    As if anyone cares what Lavrov thinks

    It is easier to be brave when you have nuclear warheads inherited from Soviet Union.

    I’m not surprised at the reaction of the various Gulf nations. While Iran doesn’t deserve to be attacked like it is, it isn’t like Iran was an ally to other Gulf countries.

      Exactly, plus: Gulf nations elites and regimes are there mainly due to US money, of course they side with “the west” in situations like these. Russia is just grumpy because they are losing each and every ally all over the world. They’ll need to become a vassal state of China in a couple of decades, provided China will bother.

        Watches the US getting demolished by Iran in West Asia, starts braying about Russia losing allies. 🤣

          Please expand, as I really dislike the US and would gladly find out more of what you’re talking about

            Iran has been systematically destroying US assets across the region, even mainstream western media is openly reporting on this. These assets took decades to build and cost trillions. They cannot be replaced. The US likely doesn’t even have the skills or the industry that produced a lot of them now.

            • https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/5/drone-targets-us-base-in-iraq-as-iran-attacks-hit-region-amid-us-israel-war

            Ted Postol, who is an MIT Professor and a former Pentagon advisor, just gave a lengthy interview on the problem with interceptions that I can highly recommend https://youtu.be/gbQI_IYz6uM

            The economics of the war simply don’t work for the US here. Iran is using cheap drones that cost thousands, and the US has to use multiple interceptors for each that cost millions https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/middle-east-crisis-irans-20k-drones-take-on-defences-of-us-worth-4-million/articleshow/129000886.cms

            The logistics for the US are terrible here as well as they have to ship weapons from across the ocean. Iranians are fighting on their home turf. Iran is a huge country, and it has large industry. The US cannot bomb it into submission. You just have to look at Ukraine to see why that’s impossible. Russia has been bombing it for 4 years now, and it’s still there.

            Iran is three times the size. On the other hand, US has fairly limited assets, and Iran absolutely can bomb them into oblivion. And every time the US loses a radar, a weapons depot, or a warehouse, their future logistics get progressively worse. And these problems accumulate.

            Finally, everybody in the region sees this as a war between Iran and US/Israel. After over a year of genocide in Gaza, the sympathies are not with Israel. US backed regimes will have a very hard time going forward if they continue participating on the side of the Epstein coalition. In fact, there was already an uprising in Bahrain, and there will only be more going forward.

              Since I’m not the one getting bombed, it’s funny how effective Russia and the US have been providing military intelligence to interfere with the other’s war.
