Why Aren't Iranians Burning Russian Flags Putin Approved Hit

Everyone knows Trump takes orders from Vlad.

Since all at Mar A Lago knew something was coming, Putin had to know of, or I believe order the hit.

Iran should be mad at Russia.

Not hardly letting Trump and his gang off the hook.

Putin had to approve hit.

And I suspect putin wants their oil so he can try to control its supply , and who gets it. Probably why trumps also said we should have taken Syrian oil, and was likely for putin. I also think he's using trump to set up Iran to take it from them.

here at DU. No matter what trump does, he does it because he "wants" too. I am not saying Putin doesn't have influence on trump, I am saying trump is narcissistic asshole who enjoys hurting other people and will do whatever he has to to gain more power and of course money.

In the end trump is responsible for what he is doing.

Sometimes, frenemies are better than actual enemies.

Sure, they will both hurt you, but at least the sex with frenemies can feel good while it lasts.

He supports Trump because Trump and his supporters are total fuck-ups.

It's all about destroying the competition.

Iran is no real threat to Russia's machine, the U.S.A. was.

I can see it now, Putin smirking saying he had nothing to with hit, didn't he point at our Intelligence agencies as being the culprit?

Putin deflects responsibility and mayhem too. Should not be surprising since he's an ex-KGB'er to the core.

Brilliant move Vlad.

For you.

Not for the rest of the world, like that ever mattered to you.

Look at the $$$ you get from the new oil price!
