Russia is helping Iran. Trump is waging an unnecessary war against Iran. Trump is easing sanctions on Russia. Trump is telling Ukraine to give up land and resources to Russia. Trump is a f****** idiot.

It's a f****** circle jerk of assets. Which is also not a bad name for a punk rock band.

Russia is a long time ally of Iran. If attacking Iran is such a huge disaster that it destroys Trump, the GOP, America, the US' standing with NATO and its allies, public and political support for Israel in the US, the enemies of Iran in the middle east, the ability of the US to arm or care about Ukraine, and most of the oil infrastructure the world counts on, Russia benefits from all of this. I think if there is one entity that CAN get Iran to stop, it's Russia. And I think they are going to once they've fired a couple of people over here in the US, and promoted a couple of other ones.

He also directly pushed to ease sanctions on Iran to lower oil prices. Iran. The country he's warring against. f****** clownshoes warmonger. Shocked he hasn't personally tried to hit Iran with a f****** pie only to have it land in his face somehow.

Someone should do something about that orange pedophile. Why is he still not impeached?

Because a majority of both Congress and the Senate just do whatever he says..

Because he embodies the ideal standard of republican politics in everything he does. He's everything that they want him to be, and everything that they aspire to be themselves.

Says guy who hides his post history. I swear its wild the people who hide behind anonymity are so quick to provide solutions to the worlds problems. Yes Trump is a willing idiot but until you can provide me proof beyond what you say is a fact, yet are too scared to allow the world to see your post history, I can just as easily say you are a paid propagandist. Putin and Russia didn't drag Trump into this war Israel did and theres plenty of proof of this. So please uncover your post history you coward.

Every time they launch “the largest attack ever” it’s always because they are trying to take attention away from action elsewhere. I swear Ukrainians just mark their calendar over this shit

This clearly shows one thing: These drones are extremely c**** if a bankrupt place like Russia can afford to mass-produce them in these numbers (as Iran probably will need all they can build themselves). At the same time it's bloody expensive to get all of them destroyed if the opponent is sending sufficient numbers of them even if you don't mind using up heaps of expensive missiles (which the Ukraine doesn't have). But war is about making the opponent go broke before you do so yourself (and yes, in this calculation human life is just another abstract currency for the leaders) and forcing someone to throw $2M of defensive munitions after a $20k drone is quite efficient even if none of the drones is hitting anything. Thanks to Trump's ingenious war on Iran Russia will earn heaps of money on oil again besides getting less support by the USA. I bet this can be expressed in the number of daily drones.

i think you overestimate the cost of an AA Missile or simple Munitions and underestimate the cost of long range drones. missiles like the Iris t and other interceptors are up to 400k. Most drones get shot down by bullets, from mobile trucks with IR optics, stingers, from helicopters and their mashine gunners, from jet autocannons and sometimes r73 or sidewinders, from gepards and from recently introduced anti drone drones. also EW is very effective against drones. Missile are a last defense and against other fast missiles. 400k is often times way cheaper then a destroyed building and the loss of life. its not about munition cost, its about what it protects. most get shot down by simple 50cal, 2-5 35mm shells or EW. If you avarage it out it becomes extremly efficient.

You are new to that business. It is called the Ukraine war, just for your understanding.

"Bankrupt". Bro they're the richest resource nation on Earth. NATO can print as much money as they want and call themselves rich but real wealth comes from countries like Russia.

Russia is the #1 exporter of fertilizer.... As long as they have what other countries need, they can trade. There's a reason why gas to Western Europe became so c**** after the fall of the USSR and now suddenly, after the Ukraine war, many of oil conglomerates decide to kill themselves lol. NATO is desperate for resources.

> There's a reason why gas to Western Europe became so c**** after the fall of the USSR and now suddenly, after the Ukraine war, many of oil conglomerates decide to kill themselves lol. Certainly not Europe's fault (mostly -- the Ukraine as as the USA's accomplice in bombing away competitors' infrastructure certainly has added to it). It was clear for years that the USA tried to get rid of the Russians to be able to sell their expensive fracking products in Europe. (And I don't really wonder what this https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/24/why-has-india-arrested-us-ukrainian-nationals-under-anti-terror-laws was about...)

Guarantee that if Donny Tangerine says anything about it, he'll find a way to blame Zelensky, and then make it about himself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if China is also mass building them and shipping to Russia. They absolutely have the workforce for it and could do it without drawing much attention to themselves.

Ukraine just hit Russia’s oil ports and refinery yesterday. What do you expect. Russia just pat them on the shoulder: nice move

NecessarySudden Mar 25, 2026 +9
I expect more refineries and ports on fire in Russia. Because what do you expect after invading and attacking neighboring countries?

chippymonk793 Mar 25, 2026 -10
Well of course. It’s war. Iran is also hitting oil ports and refineries all over the Gulf region. I’m just saying it’s very common, hit and retaliation, from both sides. Nothing to be dramatic about

felisnebulosa Mar 25, 2026 +5
Ukraine but refineries, ports. Russia targeted residential neighbourhoods, hospitals...

NecessarySudden Mar 25, 2026 -3
Nothing to be dramatic about it's just a thousand drones hitting cities in European country in one day. It's not gas prices went up few cents then it would be catastrophic.

This is why removal of the Iranian regime and economic isolation of China would be a blessing for humanity, but we don’t live in that timeline

The USA must be isolated first. Always been a curse on humanity

Lmfao. I can't believe you typed that with a straight face. Russia I get it, Iran too. But if you think you can isolate China then you need to come out of your lala land and forget about defending the flag you have in your dp. Most of your drones would be DOA if it where not for Chinese parts. The amount of absurdity this comments reeks is insane.

Iran was one of greasy Poutines largest drone suppliers was it not? The U.S. and their all knowing watchful eyes should have cleaned out those manufacturing facilities while they were at it. :) Edit: Ahh, I see there are some here in favour of Russian taking Ukraine.

Russia produces own drones under iranian "license" for years already. They don't need Irans help in this

>[Russia originally obtained its primary attack drones, specifically the Shahed-136 (rebranded as Geran-2), from Iran starting in the fall of 2022.](https://www.google.com/search?q=Where+wass+russia+getting+its+drones+from+originally+for+the+Ukraine+war%3F&rlz=1C1GCEA_enRO1052CA1062&oq=Where+wass+russia+getting+its+drones+from+originally+for+the+Ukraine+war%3F&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCjIyMzMwajBqMTWoAgiwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) These, along with other Iranian models like the Shahed-131, were imported to boost Russia’s long-range strike capabilities, with hundreds being shipped before Russia set up its own domestic production plants. I thought I had heard or read this.

This is what I meant Ukraine should focus on their own war instead of dipping into Iran war. EU too and should focus on helping Ukraine against Russia cause the Yanks are not coming (for sure in the next 2 years) and now in war with someone else.
