Impressive that they hit something so far away.

But interesting that Iran is still supplying drones and parts to russia when we supposedly have pulled their fangs.

Very much a gauge of how bad a job trump and Hegseth are doing. They should have been the ones to hit that boat. But then daddy putin would be angry with them.

The Whitehouse has been deliberately trying to sabotage embargo and sanction efforts against Russia. It's not even like they've just been passively not supporting Ukraine. They've been actively trying to help Putin. Because like you say, they want to ingratiate themselves to Russia.

It's insane that russia is helping iran target usa troops, the casualty count is going up, and trump is still licking the crude from between putin's butt cheeks. Putin is actively trying to make sure trump fails in Iran, and trump still wont turn against him.

The republicans are going to lose the midterms and probably impeach trump again. But nothing will make him defy Putin.

That must be one hell of a kompromat they have on him.

Elections will not save us from Trump or the rest of the Epstein Class.

Stop acting like the usa need to be the world police

Where did you get that out of what I wrote?

That shipment was Iran’s payment to Russia, for Russian help targeting usa troops and help shooting down USA planes.

Just as china is getting oil from Iran to provide similar services.

You said the usa should have attacked the ship instead of ukraine that's a world police action. If the usa attacked it then the war will continue. The US has no choice but stop any military operation and implement the MOU. Ukraine attacking it is ligitimate but not if the usa did it
