understand, the red is what Russia now owns/occupies of a sick and corrupt Ukraine -- and there will be more, much more to come!
great Jimmy Dore show!
The Russians (Lavrov) also said that they’ll be searching every ship in the port for weapons. They said that they can do that, because they’re not a party to the agreement. Lavrov said that the agreement was between Ukraine and Turkey.
We see a pattern with Russian statements between that agreement and other agreements. Incredible, magnificent idolaters...
Ukraine grain ships to be inspected for weapons says Russia
https://youtu.be/_AQOwaag0a8
The communist pagans will probably say that was in the agreement, too.
It IS in the agreement!
Prepare to feel embarrassed.
The claims Lavrov makes in the video you link are completely true.
Every ship that intends to carry grain out of Ukraine must be inspected in port to ensure it does not carry and deliver weapons.
Inspected in which port? A port in Turkey.
It’s clearly defined in the agreement.
I would be careful about such postulations. The Russians are very good at propaganda. They infiltrated our colleges with their BS.
Weapons don’t need to be sent to Ukraine on grain ships, and the grain shipments leaving Ukraine don’t belong to the Russians.
Ukraine just signed an agreement that requires ships taking grain from its ports to be inspected for weapons (in turkey) before entering the black sea.
You say this isn’t true, but you are wrong about that.
Yep! They are really good! They stole our election, colluded with Trump, infiltrated Hillary's email server, killed a Dem staffer in the middle of the night, hacked the dem headquarters server and forced hookers to pee on Trump's bed in Moscow -- to name just a few.
Clearly, they are very good!
