The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”

Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.

    No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

    Iran has been planning this war for decades… They’d have to be total fools to think it wouldn’t be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that

      Well, for one, Russia also had years, and did in fact take years, to plan the invasion in Ukraine. That didn’t turn out too great. And secondly, no matter how good your plan is, if all of your oil export infrastructure is that concentrated, it is at risk.

        It was the other way around, the west planned and supplied their ukro- proxies.
        They broke all the Misk accords etc…
        You clearly know as little about Iran as you do about ex-ukraine

        Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

        The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

        Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

            Are you stupid? Russia lost because they kicked a snowball that turned out to be a rock.

              Right, like you said, Russia lost by winning too slowly. Maybe Ukraine can still win by surrendering quickly. It’s all coming together baby!!!

                  If it is any comfort, you will certainly believe it without any evidence, and who am I to interfere with your efforts to divine the world’s affairs? Russia lost the war already, and I’m a disenfranchised bum. Unrelated:

                    Do you even know what you’re trying to say? Because I sure as hell have no idea what your positions are, you haven’t made them. I made mine, and if you could read you’d probably agree with them

                    Also I do know you’re using two accounts, because the votes are too even and no second person on earth has any idea what you’re on about

            Almost like you guys completely fail to understand that it is indeed possible to lose by “winning too slowly”. War is expensive and the longer it goes on the more it is crippling Russia’s economy.

            If you are paying attention to this war as we enter its 5th year, Russia’s front line isn’t doing too well at the minute, especially so since Russia’s starlink access and messaging services have been cut off. Russia is currently moving troops around to try and plug holes in their leaky front line.

              Almost like you guys need to start engaging with reality

              Russian economy is booming according to the World Bank which reclassified Russia as a high income country https://blogs.worldbank.org/en/opendata/world-bank-country-classifications-by-income-level-for-2024-2025

              Meanwhile, the IMF forecasts that Russian economy is set to grow faster than all the western economies https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/17/russia-forecast-to-grow-faster-than-advanced-economies-in-2024-imf.html

              It’s almost like you don’t understand that the western fascists lost the war of attrition against Russia.

                Dude, both of those articles you linked are 2 years old now. 2 years might as well be 2 decades in terms of how quickly things change when a country is at war. You are seriously trying to sell me an article about Russia’s GDP growth in 2024 in 2026. You need to refresh your propaganda home screen comrade.

                I love your definitive statement at the end to wrap it all up. It’s like you’ve been in a coma for the last 2 years.

                It’s almost like you don’t understand that the western fascists lost the war of attrition against Russia.

                Cute…

                Now let’s talk about Russia’s current leaky front line that is happening right now in 2026. Or how about how Ukraine seems to be taking out an air defense system every day now. It’s starting to look really bad for Russia out there, beginning of the end hopefully.

                  Feel free to show that anything is different today. Meanwhile, given what’s happening with energy prices even the dimmest libs should be able to realize Russian economy is going to get a boost this year.

                  Meanwhile, why would we talk about imaginary things that are only happening in your head?

                  Instead, we can talk about how European economies are collapsing.

                    Feel free to show that anything is different today

                    Easy, economic growth dropped from 4.3% in 2024 to 1% in 2025. This is all the more significant because the 2024 GDP was primarily fueled by spending from Russia’s now almost depleted sovereign wealth fund. There are no long term economic benefits to spending your wealth on things that blow up. Now the money is gone, $600 billion wasted on this war, not to mention all of the lost economic benefits when Russia chose to cut itself off from the richest half of the world, genius level move here. The Russian public are still enjoying persistent high inflation and high interest rates with businesses closing at an ever increasing rate as Russian banks struggle with the black hole these defaults are causing their balance sheets.

                    Meanwhile, given what’s happening with energy prices even the dimmest libs should be able to realize Russian economy is going to get a boost this year.

                    Russia’s economy has taken a pounding recently with oil prices barely covering the coat to extract, transport and discount. Even with the current high oil prices Russia are still losing money daily, this will just extend Russia’s pain and delays the inevitable. I thought dim libs were on the Russian side here, the typical low IQ tankie crowd who use similar talking points to yourself.

                    Meanwhile, why would we talk about imaginary things that are only happening in your head?

                    You clearly aren’t paying attention to the conflict if you don’t understand the trouble Russia is currently in. I follow the Russian milibloggers closely as they actually understand what is going on and they are all going crazy right now. You should probably have a look.

              Any day now it’s going to crumble!
              Quick sanction round 547!
              Gee, our EU economy seems to uncompetitive and tanking due to the very expensive USSA and QAtar gas we have to buy because the terrorists blew up Nordstream and these sanctions. How could that be?!

              But hey Russia, we’re also having a problem due to murdering children somewhere else now, can you please sell us some oil?
              It’s OK now, we’re totally not opportunistic hypocrites and we’ll go right back to sanctioning and funding the ukrofascists so they can kill you and themselves for our US masters, thank you.
