    He takes his win from this war. While he probably won’t get any more missiles and drones from Iran, at least the oil price is rising so his financial situation gets better.

    Yeah right. This is exactly what Putin wants. Russian hegemony by way of Iran in the middle east has been a goal for like 50 years.

    It’s why we’re always picking at Iran. US has Isreal, Russia has Iran. This is all just bad political theatre on his part.

    He’s thrilled about this because if nothing else, it pushes Iran closer to Russia.

      People that are downvoting this: have you not been paying attention?

      We’ve known this for years. Putin loves the book Foundations of Geopolitics. Do you think I like it or something? Or are you just Russian bots? Russia has wanted Iran since at least 1991. They got formal with actual ties in the early 2010s. Putin may not be going to war right now, but this is exactly what he wants.

    The important question is: how/would it affect Russian economy, military production and capabilities, et cetera. Iran was a key partner to russian war efforts since the very start, providing important support in drone production - e.g. Shahed/Gyran models - and it’s not known to me if it was localized by now. Iran would obviously deprioritize any side project considering the country is itself in a hot war, so some pipelines of specialists and tools may be severed by now.

    Interesting. If he really felt that way, he probably could have called off his cocksucker. I mean. really.

    Yeah, he would never do cynical murders that violate international law, defenestration notwithstanding.
