UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
Russia leaked America’s war plan to Iran. Then sold Iran the weapons to survive it.
And almost nobody is talking about what it means when you read them together.
The New York Times and Politico report that on February 20, Russian intelligence delivered a fully developed US strike plan to Tehran. Target matrices. Launch platforms. Timing sequences. The entire campaign architecture handed to the IRGC while Geneva talks were still being scheduled. The foundational advantage of every air campaign since Desert Storm, surprise, was eliminated by Moscow with a single transmission.
Six weeks earlier, December 2025, Russia quietly signed a €500 million arms deal with Iran. The Financial Times obtained the contract details. 500 Verba MANPADS launchers. 2,500 advanced 9M336 missiles. The most significant air defense transfer to Iran since the S-300, negotiated through Rosoboronexport specifically to rebuild what Midnight Hammer destroyed last June.
One country told Iran exactly what America plans to hit. The same country sold Iran the weapons to defend against it. The deal was requested in July after Iran watched its air defenses get shredded. The leak arrived in February as the next campaign assembled. Whether coordinated by design or converging by logic, the effect is identical: Iran now knows what is coming and has the hardware to contest it.
Now add China. Reuters confirmed this week Beijing is nearing transfer of CM-302 supersonic anti-ship missiles to Iran. Mach 3. Designed to kill Aegis destroyers. While simultaneously photographing every American base, every carrier departure, every F-22 on Israeli tarmac, and publishing annotated imagery on Weibo in Mandarin.
Russia provides the intelligence and air defense. China provides the anti-ship missiles and real-time surveillance. Iran receives the strike plan, the weapons to contest the sky, and the missiles to threaten the fleet. No formal trilateral alliance. No treaty. Three powers independently ensuring an American strike costs the maximum possible.
Why would Russia, with 2 million citizens in Israel, 15 percent of the population and $3 billion in annual trade, arm the country sworn to destroy Israel? Putin answered this himself June 2025: Israel is “almost a Russian-speaking country.” The leak targets America, not Israel. The Verba missiles shoot at American aircraft, not Israeli ones. Degrade US power projection without endangering the diaspora.
Russia and China do not need Iran to win. They need America to spend. Every Tomahawk fired at Isfahan is absent from a Taiwan contingency. Pentagon insiders admitted 7 to 10 days of munitions. Moscow and Beijing are ensuring those days cost the maximum in precision stockpiles that take years to replenish.
Iran is not being defended. Iran is being instrumented. Armed enough to bleed. Informed enough to prepare. Equipped enough to threaten. Not enough to win. The optimal outcome for Moscow and Beijing is a war America wins at a price it cannot afford to pay twice.
Tomorrow, Saturday February 28, Oman’s Foreign Minister meets Vice President Vance in Washington carrying whatever Tehran authorized after Geneva’s most intense session yet. Technical talks move to Vienna next week. The diplomatic clock is still running. But the intelligence damage is already done.
Russia has already told Iran what is coming. China has already armed the fleet threat. The strike plan is compromised. The defenses are rebuilding. The anti-ship missiles are transferring.
The question is no longer whether America can strike Iran. The question is whether a campaign the enemy has already read is still worth launching.

Ol big forehead reptilian Master COON! Hate him
They did that to an old, blind human being.
China is trying to act like the US when the inherited Guam, Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.
Who is China’s Carter Godwin Woodson?
...but they needed to vote for someone that could win? Folks would rather vote for a ham sandwich than a Black woman! We don't deserve Jasmine!
Oh alright then lol
Feel good friday. Wanted to post some success stories regarding student loans...Apparently some forgiveness letters went out this week.....
$300k+ forgiven!
Hello everyone,
I’m new here but in case it’s encouraging for others I wanted to add my own PSLF success story and timeline. Forgive me if I get the lingo wrong!
- On December 21, 2025, I hit 120* payments as shown in the StudentAid tracker and submitted for forgiveness
- December 22 my employer completed the employer certification
- December 24, StudentAid confirmed that my PSLF form had been processed
- January 23, 2026 I received what I believe you all call the “Golden Letter” from StudentAid confirming my eligibility for forgiveness, with an effective date of December 31, 2025 (I believe this means I should be refunded the payment I made in mid-January, as I did not request forbearance)
As of today, January 26, when I login to MOHELA, it shows my balances as $0. I’m just waiting for the same to show when I login to StudentAid.
* I would’ve hit 120 payments 3-4 months sooner had Buy Back worked. I submitted for that in October 2025 and never heard a thing. Two of the months I wanted to buy back were from the summer of 2024 when I was apparently put in forbearance unbeknownst to me.
This is over $300k in law school debt that I have now been forgiven so right now I’m not too salty about the forbearance I didn’t request and the buy back not working — just thrilled that I am home free!
Good luck to everyone else who’s still waiting!!

"Who starts a war on Friday?!?!? You got motherfcukers that had plans to get their dyck wet and you want to start a war?!?!?! BYTCH I HAD PLANS!!!!! ALL WEEEK this broads been talking shyt and now I got to do this shyt?!?!?! Maaaan, FCUK YOU!!! Do this shyt on a Monday at the latest a Wednesday!"

They say "intercepted". But Russia don't care they could have done this shyt over a phone call with the boldness that they have with the Trump administration.
