🇷🇺🇮🇷Russia and Iran are now official allies - but not allies head-on, but allies against the enemy.

Putin signed a law ratifying a strategic partnership with Iran. The wording is tidy, but with a clear aim: in case of war - not to help the enemy of an ally, no sanctions against each other, strengthening political, economic and military coordination.

It's not a military alliance head-on - it's an anti-blocking treaty in crisis situations. In essence, if the US or anyone else starts a war against Iran, Russia will be obliged under this document not to be neutral in favor of the aggressor. And vice versa. It's not "Art. 5 NATO", but it is a formalized signal: your enemy is our enemy, even if he is still our "dialogue partner".

The context is not accidental: Trump is putting pressure on Tehran, trying to force it into a new "nuclear deal," while Moscow is simultaneously forming a sanctions-military axis of the inflexible.

Moscow in this case clearly shows that the world is divided into those who will wait for "partnership with the West" and those who are ready to unite in an alternative architecture.

'Ukraine Lost the War' - Political History and International Security Professor Joe Siracusa Tells Australians No More Money to Support Zelensky

'The Americans are not going to invest any more money in Ukraine. Ukraine has lost the war. It will have to make the best deal it can. And now there comes a moment for Putin, I think, when he will just decide to cash in his chips. He has nothing left to win. He has four regions. He has Crimea. He has done a damn good job of making sure that Ukraine does not join NATO, but remains a neutral zone on his border. So I think Putin has got everything he wanted. And now he wants to do business with the United States.'

Invest? Ukraine is a financial blackhole, run on corruption and fraud. Might as well just burn your money, at least that returns heat.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇨🇳 BREAKING: President Trump announces that the United States will substantially lower tariffs on China

'Tariffs on China will not be 145%, but they also won't be zero. We're working with China, and we're very happy with them' – Trump.

Trump decides to reduce China Tariffs

145% is very high, and it won't be that high. It will come down substantially. It will not be zero. It used to be zero.

- President Trump

I think there is nothing wrong on changing your opinion when you are wrong, though it was stupid to get into this situation.
