Meanwhile, Russia supplies targeting information to Iran to help them kill Americans.

Hard to see what Trump would be doing differently if he was a Russian asset.

    Ill bet kamala would have (checks notes) started a literal war with iran, and threw a lifeline to the russians while still continuing to glass gaza, deporting people and robbing americans of their rights.

    We did it guys!

    Fuck all you sitouts. Hows the oil price where you are?

        If Europe would properly equip them they could be independent of the US.

          That’s been in the works in Ukraine and the EU, but that kind of production capacity takes years to build. Hopefully soonish the war profiteers can be traded for, at least, slightly fresher ones.

      To be fair Iran has been supplying Russia with drones that have been killing Ukrainians. Ukrainians honestly have more of a credible reason for hating Iran than the US.

      Still probably not in their best interest to be justifying wars of aggression…

    Trump helps Russia. That’s probably his chief motivation in starting this war.

    Poor Ukraine
