2/ The battlefield in Ukraine has become a testing ground for Russia’s partners—Iran and North Korea—to test their weapons systems against a Western-supported adversary.

3/ Russia uses Iranian-provided drones against Ukraine on a nearly daily basis, allowing Iran the opportunity to observe how its weapons fare against Western-provided air defense systems and Ukraine’s innovative electronic warfare jamming techniques.

4/ Russia has provided diplomatic cover for Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, frequently condemning Israel and the West for taking actions against elements of Iran’s Axis of Resistance.

5/ Following the failed April 13, 2024 strike on Israel, Russia used its UNSC position to amplify Iran’s justification for the strike and condemn Israel and the United States for their military actions in the Middle East.

6/ Russia has even reportedly considered transferring weapons and other military equipment to Yemen’s Houthis, which strongly underlines the deepening and expansion of the Russo-Iranian relationship.

From a deliberately dispassionate perspective:

How will T respond to this alignment if and when he gets total control over the US. He was content to be Putin’s cock-holster before but will he then confront them, challenge their reach, or is America by itself enough for him…

There was a press story a month or so ago that some part of the IRG freebooter/thug complex had hired people to whack Mr. T.
I don't think that will be seen as a friendly act. Or forgivable.
