Russia is not your Grandfather's Russia, they would be a 3rd world power if not for their leftover nuclear weapons. www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-...
Yes! Trump's own 'sanctions on Russia' have been meaningless. If he can now convince the rest of the world to ease sanctions on Russian oil, Putin is back in the business of keeping the RF alive. bsky.app/profile/hair...
The point to watch is if Trump can turn this around for Putin's oil sales and get sanctions lifted on Russian oil because of a "world shortage." Putin needs the income to keep his own arms industry going and that is far more important to him than Shahed imports. Putin is much smarter than Trump.
I think he’s implying that Russia is an ally of Iran and therefore striking at Iran is ostensibly striking at Russia. It is also an ally of China which is a nuclear power fyi and they have already issued a warning to the west that there would be dire consequences if this war of aggression escalated.
What we have to be careful of is an attempt by Trump to now force easing of world sanctions on Russian oil. Putin is far more desperate for cash to keep his own domestic arms industry (& his economy) alive than he is on importing arms. Trump is in a position now to strangle the entire world's supply
