    This really makes me laugh at how much of a chump Trump is. All daddy Putin has to do is say, “Malyshka, it’s not like I’m in bed with Iran! That’s just for you!” and he’ll roll over and pretend Russia is listening to him and totally not helping the other side.

    Imagine being in the global political cuck chair and thinking it’s great so long as it has gaudy gold leaf on it.

    P.s. hey mods, if I’m going against the rules for the community, I apologize, just let me know and I’ll edit my comment.

      He really is the dumbest and weakest president in the history of the United States of America.

      Has so weak that he surrounds himself with sycophants who tell him he’s the best one ever. It’s so fucking sad.

        Possibly most damning of the sycophants is how they don’t even try to help him look better. When Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer’s and not really able to be in public without looking the fool, his cronies tried to keep him out of the limelight and away from my public eye. With Trump we get to watch the senility drive. I want to no longer be embarrassed by my country…

      Did I miss something? At what point did Russia say they would not trade with or provide aid to Iran?

        Trump has been warned multiple times that Iran is using Russian weapons to kill Americans.
        Yet he continues to help Russia despite it’s against American interests. That’s what makes him a chump.

          I think Iran probably has a right to defend itself when you start bombing the shit out of them. Where that intelligence and weapons come from is mostly irrelevant.

          The US has profited from arming and supplying both sides of wars deliberately before, remember the Iran-Iraq war, or the Peru-Equador war?

          International politics is a little bit more complicated than just not talking to or working with other countries because of a bit of a squabble. The US doesn’t even want to be in Iran, they’re only there because Israel has them by the balls Epstein files

            I think Iran probably has a right to defend itself when you start bombing the shit out of them.

            I agree Iran has a right to defend themselves, the war against them is clearly illegal, just as illegal as the war Russia has stated against Ukraine.

            Where that intelligence and weapons come from is mostly irrelevant.

            Sort of, the difference is that if they came from China Trump isn’t supporting China, and there would be no “conflict” of interest for Trump. But coming from Russia, and Trump continuing to support Russia, means that Trump is supporting a country that help kill Americans. Which makes it nonsensical for Trump to support Russia.

        They didn’t that I know of. Which just makes it funnier to me. Russia is backing the people that trump is attacking but still talking with trump like he’s not going to fuck him over at every turn

      No they can’t Russia is sanctioned, and can actually only sell to about a handful of countries that do not respect the sanctions.

        “handful of countries” = 25% of all countries and increasing literally semi-yearly at this rate. BRICS is growing while the western block and it’s economic warfare system is shrinking. The west doesn’t produce anything, it is a resource sink for money, they no longer have an ability to sanction anything.

        Which is why the global south is moving in another direction away from a white western dominated system where sanctions can be applied at the whims of people representing less than 20% of the world’s population.
