We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin may be providing limited support to Iran, while also dismissed the idea that the U.S. would rely on Ukraine’s experience in countering Iranian Shahed drones. "No, we don’t need their help on drone defense," Trump said. Zelenskyy previously said the U.S. had sought Ukraine’s expertise in responding to Iranian-made drones used by Russia in the war.

So let me get this straight- you are aiding Putin, Putin is aiding Iran, and you are attacking Iran.

That should be a meme.

And the rise in oil prices and removal of sanctions is pulling the russian economy out of the gutter while simultaniously drawing away air defence that would have otherwise been given to Ukraine (either directly or through European purchases)

And snubbing the country whittling away at Russia and whose anti-drone tech was developed around Iranian drones.

That is Don-roe Doctrine, baby.

4D chess or some shit. I wonder if Donald even knows how to play actual chess, come to think of it.

The war is between the ultra rich vs. the not so rich. This conflict extends beyond borders.

War's gotta war.

Russia is helping Iran which means the best course of action is reducing sanctions in Russia.

Seems totally legit

If Trump was there to destroy the US, what would he do differently?

?

I just heard a story yesterday about how Ukrainian drone warfare experts are already in Iran teaching the US how to deal with shaheds. I wonder who's lying, RFU or the guy who lies more often than he blinks?

Plot twist: The orange felon/pedophile switches sides. Oh wait, he is already on Putin's side.
