Gilbert Doctorow: Attack on Iran Hardens Russia's Stance on Ukraine

Putin needs to wake up to the fact that the Trump regime is despicable and dangerous. Diplomacy with such people is an impossibity.

You CANNOT reason or negotiate with USA. They have NO honor or respect any 'rules'. Only deterrence is them knowing you will hurt them back. Notice how North Korea completely disappeared from face of the earth when they acquired nukes? I respect Putin for many things, but the man is completely deluded thinking Russia can be friends with USA.

Ukraine needs to be land locked.

Americans are very sensitive to gasoline prices. Genocide...not so much.

Decapitate Russia? What about a 10-megatons landing on top of the White House and Brussels's NATO HQ?

When the pipeline was blown up that was the act of war and Russia did nothing.

Right on. For many of my russian friends, Gorvachev was a traitor

There is no complete air supremacy over Iran ( as of 05-03 2026 ) , thats far from the truth , and nobody ( with common sense ) would expect Russia and China to participate in this war ( on the front line ) ! Iran is fighting against two countries with nuclear power ! Iran did not loose this war , so far , all they have to do FIGHT BACK , transform Tel Aviv and Jerusalem into a Moonscape and keep their government in power , and hope , other Persian Golf Arab nations ( the servants ) will dethrone their , western friendly , puppet regimes , forever !

Russia should not trust usa. Gorbachev WAS a Retrace Betrayer of CCCP. Iran 🇮🇷 is on the Right path. This war started israel, involving usa,who is became Papet to israel.

Dr. Gilbert is correct regarding its about time the Russian leadership wake up. Putin definitely took a broken Russian nation and slowly healed its broken Soul and made it rise again. Whole of Russia owes him the honour to bring back the dignity but it’s about time he now takes a different approach with respect to America and the Europeans. He must look like a true strong Russian leader of the past and take the fight back to the Americans and the bloody Europeans. Sending the oil tanker to Cuba and then turning the oil tanker around after few days is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Cuba has always been there for Russia when they were the USSR and fought battles in Angola for the USSR. Russia letting the Cuban people is totally unacceptable and ultimately. Irrelevant that 4 million Russian Jews live in Israel but they took the choice to leave mother Russia and thus their dual nationality should be revoked and Russia should only consider helping Iran and making sure they don’t fail as a nation
