    At least Iran and Russia’s interests are aligned with most of the world against imperial core countries.

    This. I count myself like one of the most of the world part and I definitely DO NOT aligh with any interests Russia had in past 100 years.

      The USSR directly funded and supported emancipatory movements against the US all over the world, like Vietnam, Cuba, Korea, Bangladesh, Palestinian resistance organizations like the PFLP, etc; even directly supplied wars against “israel” for that last one. Afganistan is about the only one where the US and USSR funding opposite sides turned it into a warzone instead.

      Russia’s foreign interests, even after the USSR’s overthrow, have remained broadly aligned with Global South countries as I explained in my previous comment.

      I do too, and hence critically support Russia and Iran’s role in geopolitics.
