The US has become a rogue state run by Zionist fanatics who use genocide and regime change as policy objectives. A multi-polar world by nuclear armed actors is the only way to secure the peace. The US only understands mutually assured destruction.

Russia (Wagner only for the RSF) and iran support[ed, rip bozo bashar alkalb] Assad and the RSF, they also support genocide and are no better than the US and zionism.

I said Russia instead of Wagner when talking about the RSF originally, but I was corrected. But wagner is state funded, and Russia itself supports the opposition??? It’s a little odd.

You want to trade notes about how many dictators and psychopaths America supports and has supported?

Sure, but that still doesn’t change the reality that they are all genocidal. Not sure what point you were making there.

Russia supporting the RSF? Russia is supporting the Sudanese military; it's Wagner that's supporting the RSF. Definitely true about Assad though.

I don’t think there are any good guys at the top of any international power pyramids.

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.
