This is amazing
The fact that Russia is leaning on Iran is beautiful
They are so bloody atrociously incapable of a on peer battle with NATO it's almost shocking
This glorious ineptitude has made the real threat
China completely second guess it's strategic planning
They previously believed like most of us did that Russia was a dangerous and capable partner for them if shit hit the fan
Now it's been proven otherwise
We just bought a fuckload of time with dobby the house elf's clown posse shit show in Ukraine >

I’m certain China shelved a decade of planning to evaluate this new reality. They aren’t hasty and paradigm shifts like this are things they will look to leverage in the long term. But in the short term, they will play it safe. And in Chinese geopolitical doctrine, the short term is decades. 
Iran is the loose cannon right now. The regime is fragile and it is flexing as Russia’s savior. Israel has every incentive now to take the Russian invasion of Ukraine seriously. Iran might get a nuke out of this. Russia has to pay Iran somehow and don’t underestimate the possibility that Moscow pays Tehran with enriched uranium.
