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.
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
“Russia failed by winning the war too slowly”
It all makes sense…
Are you stupid? Russia lost because they kicked a snowball that turned out to be a rock.
I don’t know what the fuck you read, but it wasn’t my post
Right, like you said, Russia lost by winning too slowly. Maybe Ukraine can still win by surrendering quickly. It’s all coming together baby!!!
You must struggle a lot in life, so let’s just say you won this one. Good job, sport
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
Vote manipulating is stupid behavior since people can just turn them off, sort by new, and mods can see it, plus I don’t like making other people have meltdowns, which is the objective of dogpiling… I like swapping information tit-for-tat online but if it doesn’t work it’s time for goofs. Been trying to catch people at random in the hopes they don’t do this. I think reddit is just too much for some people. The point is that the country you are referring to as having lost the war is on the offensive, and I often post at work in defiance of the laws of gods and men. Can you at least try to be on topic instead of speculating about other people’s lives? Like I could probably report it but again I’m #notlikethat
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That’s a cool story bro, too bad it falls apart under even the barest scrutiny. First of all, Russian military spending is around 8% of the GDP. Anybody who didn’t fail math at school would quickly realize that it can’t be the major driver of the economy. Not only that, but being cut off from the west actually stimulated domestic industry revitalizing Russian rust belt. And of course, Russia is a major commodity exporter, the demand for these commodities hasn’t magically evaporated. So, none of the factors that were leading to growth of Russian economy in 2024 have changed today.
And of course, there’s the elephant in the room which is China. Much of the trade Russia lost with the west has been replaced in the east, largely by China. Anybody with a functioning brain understands that Russia losing the war would be a disastrous outcome for China, and hence if Russia was ever in genuine trouble, then China would simply invest in Russia further to stabilize the economy.
Russia cutting itself off from parasitic west has actually been a great move because now Russia trade with friendly countries, and domestic industry in Russia is finally developing.
Things that definitely happened in the real world and not in your deranged fantasies. 🤣

I base my opinions on geopolitics and economics on telegram channels, I’m very intelligent.
Meanwhile, here’s what you probably should have a look at. This is what an actual collapsing economy that’s overinvested in a war looks like

Maybe stick to subjects you actually have clue on, assuming such subjects actually exist, little dronie.
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.
