pcr speaks about the realities that he suspects the russians and persians fail to admit/recognize;
Both Russia and Iran are at war, and neither knows it.
Paul Craig Roberts
Russia is at war with Washington and Europe, a war that has vastly widened, but Putin thinks Russia is engaged in a Special Military Operation confined to the battlefront in Donbas.
Iran is at war, an existential war, with Satanic Israel, but the Iranian leadership thinks they are responding to an American “illegal military intervention.” All of Iran’s invective, threats, and vows are directed at Satanic America. Not a word about Satanic Israel, the cause of the conflict. America is just Israel’s proxy, as Ukraine is the West’s proxy against Russia.
As neither Russia nor Iran understand that they are engaged in existential wars, neither has a war plan to achieve victory.
Iran’s policy is to inconvenience the American empire with an oil shortage and vows to escalate Iran’s tits to America’s tats.
Russia’s policy is called TiT–Trust in Trump. John Helmer reports that the instructed Russian media and foreign policy analysts, who I suspect are financed by oligarchs, believe what they have invented as “the Anchorage spirit” has “given Russia a lot” by removing the US from direct participation in the conflict. https://johnhelmer.net/kremlin-orders-russian-gas-tanks-to-be-filled-with-more-anchorage-spirit-духа-анкориджа/
