Trump getting easily fooled
This is the thing where he announces something hoping it will make them play along to avoid the awkward. I don't believe it unless it's out of their mouths.
I'm sure Russia in particular would have absolutely no reason to retaliate asymmetrically against the west doing deep strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure right now.
Okay, so I've made my personal mantra that everything Drump says is a lie until someone actually proves it's right (note: this has actually never happened). This inevitably means whatever he says, the complete opposite is true. Therefore if he says China and Russia will not sell weapons to Iran, does this actually mean they are already selling them to Iran?
He's probably technically correct. I'm not aware of China, Russia or anyone else selling any weapons to Iran. But this is not due to some agreement with the US. Iran simply does not need to buy finished weapons. They can manufacture drones and rockets themselves. It is possible that they are buying electronics from China or certain chemicals from Russia, but those aren't 'weapons'.
Sure, like they haven't already done this.
No selling, just gifting.
"Trump says".
