Iranian lawmaker says Ukraine's drone support makes it a legitimate war target - Lemmy

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.

Oh, I bet it will go swimmingly for Iran to attack Ukraine. Don’t they have all their oil infrstructure concentrated on one island? Ukraine has been very effective in hitting Russian oil facilities.

Likewise, neofascists in the Russian Federation aren’t really benefiting from Western régimes’ support, but the same cannot be said about Ukrainian neofascists. That makes terminating Western support for Ukraine a more obvious step to take.

Predictably, Quacksalber responded by reminding us that the Ukrainian head of state is a token Jew, oblivious to the fact that Zelensky refuses to condemn Stepan Bandera and is doing nothing about Ukraine’s numerous commemorations of anti-Jewish politicians.
