Russia wants to see Iran sink a carrier. So does the American Democrat Party.

Exactly, this is not a secret. China and Russia are behind Iran. In fact we have only on war. And thats with China and Iran. Ukraine and Iran are just the theater we see the missiles land or take off. Russia has a front from the Baltics to the Indian Ocean. They want all of the black and Caspian seas. And China want Everything from Mongolia to the bottom of the South China Sea. Both countries will keep pushing until they achieve an unbroken front from north to south.

Isolationists are happy to see our global footprint shrink. China and Russia are eager to fill the vacuum.

Did you forget the coup and subsequent NATO proxy war in Ukraine?

The UK just promised to aid Ukraine in production of storm-shadow missiles, after the US promised to aid Ukraine in the production of Patriot missiles.

Regardless of what you may think of Putin, Russia, or the war in Ukraine, it is very obviously a decades-long story of action-reaction-escalation.

China and Russia will sell Iran all the munitions and technology they want to purchase. Even though they have no funds and it is difficult to deliver, the Iranians have excellent credit. They have huge oil reserves. When the war is over, whether it be the mullah regime or others, the Chinese and the Russians will collect what is owed them plus the huge, userous compound interest that is accumulating.

It is simply what Russia does and has always done, they are a force of evil in the world, which is why their friends are always North Korea whose Army is fighting for them in Europe, Red China which is training Russian troops for that European front, Iran which was sending arms for that European front, Russia never changes.

There is a big difference.
Russia launched the biggest European war since WWII invading a European nation, and has called in the North Korean Army as part of that land invasion.

Trump and the UK are sending aid to the victim nation fighting for its survival from the Russian and North Korean armies, and the Red Chinese trained and aided Russian troops.

If anything this looks just like the Korean war, or the Vietnam war, except that this time the permanent evil team is doing it in Europe, and America and the British Commonwealth aren’t involved except as material aid to the victims.

Are they giving Iran targeting data for the ballistic missiles that they sold to Iran and advised the construction of others?

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022

By 2023 it was obvious that that was a mistake and Russia needed funding , development partnerships for weapons systems and production capacity for its war efforts in Ukraine

Plus Russia needed Iran to open a second front to pin the US down in the Middle East to divert assets from the Ukraine theater which was also in the interest of China who was also looking to pin the US down in multiple locations in Europe, South and Central America ( in collaboration with Venezuela, Brazil, Columbia, Nicaragua and other Leftist regimes) and , of course, the Middle East to pave the way for China’s publicly announced invasion of Taiwan which they openly telegraphed to the world was scheduled for 2027

No doubt, Hamas October 7 attack on Israel was motivated, at least in part, to ignite a general war in the Middle East that would divert American military assets to the region and tie our forces down and away from the Ukraine ( which it has in a very effective way) as well as from the defense of Taiwan from Chinese aggression

This strategy to pin down the US has largely backfired on both Russia and China and it has been a catastrophe for the Islamic State in Iran.

Russia has lost Syria and has been expelled from its bases in the Middle East

Russia has been highly dependent upon Iran for arms production, especially for critical drones and missiles production and its loss of Iranian missile and drone production supply has changed the balance of power in the Ukraine war in a way that is highly favorable to the Ukrainian military

The loss of Iran has been a disaster for Chinese ambitions in Taiwan as well. The Trump team has cut off critical oil supplies to China and our success in defeating Chinese air defense and other weapons systems has taken Chinese hubris about its military superiority down a few notches
