The Russians would only go to war for two countries, Belarus and North Korea, the Russians aren't going to stick their necks out for the Iranians, no such agreement was made.
The Chinese would only go to war if the question of Taiwan's sovereignty is brought up.
Those are the red lines.

A country's national interest takes priority before the clamour for multipolarism or the likes.

Hmmmmmmm

I don't think Iran can survive this fight honestly.
Aerial bombing, ground invasion, internal sabotage all at once.
They really mean this regime change.
Unfortunately, the Iranian backers can't be relied on.
And there has been series of events that the hegemon had done that has sent a clear message to the onlookers.
No reasonable leader will want his country to turn to Libya, syria, Venezuela, Cuba, iran, Yemen or North Korea presently.
No leader will want to be used as a scape goat like saddam Hussein that was grabbed, hung and buried deep in the sea nor Gaddafi that was dragged behind a car, raped before killed nor Maduro who was picked like a farmer and in jail.
These actions speaks volume without any deterrence nor blow backs.

There have been reports of alleged sightings of Chinese expatriates in the northern regions of Nigeria, reportedly in the company of armed herdsmen and individuals suspected to be linked to terrorist groups.

According to these reports, the expatriates are believed to be involved in illegal mining activities, with unverified allegations suggesting that some may be supplying weapons or logistical support to terrorist elements operating in the area.

⚡The U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of sustained, weeks-long operations against Iran if President Trump authorizes military action.

According to US officials the current planning is more complex than in the past scenarios and could involve strikes not only on nuclear facilities but also on Iranian state and security targets.

They also expect Iran would retaliate, potentially resulting in prolonged exchanges of strikes and counterstrikes.

⚡The British magazine The Economist dedicated the main article of its latest issue to the toxicity of the US currency and the assertion that "the old financial architecture is collapsing".

The article notes that dollar assets are no longer a safe haven, and the US currency itself is becoming toxic. While the US claims to have a "great economy", the figures say otherwise: since its peak in January 2025, the dollar has lost a tenth of its value in the currency rating.

It is also stated that US stocks denominated in euros have hardly brought any profits to investors over the past year. Experts from The Economist are confident that this is not just a temporary volatility, but a fundamental change.

The key conclusion of the article is that the world understands very well that storing savings in the currency of a country with an astronomical national debt (already more than $38.7 trillion and an aggressive sanctions policy is an unjustifiable risk.

. See how they reason. A mine with rope strapped to someone who doesn't want to die in the first place. Then one said he will be forced to lie down and wait for tanks to run him over as per the grass or vegetable wey him be 🤣😭🤣😭.

Then they took it to another level that the mine will be shot with a gun so it can explode and all of them are actively supporting this rubbish take oh my God 😂🤣😂😂😂😂.

The other most intelligent of them said it will be used as IEDs as if IEDs are not used as mines too.

It's called mine for a reason, you don't run into a moving tank with a mine this is not Hollywood 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 will the tank driver be watching while you run towards them? Them go blow your head before you even come near 🤣😂😂

⚡Reuters:

The U.S. and Ukraine are discussing a push for a Russia–Ukraine peace deal by March, though major disagreements—especially over territory—make that deadline unlikely.

Washington wants any deal quickly put to a Ukrainian referendum alongside national elections, possibly in May.

U.S. negotiators say timing matters as Trump is expected to shift focus to domestic politics ahead of the midterm elections.

amadivv:
.You people keep dodging the real point. Nobody cares whether a mine explodes or not — that’s just you shifting the goalpost so you don’t have to address the actual issue. The real discussion is about Africans being sent into dangerous assaults, humiliated, and treated as disposable. Instead of acknowledging that, you’re hiding behind technical distractions. If you truly cared about truth, you’d talk about the treatment and dignity of those men, not argue over side details to protect a narrative.Instead of showing concern for your own people, you’re busy defending a narrative and nitpicking side details.At some point, it stops being ignorance and starts looking like Will denial.The funniest part is watching you bend over backwards to defend a country that wouldn’t even look twice at you.

none of them use dollars by choice

iran trades in yuan and ruble with china and russia

LordAdam16:
you cannot compare russia and iran

as recently as 2014, russia was in the g8
russia is the 4th largest economy in the world by PPP
total russian reserves right now is $730B

putin made the gamble to ignore nato expansion so he could rebuild the russian economy without sanctions
and he succeeded

iran never had that opportunity
there was economic downturn before the revolution
immediately after the war, saddam invaded
the iraq-iran war last 8 long years and destroyed iran's economy
iran had sanctions before the war (due to the 1979 hostage crisis), during the war, and after the war
the us has maintained a mosaic of sanctions almost non-stop since 1979
they've added new sanctions this year

how iran is still standing today is the 9th wonder of the world

a billionaire tightening his belt is different from a broke former industrialist with a negative net worth
last year, russia exported more arms than iran exported oil in 2024
in 2024, in the middle of the ukraine war and biting sanctions, russia exports value was $377B with trade surplus of $175B (they imported $202B)
in comparison, iran exports value was $13B with trade deficit of $9B (they imported $22B)
and they have roughly the same population (russia is 120m v iran's 90m)

russia and iran are not in the same stratosphere
sanctions have destroyed iran, venezuela, and cuba
in a fair world, it'll count as a crime against humanity

and personally i think this is another reason why iran should have nukes

if i am sanctioned non-stop for 45 years
i will get a nuke even if an angel says i should not
no one who is that cruel deserves to sleep soundly at night

This doesn't make any sense.
How can a country be publicly showing that they hate another country and don't want it to progress by forcing a third country not to trade with it.
Where is the so called free-trade world?
China is in for a long thing.
Syria oil cut-off, venezuela cut-off and ow they want to mess with Iran to cut-off.
They are slowly strangulating china without confronting her head-on.
It is up to china to support and defend their interest with other axis or see themselves in a defensive position few years from now fighting for their own life too.

MADNESS!

ILLsrael is a GENOCIDAL state with Nuclear Weapons YET they are always trying to keep their neighbours WEAK.

The GOAL is to make it easier for them to be an absolutely TERRIBLE neighbour without a fear of consequences.

Their GENERATIONAL PTSD have left them all brutally TRAUMATIZED.
Instead of setting up National Therapy, they are funding clandestine terrorism acts in other people's countries.

The ONLY way to guarantee peace in the Middle East is allowing Iran to build their own Nuclear Weapons. And Egypt too, if they wish to.

That way, the fear of Mutually Assured Destruction would get EVERYBODY to behave and pursue diplomacy with their neighbours.

Right now, ILLsrael is the number one DESTABILISER of the Middle East.
They launch ATTACKS on other countries at the SLIGHTEST opportunity.

Things that other countries would RESOLVE with a single diplomatic meeting will result in ALL OUT WAR when ILLsrael is involved.

And this will NOT stop until their NEIGHBOURS have enough Firepower (including Nuclear Weapons) to match ILLsrael.

Or when the US Government stops automatically dancing to the tunes of ILLsrael.

⚡Iran's Fars:

Iran has deployed its advanced Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile to newly unveiled underground missile bases of the IRGC Aerospace Force.

With a 2,000 km range, a 1,500 kg warhead, and ~30 m accuracy, the missile is a key element of Iran’s active deterrence.

It reaches up to Mach 16 outside the atmosphere and Mach 8 inside, sharply reducing enemy air-defense reaction time.

the israelis successfully tanked the talks

then barely one hour later the us dropped all their pre-negotiation demands and accepted all iran's pre-negotiation demands
something extraordinary has been making the us to behave erratically
and i can't quite place my finger on it
