He keeps breathing life into feudalism

How 12th century of him.

12th century, a time when Muslim invaders enslaved Russians turning them into serfs. And Putin still adheres to that system.

'This is an absolutely unprovoked aggression against Iran,' Putin told Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who travelled to Moscow seeking support in mediation.

Not true, and particularly ironic coming from the Ukrainian invader.

Putin is a recognized world authority on unprovoked invasions.

Just words.

Putin has to publicly pretend he’ll back his ally, Iran. If he doesn’t, he looks like a coward.

But look at Syria. He supported Assad too. And where is Assad now? Living in exile in Russia.

What “assistance” do they need related to this attack?

No, actually totally true.

The problem with all this “unprovoked” and “aggressor” language crap is that everyone plays the same game.

They choose some starting point to define when a conflict started and exclude what preceded this, in order to make it appear someone is an “aggressor,” that an invasion or attack is “unprovoked.”

It’s a game where rhetoric, language itself, is used to pretend there is a good and bad side to an argument, and we don’t like it when it’s done to us.

The USA has given about 75,000,000,000 dollars to Ukraine to help them kill Russians (not counting many billions more in non-military support). Regardless of what side you are on no one should be surprised Putin would join with Iran. IMG-1134

Okay Putin! Whatever you give Iran we will give Ukraine 10x the amount. You give Iran a nuke, we give Ukraine 10 nukes. Your call.

The only long-term solution to Iran’s aggression is regime change. However, even if there is a complete overhaul of Iran’s government, it is clear that Russia and China will just try to meddle and undermine the new government.

If the mullahs are allowed to survive, Russia/China will just resupply and rebuild their terror empire, and if the mullahs are replaced by a democratic government, Russia/China will do everything possible to undermine it. So obviously the real problem is Russia and/or China. There will be a day sooner or later when we will have no choice but to confront them directly. Russia’s reckless talk about supplying the mullahs with complete nuclear warheads proves that, and we all know how evil the CCP is.

Nevertheless, trying to remove the mullahs and let the Iranian people replace them with a secular government is the only logical path. We just need to remember that if we think we can just come home and detach from all of this we’re delusional. Nuclear-armed evil, whether from a determined Islamic Iran or from near-peers Russia or China directly, isn’t interested in letting us live quietly and safely. If we try to withdraw from the world, it is obvious that the Islamic crazies will try to hit us, whether with their own home-grown weapons or directly supplied by others, and if we instead try to actively prevent this we run the very real risk of direct nuclear conflict with the two near-peers. Either way, we are going to have to deal with this rather than stick our heads back in the sand.

Russia has more nukes than us. More modern, too. Ours are moldy.

That fool Carter could have prevented this by killing one dirty robed, wild eyed cleric. Now many will have to die to achieve the same result. IMG-1135

“Just words.

Exactly. There is absolutely nothing Putin can do and he knows it. After all, his military has been diminished by the Ukraine conflict, that Israel probably encouraged, preventing Russia from “protecting” Iran initially. Israel has even made sure the current attacks on Iran are destroying the production capability of Iran for any and all weapons, especially drones, that were being sold to Russia.

Russia is frigged but Putin is trying to save face with his remarks.

I disagree. Let's send Ukraine, and Iran paper ballots so the abused people subject to these unelected dictatorships can have an election.

So Putin is a Christ-figure to you? And you support the Mullahs.

Nice

Personally, I believe it is a moral imperative to nuke the mullahs and their facilities.

Why do people take what politicians or dictators say at face value? Of course, Putin will say that. Political statements are political statements.

Watch what people do rather than what they say, especially politicians and dictators. The Iranian rep was in Moscow and Putin told him things to console him.

In the end, Putin will do nothing. He has a war to fight. None of these leaders will help Iran. Why risk devestation to their own countries for a gaggle of mullahs?

Iranian leaders at this time are more interested in retaining power than enriching uranium, you can be sure.
