People here think Russians as some noble country standing in the face of American imperialism. The reality is that they are both absolute bastards who only care about their own interests and lives of Muslims in the ME are dispensable in this pursuit of their interests. Muslims/Arabs in the Gulf cannot rely on anyone except themselves. They need to wake up and smell the qahwa!
Something I have noticed from my limited engagements with people from Eastern Europe--people who actually grew up under communism: A strange depressed mindset, even borderline shortage of spirituality, and not just in terms of organized religion, almost too mercantile in daily lives--like the 'Banya' of India. Maybe I am wrong but I had seen some in my circle from Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Slovak Republic and some staff from being on ocean cruises. It is hard to describe their mindset.
Okay, back to the topic. Per this Indian analyst, there is a 'certainty' that Iran will not lose this conflict. He cites several reasons for that, among the top being Iran's will to survive the onslaught. He also mentions the huge impact of China's Beidou system, including possibly leading to the downed American F-15s yesterday.
Worth watching if you have about half hour.
