Iran won't be bleeding Trump dry, they'll be bleeding the American tax payer dry while the military industrial complex lines their pockets at the expense of dead American soldiers.

Same thing Russia has done since the start of the cold war in 45/46... Korea, Vietnam, Central America, Middle east.... We send in troops, Russia just sends in weapons... 81 years of being lured into these unwinnable conflicts.

This time the Russians are having American do it themselves. It must make Putin so happy.

Just imagine, everything he’s throwing at Iran could have gone to Ukraine two years ago and all this would be over before it ever started.

This is so numb and obvious but Trump is doing exactly what Russia wants. Spending tens of billions on Iran and depleting stocks of ammunition and ordinance, all while simultaneously allowing Russia to make tens of billions on oil sales. I’m not sure if the United States could do anything kore to help Russia against Ukraine except maybe literally give Russia weapons and ordinance.

Putin has first-hand experience being bled dry by inept military spending. TBH, I don't think Putin can play a role here. Iran is in its own war now and can't support Putin in Ukraine. That seems to me to be the bigger consequence. Russia supporting Iran just accelerates overspending.
