Either that or Russia has written off using the Iranians as their pitchfork. Apparently Iran was about to be taken out of the picture by the Israelis. So Russia is now at least upping the ante and may trying to drive some armor columns into Tehran.
Internal Russian power struggle is also very possible.
What part will all the russian mafia immigrants into America play? They, too, are well off. Since Russia doesn’t have factories, whose weapons will they buy?

Yeah, I think that’s where they are headed. They are already allied with Iran and control of the Straits of Hormuz would give them control over much of the world’s energy supply. Makes it easier to blackmail the world into submission (similar to when they cut off the natural gas/heating fuel to a couple of countries last year)
