Russia has to be looking at the oil situation and thinking...anything that makes Iran-oil look like a problem....makes Russia-oil look ‘swell’. I’d let the Iranians dig deeper into the pit.
BTTT
Iran had a choice in 1979, they choose poorly.
I don’t think the Russians will do anything beyond threats. Their hands are full in Ukraine. Their military is weak. The only thing they have to offer is nuclear war and they are not stupid enough to do that over Iran.
Iran is on its own. The days of US appeasement giving them pallets of cash are over. The days of massive air strikes are here. There’s not a damn thing they can do about it.
B2 Bombers, we hardly knew ye.
Say Ukraine.
Heh heh - I’d wager that what Russia does is amp up it’s oil production to make up for Iran’s decline - a Paper Bear does not dare attack a Screaming Eagle with the heart of an Alpha Lion...
Israel is making a huge mistake not targeting airports that can take heavy aircraft like the 747. Allowing China to land their 747s is going to tire them in the azz.
Trump needs to head this off. The best approach by far is the carrot — ending the sanctions. But if that doesn’t
work, he has a stick — going all in on helping Ukraine.
