I’m not sure Putin is that happy. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want regime change in Iran, and he’s still dealing with the fallout from Assad being deposed in Syria. If he wasn’t involved in Ukraine we’d probably have a better idea of where he stands.

Putin is overjoyed - what could be better for him personally than the US entering ANOTHER Middle East war?

The price of oil will skyrocket if Iran closes the straight of Hormuz - that’s money in his pocket.

Perhaps Germany comes back to him for their oil, breaking European support for Ukraine.

The US attention will turn towards the Middle East and away from Ukraine.

But mostly he just loves watching the US humiliate and embarrass itself on the world stage.
