Please explain to me how Putin giving Iran info that could harm U.S. troops is NOT an act ot war on his part

I know, I know, we need to dance around Putin because he has nukes. I get it.

So, we just let him piss all over the USA and tell ourselves it's raining? Any other options?

Russia gave Iran information that could harm U.S. forces, officials say
But officials tell MS NOW that U.S. intelligence agencies have not found evidence that Moscow is directing Iran’s operations.

I wonder if the information Putin is giving Iran is the same information that Trump sold him out of the basement.

His intentions would be protecting capital, the transfer of goods, and appeasing the gods of private equity. These are the very same reasons the US initiates war, so no one anywhere, anytime, is going to find anyone guilty of a war crime

NATO gave info, strategies, etc. to Ukraine. If we didn't, then Putin would have been walking in Kiev if a few weeks. So, they are repaying the favor.

They aren't called proxy wars for nothing.

But the U.S. gives weapons and intelligence to Ukraine. Just saying. All is fair in love and war. To the center of your question, Trump does not care about our troops. He does not look at them as living breathing humans. They're play things to him. I'll be making a post about that in a day or two. It's been on my mind and your post just motivated me. Thanks Miles. Take care.
