Iran and Russia are alike. All talk no action.

Russia invaded Ukraine. What does "action" mean to you? Global thermonuclear war?

Tit for tat. Eye for an eye. No cunning plans. No revenge is best served cold. No Russia/Iran is playing long game.

Iran bombed a US base. They will bomb Israel too.

Statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with the attack on the Iranian Consulate building in Damascus

On the evening of April 1, the Israeli Air Force attacked the Iranian Consulate building in Damascus. As a result of the attack, the building was completely destroyed. According to incoming information, there is a significant number of dead and wounded, including diplomats.

We strongly condemn this attack on the Iranian consular office in Syria.

We consider any attacks on diplomatic and consular facilities, the inviolability of which is guaranteed by the relevant Vienna Conventions, to be categorically unacceptable.

We draw special attention to the fact that the attack was carried out in a densely populated metropolitan area, which created a high risk of mass casualties among the civilian population. We proceed from the fact that such aggressive actions by Israel are absolutely unacceptable and must be stopped.

We consider it necessary for all responsible members of the international community to clearly define their position and appropriate legal assessment of these actions. We strongly urge the Israeli leadership to abandon the practice of provocative military actions in Syria and other neighboring countries, which is fraught with extremely dangerous consequences throughout the entire region.

If Russia became like the west then the west has won. Russia is a civilised grownup, not a petulant child with tantrum issues.

The west is evil and if you fight fire with fire then you become the evil you claim to be fighting.

There are plenty of ways Iran and Russia can respond and taking the time to formulate how to damage those who are responsible makes good sense.... as opposed to the western habit of immediately lashing out and often inflicting more damage on itself than the desired target... you know... like all that cheap energy the west used to get from Russia, or from a Finnish perspective all that cheap timber and electricity and even tourism they used to get from Russia they have turned their backs on.

The west is losing and their only hope now is to get Russia to lash out the way they do so they can point and say they are no better than us to the rest of the world.

Russia and Iran are grown ups though which is why they are not in the position the west has put itself in.

whining to the UN is not going to solve anything.

You have to use the official channels in place to show they don't work before you can get other countries to agree to create a real international alternative that is not controlled by the colonial west.

A necessary step in a future for change.

When the west refuses to condemn the Israeli attack on an Iranian consular building in Syria then perhaps Russia might say that a certain US consular building in the Ukraine that is clearly performing non consular roles should therefore be a legitimate target for an FAB-3000 perhaps in the near future...

I look forward to western excuses justifying the Israeli attack because those excuses can be used in response to their wall of protests against Russia doing the same thing in Ukraine.

I have to reply and remind . It is the Iranians fault for not retaliating for previous attacks . They disguise human sacrifice for " martyrdom . " keeps the locals happy and keeps the status quo in power . But can they let this go too ? Line up the coffins in a parade and sing a religious song . Blame the outside and forget the inside ! The Zionists did this for exactly the same reason . Demonstrations against Netanyahu , and people must blame the outside and forget the inside .

And we must not let them look outside . They must look inside . And we can not let this go too . And we should , if we could , avoid a regional war . A timely and proportional response not aimed at the average Zionist citizen . A retaliation with the power to convince them , if they had any sense , not to escalate or do it again ! And a response that helps the Palestinians and the axis fighting the Zionists .

Then port and Airport facilities importing American munitions are best targets . They can not hide or move these . They do expect an attack now . Damage them to the point , they can not immediately be used , or in the near future . A retaliation that mirrors theirs , launched from Iranian soil against Israeli soil . Not involving third countries or consulates or private Villas .

If they had any sense , then they would refrain from further attacks . But the Zionists are drowning in their own filth . And like a crashing man , will pull down anyone trying to swim and pull them out . Therefore Iran must be ready for further escalation , up to and including a nuclear attack or exchange . It is either this path or Iran accepting the dictatorship of the Zionists from now on !

I have said before , a war between Iran and Israel , may only be a platonic war . A remote and unproductive or inconclusive war , since the opportunity to capture the opponent's territory is difficult . The enemy then always having the opportunity to rejuvenate in the spring . It does not matter how Iran responds , Israel has started a war and Iran has to retaliate directly or indirectly . And leaving a wounded enemy is worse than leaving an enemy .

So as far as possible , Iran has to finish the job . It will not be enough to give a " slap in the face . " To make the enemy regret , but to annihilate the enemy .  The Zionists are not Jesus Christ , they will not turn the other cheek ! Iran needs to send a land Army to occupied Palestine across Iraq , through Syria and attack from there . As well as a massive air strike by missiles / planes . And also interception of submarines and Ship at Sea . Of course Iran needs to make ready a nuke or two , in case the Zionists get the hunger for radiation poisonings .

As previously all important facilities should be ready for strikes . Nuclear fuel to be removed from reactors . Emergency generators on standby . Water reservoirs and public storage to increase . Emergency Radio masts on the ready . Oil and Gas storage underground , empty tanks and tankers above ground . No good going about this half- cocked !

The English language articles , point to no retaliation ! But giving the Zionists a parking ticket for destroying Iranian consulate and killing Iranian advisors !!

https://en.mehrnews.com/news/213506/Pro-Palestine-naval-drill-to-be-held-in-Iran-4-countries

The Iranians will defeat the Zionists by fishing Boats naval drill in the PG region !! They have also planned big demonstrations on Quds day ! This explains the dichotomy between the English language articles and Persian language articles . The hapless and compromised / unpopular minority administration , has already made full use of the corpses of the sacrificed Iranian soldiers , to get people into the street ! But this will not buy them security or legitimacy .

Iranian military personnel should now either avoid going to Syria , or establish own security protocols to defend their lives . Those in power in Iran have more uses for them dead than alive ! Zionists now have a free hand at attacking Iran itself .

The Zionists are making full use of distraction tactics ! Well done ! But soon cry wolf , will not bring the villagers out in support ! That is why they need to escalate to keep the show going ! They need real wolves !
