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?

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 weeks ago

Ukraine is sending soldiers with their drones.

[-] Zer0_F0x@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

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...?

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[-] Verdorrterpunkt@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

Well they have been force-adopting ukranian chilfren into Russia, no? I am sure i read something about that. Not as cruel but still genocide i guess?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 weeks ago

Not really, that was a hoax, Russia asked Ukraine for list of names, Ukraine provided 339 names of which 166 was immediately found living with their parents in Germany. And even if we assume all the rest are really unaccounted for, this only points how low civilian losses are in that war, something unthinkable looking at American or Israeli wars.

Keep children in a safe place during war is much better than keeping them among military targets and bombing them.

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago

Talking about a genocidal ethnostate is pretty rich in a thread defending Israel and its allies

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.

[-] liuther9@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Zelensky supports nazis and child fukers and child killers. Means in retrograde it was a right choice by Iran

[-] lithiumground@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

ethnostate

Zelensky is a zionist

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.

[-] BoJackHorseman@lemmy.today 11 points 2 weeks ago

You can't use the term genocidal ethnostate for any country you don't like. Pick up a dictionary, mate.

Don't ask how Iranian soldiers died in Ukraine in 2022 during a drone strike on a Russian position launching Shaheds

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 weeks ago

Um, they've been for the past few years. Fuck's sake Im having a hard time figuring out who the dumbest assholes in this war are.

[-] phx@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Right and who was or again supplying Russia with drones all this time... ah right

ANDDD..

Iranian drones blowing-up Ukraina didn't make Ukraina designate Iran as a legitimate war-target??

Iran ought now be a legit Ukrainian target, if that's Iran's position.

Ukraina's selling defensive drones, not assault ones, from what I've been seeing.

This is mere ideological-convenience/gaslighting, not accuracy-of-view.

Ukraine joined the sanctions on Iran in 2007 for the civilian nuclear program . Sanctions indirectly kill people. Zelensky want to save isrsel and the usa who do not only want to end the ergime but also commit gaza line genocide

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

Also, if anything, Iran has been involved in Russia's unjustified invasion into Ukraine, by giving Russia access to the Shahed drones to support the mentioned invasion.

Lol we found the line beyond which liberals side with the fascist kid-bombers, and that line is being against their favorite reddit nazi country

Nice thought terminating sequence, I guess now you don't have to address supporting a country which has AN OFFICIAL BATTALLION made entirely of nazis and national holidays, statues, and streets named for a ridiculous amount of nazis

No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

Iran has been planning this war for decades... They'd have to be total fools to think it wouldn't be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that
