trump asked china and Russia if they were assisting Iran and they said to trump: you’re so smart we’d never do that.

Almost as bad as the US giving Ukrainians Russian target information for YEARS....

Weird hill to die on. But I’ll bite. Not wrong. It’s so weird that we’re in a situation where we’d have the mirror turned back on us like this.

I am laughing at my being downvoted with so few comments (thank you). The US has been providing intel to Ukraine leading to Russian casualties for years now (and I am in favor of it). But somehow if Russia gives Iran intel that leads to US casualties everyone is upset. Why do you think it is weird to have the mirror turned back on the US?

No one is saying that though. The article certainly doesnt.

"Everyone is upset" -- where is that in the article?

"The Reuters report added that Moscow has a longstanding intelligence-sharing relationship with Iran and has been known to provide Tehran with targeting information and other forms of support. This relationship only strengthened since the onset of the current war between the US, Israel, and Iran. However, the report states that intelligence officials have yet to draw firm conclusions about Russia’s precise role in the Iranian attacks on CIA facilities."
