    I mean of course. Iran and Russia are this close today specifically because Trump showed Iran that the American-led West can’t be trusted by unilaterally reinstating sanctions, and that same Trump will become president in three days.

    Obligatory Iran and Russia aren’t good guys either disclaimer.
