While the president brags about his “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran and throttling its oil exports, its weapons sales to Russia get a pass.
While Donald Trump brags about his “maximum pressure” campaign to impoverish Iran and force its leaders to give up its nuclear program, there remains one source of revenue that the president appears to be OK with: Iran’s sale to Russia of deadly drones, missiles and technical expertise to help slaughter Ukrainian civilians.
Iran has earned at least tens of millions of dollars, perhaps many hundreds of millions, from its agreement to supply weapons to Russia over the past two years. And while that deal drew new sanctions against both countries under former President Joe Biden, it appears to have received no pushback from Trump.
“Not sure why specifically the Trump administration is not making this an issue with Russia,” said Steven Pifer, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in its early years after the breakup of the Soviet Union.
Trump openly supports Russia, why the fuck would he care?
Who thought he would care?
Why would Putin’s puppet care?
It’s quite funny that he thinks he’ll be remembered as a deal maker even if he didn’t manage to make any deals that actually fixed anything. In reality he will be remembered as a person who was easily used by a foreign state.
Doesn’t want to upset his boss
So the regional theocracy-for-hire ships missiles to the kleptocratic corpse dragging half the world down with it, aimed at the last place still bothering to resist. And the golf course messiah/antichrist? Dead silent, obviously.
Iran is already under strict sanctions, what else is there? Pretty sure he’s powerless to do anything about this unless Huffpo is suggesting he should declare war on Iran.

In the spirit of bipartisanship, I think we can all agree it is time to invade Iran.
Huh? Hell no it’s not! You want Iraq 2.0? Because that’s how you get Iraq 2.0.
You want Iraq 2.0?
After Yemen, Syria, and Libya I think we’re closer to Iraq 6.0
Now remember that Iran has almost four times the population of Syria.
And is like 80% mountains.
