That's just propaganda

This you?

The flu alone kills more people each day on average than the total casualties of the Iran war. So I guess there is never a time that anyone can ever state true and correct facts, because people are always dying.

"Ok we're bombing schools but have you thought of all the people getting cancer?".

It maybe true, but it truely shows where your priorities are. Dead civilians? No body cares. Putin making a bit more money? Real shit.

Did I say nobody cares or that it is not important? No, I did not. The topic being discussed is "beneficiaries of the Iran War". It is interesting that you don't take issue with the priorities of the OP, who is falsely defending Russia, but instead take issue with my priorities, when I state that the OP is factually incorrect, despite the fact that the OP is the one who has chosen to speak about beneficiaries of the war instead of the tragedies of civilian deaths.

His defense is factually incorrect.

Since you'd like to open the discussion up to topics beyond the beneficiaries of the war in Iran:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_war_(2022%E2%80%93present)

An investigation by AP from the end of 2022 estimated up to 75,000 killed civilians in the Mariupol area alone.

The Russian military and authorities have been responsible for deliberate attacks against civilian targets (including strikes on hospitals and on the energy grid), massacres of civilians, abduction and torture of civilians, sexual violence, forced deportation of civilians, and torture and murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Thoughts?

How can they primarily benefits from the Iran war when AMERICA started the Iran war. It's all a conspiration isn'it, bozo?

Because both Iran and Russia are major oil producers, and the Iran war is disrupting oil supply from Iran, which allows Russia to sell more oil and at a higher price, at a time when they desperately needed to do so.

Russia's economy is almost entirely dependent on exporting oil, they don't really have much else going for them economically, and they started an illegal invasion war (that they are embarrassingly losing) while actively committing a genocide against the Ukranian people, so their oil is heavily sanctioned and can't be sold to most of the world. What little they could sell, they had to sell cheap.

The Iran war is a gift to Russia, saving them from economic collapse. The oil supply is so disrupted that sanctions are now being lifted on Russia, despite the fact that they are still genociding Ukrainians.

You're so concerned about civilians, where is your outrage for the Ukrainian civilians that are targeted victims of Russia's illegal war and genocide?

You're so concerned about ukrainians but we didn't hear you during the genocide going on in western low pachikistan. Curious isn't it?

I denounce all genocide. Can't denounce Russia? Gee I wonder why that might be. Like it hasn't been totally obvious this whole discussion... Your loyalties and hypocrisy are showing.
