    If you genuinely don’t understand that Iran is only able to step up because of support from Russia and China, what else is there to say really.

      Iran engaging in international solidarity at massive risk to themselves is because of how epic and based Russia and China are apparently. So where’s that international solidarity for Cuba? Or is Cuba implementing their new reforms for reasons entirely unrelated to the US blockade?

        Once again, since you keep ignoring the elephant in the room, the only reason Iran is able to engage in international solidarity is because of the solidarity Russia and China have with Iran providing them with weapons, technology, economic aid, and diplomatic support. Evidently the concept of any support outside direct military action is just too difficult for you to comprehend.

        Similarly, the whole context for this thread is China providing Cuba with the material means to deal with the energy crisis. But hey, why engage with reality when you can just confidently spew idealist nonsense. Once you’ve done better then you get the right to screech, but until then kindly sit the fuck down.

          In exchange for oil and other goods and to improve their own geopolitical position. Not out of international solidarity.

          Let’s change the question because you don’t seem to understand it: Why is Iran helping Palestine?

            The fact that it’s not pure altruism isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is. And of course, Iran isn’t helping Palestine out of pure altruism either. Why do you think Iran just sat by while the genocide was happening for over a year. They could’ve closed Hormuz any time. The reason they are taking action now is because they’re being threatened by the empire and its outpost in Israel. Iran is also trying to improve its position in the region. It’s frankly incredible that you don’t understand this.
