It is a strange phenomenon. Love being blind, immune from rhymes and reasons is the only way it can possibly be explained.

Why else would some Iranians close their eyes on all that Tsar Putin has been doing to Iran, like slashing Iran’s share of the Caspian Sea from %50 to as little as %11, using Iranian ground forces as his mercenaries in Syria to secure permanent Russian military basis on the Mediterranean shores and having Russian military bases inside Iran, etc ….and still keep mum about it?

Why would some Iranians get so agitated with Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel – whatever this recognition is suppose to achieve - and not a beep about Putin doing the same many months before him?

The only way it can be explained is some Iranians’ love for dear Tsar Putin.

Airtight sanctions, a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.

Ps. Tsar Putin is running for yet another term as “president” which after Stalin will make his ruling over Russia the longest in modern history.
