  1. If Iran can supply Russia ballistic missiles to strike inside Ukraine, same as America and the West can supply Ukraine missiles to strike inside Russia. 🤷🏾‍♂️. Why isn’t Ukraine allowed to use US and West weapons to strike inside Russia? I don’t understand 🤦🏾‍♂️

  2. This guest didn't know Jack.

    Russia is producing more than enough missiles for its needs.

    Russia just doesn't have intermidate range missiles because it signed an anti intermidate missile treaty with the US in the 1980s that banned this entire category of missiles.

    The US walked away from that treaty during the Trump Administration and up until very recently Russia never bottered to produce these category of missiles up until now.

    That is they are getting these missiles from abroad until it it's industries can meet up with its demand.

    Russia is out manufacturing the West in all weapons systems.

    It is the US whose industrial base can't meet its military needs.

  3. Ahmad Bakhshaesh Ardestani, a member of the parliamentary committee on national security, acknowledged Iran's military assistance to Russia.

    "We have to engage in barter to meet our needs, including importing soybeans and wheat. Part of the barter involves sending missiles and another part involves sending military drones to Russia," Ardestani said in an interview with Didban Iran on Saturday, as quoted by Iran International.

    Asked whether this could lead to increased sanctions against Iran, the MP replied: "It can't be worse than it is now. We give rockets to Hezbollah, Hamas and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not give them to Russia?"

    "We sell weapons and get dollars. We bypass sanctions thanks to our partnership with Russia. We import soybeans, corn and other goods from Russia. Europeans sell weapons to Ukraine. NATO entered Ukraine, so why don't we support our ally by sending missiles and drones to Russia?" Ardestani said.

  4. What I can say is that Russia has more missials then whole
    Of Europe! Can you believe uk has only 42 working tanks? Russia still has 2000 tanks which is more then whole Europe !
