SepiaWithout a hint of irony, Russia mocks US for 'miscalculating' Iran war
BrikoXIt’s funny that Ukraine is exposing their own hypocrisy here too. They are defending their own sovereignty against Russia’s aggression yet they support US and Israel aggression over Iran defending their own sovereignty.
Brave Little Hitachi WandThe waters are a little muddier than that, since Iranian weapons have been hitting Ukraine for ages. There’s not much hypocrisy to be had there, it’s just sad.
Nothing is muddy about sovereignty. You either respect it or not. Everything else is just excuses to justify violating it.
𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚒𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗 𝙼𝚎𝚘𝚠Iran doesn’t respect Ukraine’s sovereignty, so Ukraine doesn’t respect Iran’s. Simple as.
Why exactly does Ukraine have so much experience shooting down Shahed drones?
Iran has been producing the munitions that have been raining on them for 4 years.
I’m going to be real with you, I see no difference between the USA sending Israel munitions to fire on Gaza and Iran sending them to Russia to fire at Ukraine. Either you need to tell me with a straight face that the USA respects Palestinian sovereignty or you need to accept that Iran doesn’t respect the sovereignty of Ukraine.
I see no difference between the USA sending Israel munitions to fire on Gaza and Iran sending them to Russia to fire at Ukraine.
There isn’t one from sovereignty perspective. Neither US or Iran selling weapons has anything to do sovereignty.
It has to do with which party is the aggressor and should countries use it as leverage for peace. US didn’t commit a genocide in Gaza, they just supported it. Same way, Iran didn’t attacked Ukraine, but they do support it. Israel and Russia are the aggressors who are breaching sovereignty.
Also, if we would remove sanctions from Iran, they could sell those drones to Ukraine or Europe too. Now they are forced to trade with other countries that are already sactioned by US and wouldn’t be affected by sactions.
Ah, so by your measure Iran providing an eye watering amount of munitions to Russia to attack Ukraine is ultimately the fault of the USA?
I must be, because no matter how many times I read your last paragraph, no matter the charity I afford, I can’t comprehend and alternative interpretation of your last paragraph. Iran is “FORCED” to sell munitions to Russia. The if clause sets the precondition of that as being the sanctions imposed on them.
If you didn’t intend to imply they don’t have a choice (forced) or that the precondition isn’t the sanctions imposed by the USA, you could absolutely take another shot at formulating your thoughts.
I’d say I’d be happy to read them, but based on the aggressiveness of your reply I really am not anticipating I will.
