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.

      Sure, so that ethnic minorities in Russia have faced disproportionat military conscriptions and sent to the front as meat waves are just coincidence then.

        Meat waves

        Goebbels would be proud of the longevity of his bullshit. This is old nazi propaganda invented as cope to explain all the times they got outmaneuvered on the battlefield by the “Slavic untermenschen”.

          Except we have thousands of hours of footage today. What would you call it when people are sent to cross open fields only to be mowed down by drones and artillery. Time after time after time again?

          Was it cope from nazis? It’s entirely possible. Doesn’t make it untrue. And like I said. Today we have plenty of footage of it. Though if you want to call it something else that’s fine

            If we had “hours of footage” it would have aired on every single ww2 “documentary” i ever watched on History channel as a 12 year old. If we had “hours of footage”, you would link me even a minute of it. I bet you a thousand bucks than if you show me anything, you show me a regular-ass WW2 infantry attack with like, a line of guys moving forward under artillery cover.

              We have several hours of footage from the CURRENT war… of Russians being sent over fields, hit by drones and artillery. Once they’re all dead. Send in the next guys, their turn.

              I thought that would be obvious since they didn’t have drones in WW2.

          A number shrinking by each and every year.

          Russian minorities make up ~20%

          Israeli minorities make up ~18%

          Not exactly a large difference.

              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.

                  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?

      They saw it used to describe Israel and assumed its just a synonym for “bad”, because they have the political understanding of a 12 year old
