He Was Feeding Them the Coordinates

While Trump was busy telling anyone who would listen that he and Putin had a great relationship and were “closer than ever” to a deal, Putin was literally feeding Iran the GPS coordinates of American warships and aircraft so they could shoot at them.

yep.

According to three officials who spoke to the Washington Post, Russia has been passing Iran the locations of U.S. military targets in the Middle East since the war with Iran. Not vague support. Not diplomatic cover. Actual targeting data – where the ships are, where the planes are – handed over to the country currently firing drones and missiles at our troops.

One official described it as “a fairly comprehensive effort.” Comprehensive. For the country whose leader Donald Trump has spent the better part of two years treating like a potential business partner.

This is the same Putin who got Trump to spend months pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that Russia’s own negotiators privately pushed as a “wish list.” The same Putin who smiled and agreed to various ceasefire gestures while continuing to bomb Ukrainian civilians and never actually stopping the war. Trump’s team was so eager to please him that one of his envoys, Steve Witkoff, reportedly coached a Putin aide on how to pitch the deal to Trump. Coached him. On how to talk to Trump. And now we find out that Putin is also moonlighting as Iran’s intelligence service.

Six American soldiers are dead. Army reservists from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Florida, California – Capt. Cody Khork, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Tietjens, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, Sgt. Declan Coady, Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien, and Chief Warrant Officer Robert Marzan. They were killed on March 1st when an Iranian drone hit their operations center at a civilian port in Kuwait. No overhead protection. No drone defense system on site. Some of them had been moved off the main base the week before because the military thought dispersing them would be safer. The drone found them anyway.

You wanna guess how?

Iran’s own ability to locate American forces had been degraded since the start of the operation, according to officials. Someone was filling that gap. Russia has years of battlefield targeting experience from Ukraine – they’ve spent three years refining exactly this kind of intelligence work. And as one Carnegie Endowment expert noted, Iran’s strikes have been showing “a notable level of precision,” going after command and control infrastructure in a way that wasn’t typical before this week.

If you’re keeping score: Trump launched a war on Iran without a congressional declaration, without a formal vote, without telling the American people what the endgame looks like – and his guy in the Kremlin, the one he’s been lavishing with diplomatic goodwill for two years, is quietly helping the other side kill our troops.

There’s a bipartisan War Powers Resolution that would have required Trump to get congressional approval before continuing military action in Iran. It failed in the House Wednesday by seven votes – 212 to 219. A similar resolution failed in the Senate. Most Republicans voted to let Trump keep doing whatever he wants.

House Speaker Mike Johnson stood in front of cameras and said “we’re not at war right now,” which is an impressive thing to say out loud when six Americans are in body bags and many are saying they are currently hiding more casualties.

Trump will not say anything about Russia doing this. He won’t sanction them. He won’t confront Putin. He will not even acknowledge the obvious conflict between “Putin is my guy and we’re doing deals” and “Putin is helping Iran kill Americans.”

The people who told you Trump would be tougher on our adversaries than the last guy – the people who said he was a dealmaker, a hardass, a guy who commanded respect on the world stage – are very quiet right now.
