ایرانی Russia is nobodys true ally. 1. Spanish Civil War. Russia robs Spains entire treasury of gold, supposedly in exchange for helping Republican Spain defeat the fascists. The help was incompetent. The fascists won, but Russia kept the gold.
2. Iran, 1945. Russia was the last occupying country to leave Iran. The bastards wanted to annex Iranian Azarbaijan for themselves, and it was only extreme pressure by Truman that forced Stalin to leave Iran. The Russian occupiers were also quite rude and disrespectful to the locals.
3. Afghanistan. Russia invades a Muslim country for its imperial ambitions, only to pull out and leave ally Najibullah dangling in the wind like a sack of shit. The poor bastard lasted a couple of years but met an ugly death at the hands of Islamic reactionaries.
4. Iran-Iraq War. Russia scandalously supplies Saddam Hussein with weaponry throughout the conflict, even as he deploys chemical weapons against Iranian civilians, not to mention his treatment of his own people.
5. S-300 issue. Russia refuses to honor contract with Iran for S-300 throughout the 2000s, citing U.N. sanctions, despite the fact that the system was not covered by sanctions as it is purely defensive.
6. Yemen. Russia scurrilously gets Abdullah Saleh and the Republucan Gaurd to switch against the Houthis as a favor to Saudi Arabia, dealing a serious blow to anti-Saudi efforts there. As of now, Hodeidah is in grave danger, despite the bravery of the Houthis.
7. Syria. Russia cedes Syrian territory to the Turks, so that Turks will buy their weapons. Was Syria asked if it agrees to Turk occupation. The Turks could have been fought and defeated convincingly at Afrin, but Russias business interests come first. There were Iranian units ready to push the Turks out, but now the filthy swine are entrenched on Syrian soil.
