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.

Hmmm, I wonder how Ukraine ever managed to become so proficient in shooting down Iranian drones, years before anyone else?
Ukraine is sending soldiers with their drones.

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.

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.

You can’t use the term genocidal ethnostate for any country you don’t like. Pick up a dictionary, mate.
Sure, so that ethnic minorities in Russia have faced disproportionat military conscriptions and sent to the front as meat waves are just coincidence then.
Ethnostates, known for their large number of ethnic minorities

A number shrinking by each and every year.

Russian minorities make up ~20%

Israeli minorities make up ~18%

Not exactly a large difference.

So what’s the percentage where a country becomes an ethnostate?

I dont think there’s an exact percentage. But rather distribution of power among the government and civilians. Who has power and influence? How is that power and influence used?

The classic hallmarks of an ethnostate would be to keep most if not all power among your ethnicity of choice, and systematically suppress minorities, their rights and influence, and work towards their active reduction, a common method seems to be genocide.

Something I think it’s clear both Israel and Russia have been doing for a long time.

Ok, so you bringing up percentages was just deliberately wasting time

It was to show that Russia and Israel have similar numbers of minorities (per capita) after you made the comment that russia has so many of them.

you were so adamant that Israel is an ethnostate but not Russia. But they both have similar numbers of minorities, they both have a long history of suppressing minorities and actual genocides against said minorities and/or the ethnic groups said minorities belong to.

So please. Tell me what why Israel is an ethnostate but not Russia?
