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.

    Ukraine is sending neither drones nor soldiers inside of Iran.

    Thousands of Iranian drones have landed into Ukrainian soil, though.

    Also are you telling me the Iranians sent the drones to Russia and just sent them flight instructions printed on an A4 paper instead of Iranian instructors…?

      Ukrainian soldiers are operating the drones to defend the genocidal ethnostate and the US bases bombing Iran. This is not giving instructions, this is participation in the war.

      Ironically Ukraine is sending soldiers and interceptors from their own frontlines. Guess they don’t need them more than Netanyahu.

        Iranian soldiers operated the drones sent by a demand of a genocidal ethnostate to bomb Ukraine. This is not giving instructions, this is participation in the war.

        Now, because of involvement of these chaps, Ukraine has a technology that is in high demand in the world, for whatever reason. It’s very single cellular to assume that the technology is not scalable, and that literally every person who can be involved in scaling of a technology must be digging trench somewhere in Donetsk.

          Funny that you think the Ukrainian startup model is scalable. Neither is the USonian drone program. Iran could kill every US soldier allegedly being deployed with a single drone each and it wouldn’t even cut into their stockpile.

            Israel and USA can go and fuck themselves with a bomb shaped dildo for all I care.

            But it’s they are not the only one committing genocide, and your mates from around here are making it very weird turning people suffering into genocide Olympics.

              Okay, so we can agree that Israel and the US are evil.

              So. What does it say about Ukraine that they are on the same side?

                This is not some comic book battle between good and evil, it is perfectly possible for both USA, Israel and Russia to be evil, they are all expansionist imperial entities currently engaging in imperial land grabs. I would say they are all evil.

                Ukraine and Iran were just minding their own business when the imperialists attacked. USA, Russia and Israel are all on the same shitty side of the coin. The rest of the world hates the lot of them.

                  It’s impossible to fight the entire world all at once. I say we choose the lesser evil.

                  It’s how you vote anyway, right? Why not just apply that on a larger scale?

                    Your comment implies that it is a binary choice. Lesser evil between the USA, Israel and Russia is a difficult shout, there is a cigarette paper between the three.

                    The three are also not the same, the USA is a far bigger threat to the world due to its military and financial might. Russia and Israel are not eating at the same table. It could probably be argued that they have the most twisted world views of the players here and I am very glad they are not in the conversation. China and the EU are the only other potentially global players. The EU are the USA’s yes men who have been greatly upset to recently be told this reality to their face. China look to be an alternative but when you peel back the veneer they are closer to the USA in their set up than most people would care to admit.

                    The lesser evil one is a difficult argument to make, do you believe if either Israel or Russia occupied the USA’s position as global hegemon that they would be better or worse?

                  Ukraine had a fascist coup and their government was literally chosen by the US imperialists.
                  After that they started killing 14000 ethnic Russians in the east who wanted nothing to do with these nazis.
                  It’s perfectly possible for all the parties to be evil.
                  Many things wrong with Putin, imperialism is not one of them.
                  Pretty hard to mind your own business when NATO keeps expanding and they would’ve placed nukes on their border, too close to defend against.
                  How would the US like it if Russia couped Mexico and put nukes in Tijuana?

                    Ukraine had a fascist coup

                    I must have missed that one, maybe one man’s popular revolution is another man’s fascist coup. The numbers who participated in the protests turned revolution in Ukraine in 2014 are estimated at between 400,000-800,000.

                    You call it a fascist coup but how come power has peacefully and democratically changed hands 3 times since? Doesn’t really make sense now does it buddy? Now, how many times has power changed hands in Russia in the same timeframe?

                    You are peddling the same tired talking points from 4 years ago, even Putin and his stooges have stopped using them because they sound ridiculous. The biggest cause of NATO expansion is Russia’s belligerence, where it not for this war, Finland and Sweden would never have joined NATO.

                    Many things wrong with Putin, imperialism is not one of them.

                    Just because his imperialism doesn’t bother you it doesn’t make his imperialism ok, I am definitely against it.

          Russia is not a genocidal ethnostate. Go look at the percentage of civilian casualties in the Ukraine war and the percentage in Gaza and then learn what terms mean. Russia does commit “war crimes” (whatever that word means nowadays) but they are most certainly not committing genocide.

        A reasonable person would assume that Ukraine sending small teams over is meant to encourage, or pay back favours in terms of support in their defence against a forgein invading genocidal ethnostate. On top of wanting to help deal with Iran seeing as Iranian drones have been bombing them for years now.

        So what exactly is ironic? It’s very much in their best interest that Iran can no longer supply Russia with drones.
