    eh… I wouldn’t call russia “not an oligarchy.” I definitely wouldn’t call them part of the Axis of Resistance. They are fighting on the same side as the Axis of resistance but not because they had a choice.

      The Axis of Resistance didn’t choose their fate either. The only choice they made is to resist rather than submit, so the same as Russia.

        Putin chose to join the Western capitalist order and was rejected.

        Iran on the other hand secured their sovereignty in a revolution and was the only state that took military action against the genocide, which they could simply not do like all the other states.

        You can’t compare the two at all.

          Nobody is comparing them. They simply were pushed into a situation where they had to be part of this axis or die, just like the other countries within this resistance.
