Russia is using Iranian drones to terrorize Ukrainian civilians. Reports say Moscow is even bringing in Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps technicians to work on the drones. Moscow has reportedly acquired thousands of Iranian-style drones, and these are now harming Ukraine’s power grid and killing civilians.
The Russia-Iran alliance is clearly growing, after years in which it wasn’t clear whether Moscow saw Iran as a regional ally in the Middle East or a strategic partner. Russia and Iran have worked together in Syria, and it was Iran’s IRGC Quds Force head Qasem Soleimani who encouraged Russia’s Vladimir Putin to intervene in Syria. But Russia has also been willing to talk to Israel regarding Syria, and Moscow has not always seemed totally pleased with Iran.
The Ukraine war appears to have changed Moscow’s calculations, and now Iran and Russia are working together, as Russia seeks to move away from the West and form a new authoritarian-led world order alongside Iran, China, Turkey and other states.
~Snip~
It’s interesting that back in 2009 Moscow was already seeking to upgrade its drones. Today, Moscow relies on Iran’s drones for its war on Ukraine.
It’s clear that the conflicts in Georgia and Syria loomed large over Russia’s calculations in Ukraine and its growing ties with Iran.
The US decision to shift focus in 2009 may have enabled Iran to grow its ties to Russia, emboldened Moscow in Syria, and left Israel worrying about what might come next.

Commentary:
The Russians and Iranians have been in bed together with this from day one because the Russians see Iran as a useful anti-U.S. regional power.
For Putin, it has always been about weakening U.S. power and influence wherever he can. For the Ayatollahs it's about domination.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration agreed to use Russia as moderator in Iranian negotiations.
Just how has that worked out for Biden?

Depleting the treasury by shooting 4M missiles at 75K Iranian drones.

The discussion needs to be reframing as the Russia/China/Iran/Brics alliance.

That then makes Iran's power significant and indeed disrupts the world order that has been manufactured by America.

Comments in that respect please?

Russia -Iran is just part of the 70% of the world that increasingly wants the US and hence the EU out of power and influence .
The US as a project has done immeasurably more harm than good and now that it is bankrupt it is fast running out of pals .
It always lacked friends .

The alliance between Russia and conservatives in the West is in fact a danger to world stability.

This is false on it's face.
Too many conservatives are war pig's too and feed from the same trough as Dimm war pig's.
