But nobody is about to tell the Emperor that he has no clothes. The capper came yesterday when it was revealed that Putin & Co. had been providing Iran with intelligence to help Iran strike US warships, aircraft and other US assets. And the administration said that made no difference!
These people are living somewhere beyond the great beyond. In a lovely ironic turnaround, the US is now asking Zelensky for help in thwarting Iran’s quite effective drones—supplied by Russia.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says the United States and its allies in the Middle East are seeking Ukraine’s expertise in countering Iran’s Shahed drones. Tehran has been supplying Russia with Shaheds for its war on Ukraine and are now utilising them in retaliatory attacks throughout the Gulf.
Russia would claim that “helping the Iranians against the U.S. is little different than the Americans helping the Ukrainians against Russia.” Can you imagine Donald’s feelings of betrayal after so many years of stroking Vladimir’s ego and assuming they had a true friendship? Well, I don’t know, maybe he’s still in denial about that. And the Big Bloviator is now demanding “unconditional surrender” to end the war. Another pipedream. All this cannot but end badly. Very badly.
John, I agree with your title. At the least, he’s in really, really quite a pickle. How is he going to try and wiggle out of this one?
Could there be any winners in a three way chess game? Four if you include Iran? Anyone care to diagram this? I get dizzy just thinking about it.
