The Russian ambo. was shown meeting with Al-Burhan on Sudan TV. The geopolitical dimensions are appearing now. Does this mean the Russian base is back on? Will the UAE's DP Ports bid for Port Sudan go ahead? Bearing in mind the interest of Russian and Emarati firms in the gold. https://t.co/oGvMjzvOHJ

Iran's top priority in Afghanistan is to prevent civil war, especially since NATO & western countries have a long history of launching dirty wars in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon...

Turks will change things up for them but ultimately Ukraine, nor Turkey—
do not have the tech, numbers and juice to counter Russia from its own territory in EW.
