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.

    Russia has lost over 1 million soldiers. Before the war they were already facing the consequences of years of low birth rate and very low immigration. Add to that before the war their economy was 80% of the Canadian economy with over 100 million more people. Low productivity, combined with population crunch, combined with resources wasted on war, combined with low immigration and no chance to improve that leads to economic collapse.

      Correct. Over time that amounts to a lot. If Russia hadn’t used zerg rush tactics for more than a century, their population would be far more than the roughly 140 million they have now. The economic and scientific difference between what could have been and what is, is astronomical.
