intertwined with the war in Iran due to the cooperation between Russia and Iran.
A U.K. official told CBS News that Russian-Iranian defense cooperation has ballooned in recent years, and Iranian technological advancement is now visible in the attacks in the Middle East. The United Kingdom assesses that Iran had not only transferred Shahed drones to Moscow for use on the battlefield in Ukraine but also production know-how to Russia, which has helped Iran refine its drone warfare. The U.K. official could not confirm a recent transfer of hardware to Iran by Russia.
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot publicly described the relationship between Russia and Iran as “two-way cooperation.”
“There are reasons to believe that Russia is now supporting Iran’s military efforts, which appear to be directed in particular at American targets,” Barrot said Thursday.
Multiple sources, including a senior U.S. official with direct knowledge, told CBS News earlier in March that Russia is providing intelligence to Iran regarding U.S. positions in the Middle East. The European Union’s top diplomat said Thursday that Russia is providing intelligence support to Iran to “kill Americans.”
“We see that Russia is helping Iran with intelligence to target Americans, to kill Americans, and Russia is also supporting Iran now with the drones so that they can attack neighboring countries and also U.S. military bases,” Kaja Kallas told G7 leaders.

So Trump eased sanctions on Russian oil and in turn Russian is assisting a country attacking our military.
Please tell me that Trump isn’t a Russian asset.

Silly Russia isn’t helping Iran we got it directly from the president himself his best friend in the world Vladamir Putin told him so.

It sounds like you made the mistake of thinking Trump cares about members of the military. The only thing he cares about is his personal bottom line. He’s an unhinged con man, and America voted for him. Square that…

Russia and China have had an informal alliance with Iran for years. They’re helping a country they’re allies with that’s being attacked illegally and offensively by the US
They weren’t really allies with the US. Choosing to be diplomatic with a country doesn’t necessarily equal alliance in the “I would side with you in a war” sense

Trump doesn’t care about American soldiers; he’s desperate to do business with Putin, which is why he ignores how Putin is helping Iran. That’s also why Witkoff and Kushner were in Moscow, and not American diplomats or Marco Rubio. They were told that American companies could do business in Russia worth 12 trillion dollars over the next few years if Trump persuades Ukraine to accept Russia’s terms.

The people who were mad that Obama gave the Iranian state access to frozen bank accounts as directed by international courts and said he was aiding and abetting the enemy are sure going to be making excuses when we find out that the intelligence apparatus knew that Russian was aiding Iran in targeting US military installations and Trump knowing that still reduced sanctions against them.
During trumps first term they offered 200k for dead Americans. Are we surprised they are helping Iran attack and kill Americans?

Destroying the US has been the goal of Russia for quite a long time. Once the US is out of play, they’ll have a much easier time steamrolling smaller European nations.
Trump was a very easy rube to enable them to bring about the US’s downfall. They barely even had to pretend to be friendly with him.

The US has been putting weapons and intel in the hands of Ukraine for two years to bleed Russia. When the US puts itself into a precarious position where Russia can hand an ally weapons and intel to bleed the Americans, what do you expect to happen?

They probably want the US to react and invade.
