Russia Is Arming Iran Through 2027 With Missiles That Could Target US and Israeli Jets

He's being reactionary to surging oil prices, hopefully though, Russia's aide hurts his ego enough to where he proxies against them via Ukraine.

As a net exporter, Russia actively wants oil to be expensive, and thus for the Gulf situation to degrade further.

I‘m not so sure about China actually. An open and free Iran that is not aching under a sanction economy and a massively corrupt regime would be trading like crazy with China. Like, half the country would be driving Chinese EVs, they‘d build giant solar farms with Chinese panels and tech etc. China is somclose to the country, they could easily project some serious soft power through trade in a free Iran imo.

Russia needs those missiles though

Chinese and Russian interests diverge ... China profits from global stability, while Russia profits from chaos. This is one of the fundamental reasons for the rift between Xi Jinping and purged top general Zhang Youxia. Zhang was arguing that strong alliance with Russia and global destabilisation hurts China while Xi wants to use it to cement his own power.

China will not give missiles to Iran, no idea what kind of geopolitical bong you smoking. They don't even help Russia with military supplies, and that would be much easer to hide and deny. Delivering shit explictly to shoot down US planes would be incredibly stupid. The only thing worse would be delivering anti-ship missiles. US proved several times than they can violate Iranian airspace with impunity, and Israel have agents in every structure. If any kind of modern gear will get into Iran, it would be identified and stolen for research immedeatly. Trump may like Putin, but he have no good feelings for Xi.

China probably wants to see what their weapons do in real war scenarios. Unfortunately if the USA takes hits from them and has evidence, it would be politically unsavory. Most likely China just stays away from this entirely, they benefit no matter the outcome.

I mean this is the perfect opening for them after all the backing that the US/EU has given to Ukraine. I’m hoping Ukraine is able to continue hitting Russian fuel infrastructure so they can’t profit off this chaos

> It would be crazy for Russia and China not to arm Iran. What does China have to do with it? They have the same relationship with Iran as they have with the US. Both Iran and the US are just countries China sells stuff to.

The real humiliation of it all is that Trump rolled out the red carpet for Russia and now they're making his life hell over Iran. Meanwhile actual US allies have been scorned enough to stay out of it. He has no friends anymore.

Yeah but have you seen how low egg prices are now? Thank GOD! 🙄

If the US actually stepped up, Ukraine could have done a lot more damage to Russia for pennies on the dollar, not a single American soldier being involved. Instead they stopped supporting Ukraine and are helping Russia.

When you consider the current cyber landscape, nation state actors trying to shut down critical national infrastructure, as well as clear acts of planning for escalating conflict and reinforcing allied countries, we really do need to ask if this is the start of WW3 and we're all casually watching it unfold in the background

I honestly don't know what's worse, a world where the US bullies the rest of the world to take sanctions off Russia while wasting billions on another forever war, or one where the neocons succeed and actually bring Iran into the western sphere.

If you had a President smart enough, Ukraine could win before Trump was even elected.

Must feel amazing for Russia. With only 1.3M casualties after 4 years they control less ground than after the first month. Their navy also was able to defend itself for quite some time against a country without a navy. Also losing only half of your refineries is amazing. They even lost more jets than the US did in the last few days. Even a transport aircraft with 29 special forces on board. The only difference to the US is that the US is flying 1000s of missions nonstop deep inside Iran and Russia is doing f*** all and still losing aircraft. Russia is outplaying everyone. Playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

Alternate headline; US is arming Ukraine with missiles capable of hitting Russia.

A person would almost believe that Putin has Epstein videos starring Trump.

LLMs can be adjusted, humans have this thing where they refuse to change their mind once made up, even if you put irrefutable proof in front of them

I welcome our new LLM overlords. I’ll vote for Claude over this bunch. 

Most humans are actually much worse than LLMs, because they're incapable of the simple "you're right - I made a mistake [...]"

I actually believe the Republicans are incredibly smart and intelligent. The reason is because in almost every major decision they’ve made, they knew PERFECTLY how to choose the wrong path, every single time. They know how to play the forest fire side of the story while Democrats know how to choose the right path to grow the forest back before the next forest fire comes back around. They are indeed so f****** stupid. But it’s also like they are intelligently acting stupid (which allows them to get this far in holding power in America). It’s to the point now where when someone finally gets the power they want, they can finally start to act f****** stupid without the intelligence and effort they used to have growing up. So now you have people in power like JD Vance, Elon, etc. So once a person acts in a bad way or acts stupid, but is somehow rewarded for their actions/behavior or even given more power, they will never see the other side of the story ever again. They’ll either see the forest as a way to start fires or plant more trees and grow it back. Now we have billions of people on each side of the story that can only see the world as a place to start forest fires wherever there is growth and people that see the world as a place to start new growth wherever there are fires. Even if we could somehow magically put all the republicans perfectly on their own Earth, and then put the Democrats on their own Earth with a few million miles between them, I feel that Republicans would STILL be tempted to start a forest fire on the democratic planet and then the other side would try to fix something on the republican planet, thus perpetuating this never ending conflict between humans working together in a single or multi planetary system.

Being intellectually mature is a lot of work my internet friend. It’s much easier being in that bubble of misery and hate.

At least LLMs use logic in their reasoning

As long as they're making $$$ they don't care.

If magats were just stupid, they would sometimes do the right thing, on accident. They always pick the evil option. They hate americans, and americans need to realize they are actively in a kinetic war with enemies. This is not an accident.

Bingo!

Ukraine doesn’t have a functional Air Force.

I think it’s all bolstering bs

You mean the country that Iran was helping by providing them drones is now helping them!!?

FrankenSAM.

Pretty sure that is the point. Which is not surprising when you think about who owns united24media

A lot of Russian missiles can be reconfigured, for example early in their war with Ukraine they used their anti-aircraft S-300 missiles as ground-to-ground to attack Ukraine.

THE DOW IS OVER 50000 DOLLARS!

No, but it's not terribly relevant to the current situation so it hasn't been discussed much.
