Make it Make Sense - The Incoherence and Treachery of Trump Policies! - Silicon Curtain

Silicon Bites Ep302 | 2026-03-15 | Make it make sense. Iran helped Russia attack Ukraine, but Russia is also providing data to Iran to target U.S. military assets in its confrontation with Iran. Yet Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russia. None of it makes sense, unless we accept that Trump is acting to benefit Russia, whether he is fully conscious of that or not. I’m inclined to believe he knows what he’s doing, when he makes decisions that provide strategic advantage to Vladimir Putin.

As the war evolved against Ukraine, Russia absorbed drone technology from Iran, the infamous Shaheed, scaled production, and according to Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now supplying Shahed drones back to Iran for use against the United States and Israel. Reuters, quoting Zelenskyy’s CNN interview broadcast on March 15, says he called it “100% facts” that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheeds against U.S. bases. Reuters also added an important caveat: not every Shahed used in the region can be cleanly attributed from public evidence, and the exact manufacturer is not always clear. The strongest version of the claim is this: Zelenskyy says Russia is now feeding the very drone ecosystem that Iran once fed into Russia’s war on Ukraine. (Reuters)

Reports are coming out today even, that claim China is manufacturing drones for use by both Russia and Iran. This is the axis of authoritarians in full alignment on this issue at least. That is one of many grotesque inversions, in an episode where we struggle to make sense of it all.
