    Russia doesn’t give a fuck about Iran outside of munitions production.

    This isn’t the most relevant part of this exchange, but I always find it interesting when people, presumably westerners, say things like this. It’s not like you’re in any position to know what countries the Russian government does or does not care about, so i can only assume you’re just kind of…saying shit? Which hey, as a westerners myself I understand, we love to just say shit and make guesses and present them as obvious facts, but that’s all this is. And I think it comes from this unexamined thing we grow up with, this idea that the way our governments act is normal and common sense, and anyone in the same position would act the same way. But the more I learn, the more i think that’s not true, and I think it leads to people making unfounded projections about other people’s values and intentions.

      Assume I’m Western then immediately admit you’re “westerners”

      Actions are the most visible and generally the most truthful, Russia does not care about Iran.

      Who the fuck thinks the way any government acts is normal, are you fuckin drunk or something?

        Actions such as sending them advanced integrated radar systems before the US attack and sending them upgraded drones that have been improved with the lessons learned in Ukraine. If you think these are the actions of a government that doesn’t care, i think you might be drunk. I also think you would benefit from doing something else for a bit. I engaged politely, and you immediately turned and snarled. You’re clearly wound tight right now, and are arguing using claims that don’t make sense for the sake of a “win”.

          As payment sure also there’s not much proof to show it actually worked or was complete given the Russian aa radar gap.

          Yea, your opinion on what I should put shouldn’t do means literally nothing to me bud.

          Oh I snarled did I?
