Unfathomable questions

These questions are so much part of where we are in the world but yet, they are unfathomable. Take a quess, what is your calculus on these?

1. The full spectrum agreement between Russia and Iran seems to be taking a long time. I’ve seen news from time to time that the Iranian president, Masoud Pezeshkian, is preparing to visit Russia for signatures. On the other hand, Iran is still saying that they will respond to israel as a result of the latest israeli attack which seemingly did nothing much, at the time of their choosing.

-Is Iran (and Russia) waiting for signature of the agreement that looks like it has a sizable defense aspect to it, before Iran retaliates? Is that what holds up this agreement? Either Iran depends on it, or Russia does/does not want to go this way?

2. On 30 September 2015, Russia launched a military intervention in Syria after a request by the government of Bashar al-Assad for military support in its fight against the American backed free Syrian army and Islamic State (IS) in the Syrian civil war. I remember that so well as it was extremely fast. The announcement was made and the troops and their planes were in within hours.

In December 2017, the Russian government announced that its troops would be deployed to Syria permanently. President Putin said at the time that they are in Syria to: “stabilise the legitimate power in Syria and to create the conditions for political compromise.” Currently Russia has two airbases in Syria and their actions look to be of a protective nature, but still limited, in that they will not attack israeli war planes in certain areas that shoot into Syria.

There are many questions here.

-Seeing that they are in Syria, why not extend their mandate and actually deal with the israeli attacks on Syria?
-Why not, while they have the airbases right there and handy, extend their mandate to assist Lebanon in the same circumscribed and protective manner?

3. Russia has announced that they will put missiles in Asia as reported by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

-Which countries do you think will receive Oreshnik’s as gifts? Back to question 1, will Iran receive a few gifts?

4. There are private military groups of contractors, example Academi, previous known as Blackrock. We know that China speaks peace and talks peace and walks peace.

-Why does China not float a few peacekeeping private contracting groups, and take over the peacekeeping on the Lebanon/Israel border and certain areas of Africa plagued with terrorism. They have many peacekeepers already in place as part of Unifil, on the Lebanon – israel border. Peacekeepers are usually formed by the UNSC. But if we have private military groups, why not private peacekeeping forces? This is how big China’s peacekeeping through the UN is currently. https://theglobalobservatory.org/2023/05/chinas-small-steps-into-un-peacekeeping-are-adding-up/

5. Everyone says Biden is doing all these insane moves to ‘throw’ Trump under the bus.

-It is much larger than this. Money, US companies have bought up Ukrainian land, availability of minerals as Lindsey Graham already said. How come this is being missed. As well as the biological laboratories and the sheer graft between US officials and Ukraine. Why do people not see this?
