Putin hardliners call for Russia to 'take up arms' for Iran after US strikes

Hardliners close to Vladimir Putin have demanded Russians "take up arms" in a furious response to the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. US President Donald Trump sanctioned the bombings of three nuclear sites in Iran overnight, escalating the Middle East crisis further. Missiles were dropped from American B-2 stealth bombers, including on Iran's Fordow nuclear site, which has caused some Russian oligarchs to demand military support for Tehran.

Oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, who runs propaganda empire Tsargrad, demanded: “It's high time we helped Tehran with satellite intelligence, air defence, and missiles.” He accused Trump of mocking Putin by “pretending to be peacekeepers” in the Ukraine conflict. Demanding military support for Iran, he declared: “Two can play this game. Fate is giving us a historic chance.

We don’t know that yet. Maybe, maybe not.

[OttawaFreeper]

Yes, after all of the epic successes in the Ukraine.

[RoosterRedux]

Nothing but bluster.

Russia can’t even handle Ukraine

[AndyJackson]

Spouting MI-6 seeded garbage again supporting the same axis that has been thwarting to pivot to China strategy because the entire complex of hate-Russia mongering will be out of a job.

Help Iran with Russian air defense? LOL

Just how long would Russia's army in Ukraine last against a sustained air campaign?

To quote Winston Churchill:

I've heard of rats abandoning a sinking ship - but this is the first case I've heard of rats swimming towards a sinking ship!"

Sure… Putin is no fool, I’m sure he knew before the strike.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Because Russia doesn’t have anything else on its plate and lots of spare bandwidth.

[Mouton]

I guess one believes Russia was not aiding them before. Ever hear of the BRICS or S 3 air defense and probably info on evading ballistic missile technology? I’m sure Putin wants a nuke tipped radical mussie empire nearby also. No. He will help as will China with being helpers in a proxy was but not much else.

[Justa]

Uhhh, aren’t they already helping Iran via transferring nuclear technology, building and staffing their nuclear reactors, GLONASS GPS, and KGB leadership and advisors?

[Fraxinus]

Wow, someone sounds like the Neocons after the invasion of Iraq asking “Who’s next?” This while the resources to do anything beyond posturing are limited to non-existent. The US had the advantage at the time of actually having some limited reserves available, and the Iraq invasion at that point was looking successful.

I purchased one for your Momz. I didn’t fit ;) Nudge, Nudge, Know what I mean. Know what I mean. LOL!

You forgot Vietnam. So glorious for the war mongers. Not for the rest of us.

[Salman]

If the Islamic Republic regime is out, I suppose that means no more drones for Russia on the Ukrainian front?
