Yes, Russia helps Iran target our troops and (likely) sailors. But don't you dare suggest that hanging a portrait of Putin in the White House is inappropriate, or a Republican might get mad.

  I certainly hope so, but we've pretty much hung Ukraine out to dry under Trump [1], just like we did the Iranian protesters. Unlike Russia, Ukraine evidently doesn't have any kompromat on Trump or the Republican Party in general. 1: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-military-aid-ukraine-dropped-195934821.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-military-aid-ukraine-...

    > I certainly hope so Then you probably should accept that proxy wars work both ways. And well, it's not really Iran's fault that its borders has crept so close to the US military bases.

      Who is Iran a proxy for? Russia, as usual, has only benefited from Trump's actions. The one thing you can say about Iran is that they were absolute morons not to actually build or otherwise acquire a nuclear arsenal. They had decades. If Pakistan could do it...

        It's such a retarded take that hitting Russia's main ally (iran) is somehow pro-russia. Does taking out their number two ally (Venezuela) also help them?

        Russia cares about Iran mainly to the extent it's a thorn in the West's side. They don't care much about Trump's self-inflicted footgunnery, especially because the arms and dollars that we dissipate in Iran won't be available to Kyiv. If Russia cared that much about Iran, they'd have armed them, and they would making much more noise now. (Somewhat to your point, though, it was Iran who was selling arms and expertise to Russia.) Describing Venezuela as Russia's #2 ally ahead of countries like China and Belarus is certainly a take. Out of respect for the house rules, though, I won't use the R-word to describe it, however applicable it may be.
