Regarding the recent post about whether alleged cooperation among the axis is real, here is a story from Iran’s controlled media (and quoting from Russia’s state-controlled media]—and it says the connections are a real thing, and will last decades (and through the UN) until the West (the U.S. and Europe) are defeated. “Russia says actively uses experience of Iran,” Mehr, 8-17-24. “’As far as anti-sanctions alliances are concerned we share experience. Iran has long been under sanctions, [same as] North Korea, Venezuela. We naturally have a close political dialogue with those countries, cooperation through intergovernmental commissions, cooperation between companies. We also use their experience in struggling with those restrictions,’ Dmitry Birichevsky [director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department of Economic Cooperation] said at a Valdai Discussion Club event on sanctions against Russia, according to TASS.”
