“Russia is Iran war’s biggest winner”

[archives]

“Soaring oil prices pushed the White House to lift sanctions on the sale of Russian crude currently at sea, freeing hundreds of millions of barrels”

“Moscow was already profiting from the war. The same high prices have boosted its revenues by $150 million a day, with Urals crude up 40% month-on-month. It is “a stark reversal in fortunes,” the Financial Times noted: Moscow had been struggling with falling oil prices and lower sales to India under Washington’s pressure”

“The Kremlin will also be pleased the US has used huge numbers of munitions, notably advanced missiles that Ukraine badly needed”

And Russia is an ally of Iran, probably it’s only ally

It is way way way way too early to talk about winners and losers......yes the Empire is getting its ass kicked but we must wait to see how this turns out.

Yes it is making Russia more money but they need drones and their supplier just got blown up.

Did they? Why are they still attacking sites with drones?

Like that was weighed into the decision, besides, Iranian drones are easy and cheap to produce

 

[Matt Dillon]

Welp, it is what it is.
Can't have everything.
Higher oil prices will be a boon to Russia for a while.

Yes we are producing them and sending them to Iran now.

The winners and losers will be determined by the end of the war.

My opinion is that at the end of this the price of oil will stabilize and Russia will lose their source of sahed drones. Lets see wwhat happens.

As is Iran, while Russia enjoys the benefits

What could trump offer Iran to allow the war to end?

Russia's source of Shahed Drones is Russia. They are an open design, so anyone can produce their own, which is what Russia does.

Removing military bases from the ME is one request.

Like if trump actually wanted the war to end and Iran refuses?

I would say something like this. Iran the US wants to leave by this date. If you fire any rockets after this date we will destroy all iranian ports. If you fire rockets after this date we will destroy all iranian refineries. Then you escalate until you get to desalination plants dams and aquifers.

Iran the US wants to leave by this date.

How far back would we be retreating? Will we give Iraq to Iran? How about Saudi Arabia? And New Jersey?

If you fire any rockets after this date we will destroy all iranian ports. If you fire rockets after this date we will destroy all iranian refineries.

If that happens, how will the "Supreme Leader" pay for his dead daughter's braces? The ports have already been heavily destroyed. There is little hope they will be rebuilt any time soon. The Iranian Government desperately needs someone to blame, and you are volunteering us to be blamed.

Then you escalate until you get to desalination plants dams and aquifers.

Desalination plants are mostly in the Arab countries.
