We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to use against the U.S. ​and Israel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‌Zelenskiy told CNN in an interview excerpt aired on Saturday.

Zelenskiy told CNN's Fareed ​Zakaria that it is "100% facts" ​that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheds ⁠to attack U.S. bases.

Iran pioneered the Shahed drone, ​a much cheaper alternative to expensive ​missiles. They first saw mass use in Russia's ‌invasion ⁠of Ukraine, where thousands of them have been launched by Russian forces since fall 2022, according to the Ukrainians.

What is really suspicious is how almost everything Trump does seems to benifit Putin, I'm even thinking this Iran war was mostly because Russias economy was starting to show serious cracks.

On the other hand Putin seems to Treat him like a moron.

It also benefits China, so please blame Xi as well.

China is going to leapfrog in technology with all you dimwits unable to claim any sort of responsibility, are done with fucking up things for yourself and everyone else again.

US is no stranger to genocide, massacres, attacking civilian, kids and native population way before Putin or Soviet Union existed.

But keep screaming at the boogeyman's shadow.

If Trump was not an incompetent moron then I'd say perhaps there is something to the idea that he's a Russian plant, but he is so this all probably just due to his inability to forecast the consequences of his actions.

Trump's incompetence does not preclude him from being a Russian asset. His buttons are easy to press if you can get access to him.
