2022, Steven B. Zwickel
The photos of Putin greeting the Ayatollah sent a shiver down my spine.
I can see what Putin gets from befriending Iran—an ally in his war against Western culture. The Iranian government has cracked down on Western art, entertainment, news media, and ideas like democracy, sexual equality and freedom of speech. That’s what Putin wants to do, too.
But what does Iran get from being Putin’s pal? They don’t need Russian gas or oil; they have plenty of their own. What does Putin have that the Iranians want? Could it be Russian nuclear warheads and missiles capable of reaching the US?
Now a much stronger shiver is running down my spine.
