>>507779645 (OP)No, Iran was just retarded and listened to its hardliners instead of pursuing closer ties with Russia years ago
Notice that the DPRK hasn't been left hung out to dry by Russia
>>507779645 (OP)Ok but aside from Israel and Russia, who would this deal be good for?
no hard feelings ahmeds
but banans don't grow in persia
Russia has never made any alliance or promise to support iran in case of war
its pretty obvious that the balance of power is shifting. the big powers are basically dividing the world among each other right now. each great power gets their own turf that the others won't touch. US probably told russia they'd let them have ukraine, and in return the russians will not interfere in the arctic region and middle east.
>>507779645 (OP)Sounds like a good deal. The USA and Israel would never go back on their word or backstab a friend.
