While all this Iran s$$$ has been going on, Ukraine has been kicking Russia's ass. They are on the verge of repossessing Crimea. They are in complete control of the Sea of Azov. He is strangling the Russian forces that are now stranded along the west bank of Azov and killing 30,000 a month, with very few Ukrainian casualties because they are being hit with drones.

And while that is happening, Ukraine is also hitting hard inside Russia, already taking 20% of their oil resources offline, and destroying important military assets frequently. Maybe it is too early to call it a rout, but Trump and Putin are surely s$$$ting bricks these days.

And practically none of this is being mentioned on the US MSM. You can be certain all the European leaders know the score, and that is why they are laughing when Trump says things like "The US was there for you. You are never here for the US." Well, this war *IS* and invasion of Europe and Trump allied with Putin. You can't get much worse than that as an "ally".

The Europeans can see that both Russia and the US are stuck in a different century militarily. Ukraine has the technologies that make the difference in today's warfare.
