Crippling sanctions, Russia will no longer export crutches to Iran. Military equipment, energy, that's OK.

If we had a real President we could tell the Russians...

“look, you will support sanctions, every single one we tell you to....if you don’t we give Israel the capability to kill your SAMs and you lose billions in defense exports.”

Yes, I post their stuff on occasion. I suspect they’re “right” here, but I’m suprised how frequently they come up on google news searches. They’re a state organ, not a news source.
