Russia and Iran becoming allies

Submitted by gjohnsit on Wed, 07/27/2022 - 2:27pm

We are all familiar with the close ties between Russia and China, if only because they are both being threatened by the U.S. and NATO. So it shouldn't be a surprise that Iran, also under threat by the U.S. and UK, would eventually become allied with Russia.

Sorry for the late OT post. Been really busy preparing for the coming heat wave hitting the PNW. I'm sure many of you are suffering your own temperature extremes and I wish you cool relief.

All the govt ever does is lie lie lie and it's OK as none of them ever go to jail
or are ever held accountable for the lies. Over a million people died and countless
others have who knows what happening to them....it's beyond criminal, it's pure evil.

A couple of articles showed up in this morning's headlines regarding the government's efforts
to downplay recession fears. Because politics.

A traditional definition of economic recession:
Two straight quarters of economic contraction is typically viewed as a recession.

The GDP report is scheduled for release on Thursday and, following first-quarter contraction at an annual rate of 1.6%, the latest data may confirm that the economy is shrinking.
