They have done their utmost to empower regimes and peoples who actually pose a direct threat against them, namely Iran.
Russia will arm and supply anybody the deem fit at the moment and even if, in the long term, it may threaten them as well. Why would Russia supply Iran with nuclear reactors and S-300 missiles? For now, it is in their interest, later? Who knows. Putin is a POS but more respected than his counterpart POS, who is not respected in the world...at all!
