Interesting to see how Putin kept emphasizing that Russia and Iran are very close allies when Russia needed Irans cheap lawnmower drones. And how the same man, now that Iran is under attack, pushes the dear ally under the bus.
Not that I particularly sympathize with the Mullah regime, or Moscow for that part. Just a case in point that traitors are never to be trusted.
I fully appreciate Zelensky's message, but no one should propagate links to these MAGA disinformation sites like "newsmax'. (Noel only uses a screenshot without a link, but adding a warning would have been even better)
Normalizing these illiberal propaganda agents is one reason why America became the dangerous hot mess it now is.
(And yes, I do respect President Zelensky's willingness to demean himself and engage those psychos; it is a long shot attempt to influence the orange moron and his circle.)

Israel entered into war with Iran in a way that creates the conditions for American leverage, hoping to drag the U.S. into all-out confrontation. But even though Israel started the war, it can't control how Trump will respond.

Spending a lot of money means a lot of human labor on something. And it has never meant that it's automatically good.
Sudden, large amounts of money often implies mal-investment. Or stated more bluntly, we're wasting people's lives many times with this stuff.
