The CEO of the corporation called ”Russian Federation” acts like a catalysing indicator: whoever he praises is in utter danger. But maybe, with Iran able to successfully defend herself, the cards are changing?

With Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi meeting the head of the Russian Federation, some people may think (and, even worse: write!) that Russia is now, finally, on the right side, aiding Iran in the fight against the aggressor, the USA and Israel.
If that were true, it would be an outstanding miracle.
Actually, having witnessed Russia’s ”aid” to its allies of the past 27 years, I fear nothing could be further from reality than this noble assumption.
My thesis is: Putin is not trustworthy; he’s a servant to the global cult.
I will prove that by three examples that are so blatantly obvious in plain sight that everyone could see who wants to see.
I. Syria and Donbas:
Taking into consideration that Putin went into Syria in late 2015 (https://syrianews.cc/russia-engages-syria-late/), allegedly to prevent terrorism from spreading into Russia, it is at least highly dubious why he then stopped all effective military operations in 2016. Had he forgotten the virulence and violence of externally ignited terrorism, which had already been brought to Russia in the appearance of ‘Islamist terror’?
In 2015, I wrote: ”For 4.5 years, Russia stood aside, watching the western media campaign demonizing Assad whilst the western proxy armies of FSA, al-Qaeda and ISIS marched in and genocided the Syrian people, plundered the Syrian wealth and imposed utter pain on a civilized people.”
Well, this was the very exact time that the militias of the Donbas successfully defended their families and homes against the aggression of a professionally skilled and armed Ukrainian army that highly outnumbered the teachers, postal workers, and miners engaging as part-time militiamen. And what did Putin do? He, in fact, sat idle for 8 years, watching the Ukrainians slaughtering civilians in the Donbas, just to accept a poisoned Minsk agreement that served well for Ukraine but stole the victory of Debalzevo (2015) from the Donbas militias. In 2022, finally, he marched into Ukraine, allegedly to „demilitarize“ Ukraine and achieve its „denazification“.
Well, with more than 4 years of his ”Special Military Operation“, Putin has not even managed to liberate and secure all of the Donbas he annexed to Russia in late 2022, but has that part of Russia becoming ravaged by the war, whilst Kiev is still in control of parts of the Donbas.
He fooled the people of Donbas, whilst he fooled the Syrians. That, really, is quite an achievement.
Remember how skillfully he prevented the Syrian Arab Army from getting rid of the CIA- / Mossad- / Pentagon pest of ISIS and AlQaeda. After the fall of Damascus, to which he had done his part of the deal, he now plays servitude to the headchopping HTS-guy Al-Jolani, the Mossad-asset that is allowed to ruin Syria (https://syrian.substack.com/p/two-heads-of-russian-people-meet). He hailed Jolani and his „achievements“ when he met him in Moscow. Putin did know which ‘achievements’ the HTS had gained at this time, which can be named mass murder, terror, theft, and plunder (https://syrianews.cc/author/safaa_syria/).

II. Venezuela:
In January 2025, Venezuela and Russia had inked a bilateral agreement (Iran did the same), and in late 2025, Putin again had ensured Maduro of his support, just some weeks before the Orange Man grabbed Maduro and the oil.

III. Iran:
Historically, Russia and Iran have never been friends, and that is for a reason: Russian landgrabbing imperialism. Iran lost a great chunk of land (today’s Azerbaijan). In the Russo-Persian wars, Imperial Russia had intervened in Iran, playing the “Great Game” with England, which was also eager to gain control over Iran (not least to keep Russia away from its Indian colony). Both the 19th and 20th centuries have seen Russia acting against Iran.
Have we forgotten that the Kremlin Shabbos goy Putin just some months ago – for no reason! – refused to stand with Iran at the UN (Resolution 2817)? All the talk of friendship can seriously only be met with utter discontent and mistrust of a ‘Russian’ leadership that has a record of deception and betrayal. In that context, one may well remember the bizarre Russian policy about the S-300 deal (https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/russian-s-300-missiles-iran-groundhog-day-or-game-changer)…

Hence, Tehran possibly does not seriously expect decisive military help from Russia. Since October 1917, Russia has been under the control of non-Russians (https://arcaluinoe.info/en/blog/2025-02-22-dsr31zwh/) who have morphed Russia into a hostage to their power play. The Putin regime is firmly in the hands of non-Russian entities (https://arcaluinoe.info/en/blog/2025-02-26-z6ss3mtf/) that have already shown their true character.
The bilateral treaty between Russia and Iran (https://carnegieendowment.org/russia-eurasia/politika/2025/01/russia-iran-strategic-agreement), which has been hyped up with clownish propaganda, will soon prove its real value (none), like the same kind of bilateral treaty with Venezuela has not saved that country from being attacked. As the treaty does not contain any military assistance, and by that no obligation for Russia, it is of secondary importance for Iran in the situation of defending its very existence.
Well, I could have added Serbia, Libya, and Armenia to this list, too. But I suppose you already got the picture.
Meeting Mr. Araghchi, Putin was quoted by the Iranian News Agency:
”Putin added that Russia will do its utmost to ensure peace in the Middle East as soon as possible.“
(https://en.irna.ir/news/86139001/Iranian-FM-meets-with-Russian-President-in-St-Petersburg)
Really?
- Where is this “peace in the Middle East” that supposedly exists and that Russia wishes to “ensure” – apart from in the cemeteries and mass graves of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran?
- What could this ”utmost” be, after Russia has thrown Tripolis and Damascus under the western bus?
- When will that ”as soon as possible” be, and to which conditions?
You see, that is all empty talk. No current events or trends indicate that Russia under the current regime would change its fatal foreign policy (that so grotesquely contradicts Russian interests) to the good. And why should Putn stop being an asset of the global cult, when being such has been profitable for him?
To those who believe in the fairy tale of man-made climate change, it must be of utter pain to realize so much CO2 has been produced for gaining nothing.
Anyway, it will not be Putin who decides the fate of Iran, but the Iranian people. Seeing the Iranians coming out to the streets to protect their country’s infrastructure with just their very bodies has shown the world that this nation is united. Even if the USA and Israel combined may have the firepower to literally outgun Iran, it will be far more costly to them and their vassals as it already is (https://www.dw.com/en/as-iran-war-rages-europe-gears-up-for-energy-crisis/a-76641027). Thanks to the smart way of the Iranian warfare, the West has already had to recognise the repercussions.
Despite all the nice talk of diplomats (with Mr. Araghchi being the smart one and Lavrov being something different), I am optimistic that the Iranian leadership, which has already shown so much wisdom in battling the aggression, is very well aware of Putin’s role as CEO of the “Russian” branch of the Rothschild empire.
Today, the Iranian nation appears stronger than before the current war. This does not surprise anyone who has had an eye on the region in the past. The people in the West, blindfolded by arrogance and misled by ignorance, now receive some costly extra lessons. And Russia, with Putin and Lavrov defining the foreign policy from an Israeli perspective, presumably will again greatly portray itself as the bystander it has to be.
By the way, just be reminded that Iran is the only nation that has yet successfully combated aggression by two nuclear powers.
