Leaders in Damascus, Caracas and now Tehran have all discovered that Russian support only goes so far.
As Tehran was being pounded by U.S. and Israeli bombs on Saturday morning, its top diplomat dialed Moscow’s number.
On the other end of the line, according to an official Russian statement, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov offered his Iranian counterpart sympathy and promised his — verbal — support.
Iran, thus, became the latest country after Syria and Venezuela to feel firsthand what partnership with Russia does, and doesn’t, mean.
Since launching its full-scale war in Ukraine four years ago, the Kremlin has flexed its rhetorical muscle as the flag bearer of a so-called multipolar world. But, at decisive moments, its response on the ground in allied nations has been conspicuously anemic as their leaders came under attack.
shiuld have been obvious when his new toy git elected twice. Iran fucked up not getting nukes same as Ukraine. Nukes are the only you can insure a place with valuable reasources can protect itself. Expecting some of the most greedy and twofaced global leaders to actually do anything is hilarious.
The American empire and vassals once again act as the enemies of humanity they always have been and the response is “lol the other side won’t help!!!”. Can the victim blaming be any more blatant?
What a childish worldview.
Armenia, too.
Obviously. This is because Russia’s newest partner is the US now.
These guys never learn that they’re all thieves. No honor among thieves.

the limit is near the window or novichik, this helps putin sorta, by distracting us from russia while focusing on iran instead.
I hate it when I find myself agreeing with Medvedev.
"The peacekeeper is at it again. The talks with Iran were just a cover. Everyone knew that.”
Meanwhile Russia has been faking interest in peace tapas with Ukraine just the same tho
Peace tapas… Just a little peace… Unironically funny.
Haha we’ll let it ride
how many nuclear threats were generated by this clown this week?
Oh yes, like how the US is totally showing how far their support goes for their allies?
In times of falling empires, it’s each for themselves. The big ones are each securing critical resources, that’s it.
Yeah! What about the US?
it’s not like one thing excludes the other tho
That’s my point
The US isn’t just leaving its allies behind, it’s actively threatening to attack them (see: Greenland / Denmark) even as it has signed a formal mutual-defense agreement. I’d say in practice the US is worse than Russia.
Kurds joined the chat.
Well US has guy from Moscow leading the country.
I think Bibi (through Mossad kompromat) has way more pull on Trump, right? Regardless, let’s not forget: he was democratically elected, a chunk of Americans support and idolise him and the man, like anyone else, has free will. His moves are not “Russian inspired”, it’s pure selfish amorality, in a very non-chalant Western way. 🤷
At this point i feel like US just has a pedophile and whoever knows his secret gets to play with him. It was Putin’s turn, now it’s the genocidal demon’s turn.
Lol, you get exactly what can be expected when dealing with m*scovites.
Putin’s from St Petersburg.
he can be from Rio de Janeiro, and m*scovites would not change at all.
