Moscow is rushing to the support of its ally amid a joint US-Israeli bombing campaign

Russia is providing Iran with intelligence to help target US forces in the Middle East, according to a report, in a development likely to cause a rift between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Since the beginning of the war last Saturday, Moscow has been supplying Iran with the locations of US military assets, including warships and aircraft, three officials told The Washington Post.

The conflict has already spread far beyond the Middle East as Iran retaliates against US bases in the region, with attacks reported as far as Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka.

    Why wouldn’t they? I love how this is framed as if we wouldn’t and haven’t been doing the same thing.

      Exactly! Fuck russia (and the us too, of course), but to be, what, shocked or upset that russia is doing this is just plain idiotic.

        Reminds me of a BBC host interviewing a Iranian representative, and the reporter had the nerve to ask “Are you not worried how your strikes against Isreal will be seen in EU and the US?”

        His response was, “Isreal attacked first. We are only defending ourselves. What would you be us do? No other nation would stand by and let their children be slaughtered and not respond.”

        Russia also attempted to bring much needed Oil to Cuba but it was seized illegally by the US. The US just doing everything it can to make sure they are the most hated country in the world.

        Russia is awful in many ways. But their support for Cuban independence is still a strong hold over from the days of the USSR. Their actual people still see their relationship with Cuba as a point of pride from their history enough that Russian leadership will use it to gain political favor.

        Whatever the reason; I just want US hands off of Cuba. Fuck Marco Rubio.

          I agree with you there. The US needs to fuck off with their meddling with Cuba and Venezuela too.

      I’ve been seeing this headline since yesterday and I’m still confused by it. Of course they are providing targeting intel. What’s wrong with that? We do it all the time.

      I hope this gets old mushroom dick to clear full targeting data sharing of Russian forces with Ukraine again, now that daddy Putin has shown disloyalty.
