Putin heads to Tehran for talks with leaders of Iran, Turkey

Putin san seems smarter than Biden san.

The world is dividing into two camps, the US and its vassal states on one side and China, Russia and the states who refuse to bow to the great empire on the other.

reckless: come to the US, work at any govt institute. there is no difference with china, it is pure dictatorship.

you like it or not. Putin san smatter than Biden. It is what it is. I am no fan of Putin.

This should / will prove whether Iran is a friend of the world or exactly what they have been accused of.

Putin should be arrested and despatched to The Hague - he is an A-listed War Criminal.

Where are the world's leaders / authorities / Interpol etc. who are supposed to be taking care of these things, when a War Criminal is allowed to travel and conduct himself as though he's done absolutely nothing wrong ??

He's continuing to murder tens of thousands of ordinary innocent people, men, women and children, and yet the normal, Liberal Rest-of-the-World seems to just look away - what the hell is going on ??

Reckless:

India is a dictatorship? South Africa is a dictatorship? And lots of others I can't be bothered to list.

Putin may suck, but this wholehearted admiration for some of the US allies (poor Ukraine?) and for the way Ol' Joe and his minions have tried to deal with Putin's aggression is not very admirable either.

India is a dictatorship? South Africa is a dictatorship? And lots of others I can't be bothered to list.

No. But they are pandering to a dictatorship. Not everyone in these countries want to be on the wrong side of history, but what can they do? It's just foreign policy: most of these countries get their weapons / have loans with Russia.

Putin: We ran out of crappy weapons killing civilians in a terror campaign. Can you back-fill our stocks with some of your crappy weapons?

Khameni: Are you going to look the other way when we develop an operational nuke?

Putin: Sure

Khameni: Ok then, But USD only

Biden said he'd be willing to use military force against Iran 

Of course this will be a righteous invasion

It’s not so much about dictatorships vs. democracies. It’s more about the last resources and the grade of industrialization or economic system. Many nowadays think they can easily decrease industrialization due to aging, climate considerations, missing resources, becoming less independent from the ones who have those resources. That’ll turn out suicidal and affects mostly the Western capitalistic industrialized democratic countries. Capitalism is growing and growing at all costs, the source for innovations and new technologies too. A severe back development and poverty everywhere will be the result, if the West continues to think it could downgrade itself just only to punish the resources owning countries by less buying from them. Look, you simply cannot destroy their economies, because they just don’t have any significant ones. But it might turn out very bad if they cut the industrial roots of capitalism by not selling or supplying the resources.

I'm sorry but I just read on the BBC that Iran is penalising people for dog ownership with arrests and dog confiscation.

> Is this a safe climate for Putin to be visiting

You do realise that plenty of western countries have regulations regarding pets including owning one, ex: most Tokyo wards require license and no more than 2 dogs per household or the dogs can be seized and owner fined.

Germany regulations are insane, making owning a pet a near full time job and arrest fines etc.. for breaking any of them are the norm.

As far as I could see the Iran law applies basically to urban areas.

You mean dictatorships versus democracies?

Duocracies at best! Very little difference between so them please don’t try to paint the USA or heaven forbid Saudi Arabia and Israel as the noble warriors! Anyone with a brain knows what a fallacy that is!

Sell those drones and whatever you like to Putin, and the answer will be clear.

The REAL World will have its answer.
