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.

    Mainstream financial publications like the cccp owned Global Times News.

    Yeah, you’ve been see see pee owned alright. Financial publications like Bloomberg and Financial times. Also, love how you’re dumb enough to think your oligarch owned media isn’t propaganda bud.

    This is likely your problem, the mainstream media is brain rot, nobody reads it anymore which is why they are not doing well financially. I also dislike when people use “literally” when it is not appropriate in the sentence. It makes me feel like I’m talking to a poorly educated teenager.

    Yup, them telegram channels sure know better. Also, don’t give a shit what an ignoramus likes or dislikes. You’re literally clueless.

    Financing Ukraine in this war is a drop in the economic bucket, remember the EU economy is 10 times the size of the Russian one. If it is hurting the EU imagine what it’s doing to Russia. There are other reasons for the sluggish EU growth but this is not the forum for that.

    Ah yes, that’s why the EU is now struggling to approve another 90 billion for the proxy war.

    Again with your mainstream media, you need to get off Fox news grandpa and get with the 21st century.

    Show me a single fox article I linked lying little shit.

    I will pay it happily if it keeps the Russian hordes in Mordor. On a more positive note I have found my European holidays more enjoyable for the same reason.

    How to say you’re a racist little fash without saying it.

    You should be more careful about the sources you chose to post, unverified slop like this site makes you look like a bad actor.

    Says the imbecile who gets all his information on telegram.

    You then seem to think that Russia won’t collapse because America spends more money than Russia on defence.

    Nope, that’s just you having reading comprehension of a squirrel on meth. What I actually said was that military spending in Russia accounts for a small part of the overall economy, and that Russian industry has actually been growing to fill the niches left by western companies leaving. I also provided actual sources that aren’t telegram channels explaining this.

    The USA are also only spending about 3% of GDP on this war

    The USA is spending on maintaining over 800 military bases all over the globe, and that sure costs more than 3% of the GDP.

    China is by far the bigger player in Sino-Russian relations.

    You seem to be under the impression that I think it would be a bad thing for China to have more influence over Russia.

    Ah so a war of attrition is one where Russia struggles to take ground against their much smaller neighbor for 4 years while their economy goes down the toilet. I was such a fool, I get it now!

    Wars of attrition aren’t about taking ground, but clearly you lack cognitive capacity to get that through that thick skull of yours. Russian goal is the destruction of the AFU, and as the site linked which actually explains its methodology shows, that goal is progressing steadily. Once the AFU collapses, Russia can take any and all territory it wants. Just as it happened during WW2 when the front was static for whole four years and then the Soviet army marched on Berlin in months. But I guess they didn’t teach you history at the clown school you went to.

    Russian media ban is because RT is just a propaganda network, why would Europe let Russia beam propaganda in when fighting a proxy war, this is a no brainer and Russia does the exact same thing.

    That’s right, can only see wholesome domestic propaganda.

    You can see your projection from the moon dude!

    Cope harder loser.

    I know right? This is why Russia is doing it and Ukraine is not, your words homie. I do love our little chats.

    The same Ukraine which banned all independent media and opposition parties. Just how dumb are you exactly?

    You really must have a fetish for public humiliation, that’s the only reason I can think of why you’re still in this thread. Can’t wait to see what new drivel you’ll spew next.

      Also, love how you’re dumb enough to think your oligarch owned media isn’t propaganda bud.

      I literally say “mainstream media is brain rot” where you yourself quoted me directly below where you say this statement. Your reading comprehension is so bad I’m sure they have a category in the Special Olympics for people like you.

      Ah yes, that’s why the EU is now struggling to approve another 90 billion for the proxy war.

      But that was approved.

      Show me a single fox article I linked lying little shit.

      Whoosh! This one obviously went right over your head. It’s a term of phrase for people who get all their news from mainstream media, usually older people.

      that Russian industry has actually been growing to fill the niches left by western companies leaving.

      Russian industry outside of the mitary industrial estate complex is shrinking. Russia has not miraculously created a successful perfect “juche” economy in 4 years, they have just become dependent on China for all the things they used to buy from Europe, USA and the allies sanctioning Russia. Have a look at North Korea for Russia’s future.

      What I actually said was that military spending in Russia accounts for a small part of the overall economy

      40% of all government spending on the military + the $100s of billions in loans to defence contractors from commercial banks + all of the able bodied men committed is not a small part of the economy by any description.

      Wars of attrition aren’t about taking ground, but clearly you lack cognitive capacity to get that through that thick skull of yours

      Laughable that Russia, the supposed second military in the world ended up in such a war on their border with Ukraine.

      Russian goal is the destruction of the AFU,

      No shit, you should give Russian command a call, they could really use you!

      and as the site linked which actually explains its methodology shows, that goal is progressing steadily.

      We can all find articles that fit our own confirmation bias.

      Once the AFU collapses, Russia can take any and all territory it wants

      There is no sign of this happening though. If anything Russian lines are looking pretty shakey at the minute.

      Just as it happened during WW2 when the front was static for whole four years and then the Soviet army marched on Berlin in months

      This war is nothing like WW2 though, it is much closer to ww1. The major difference between them and now is the drones and Ukraine’s drone game is currently better.

      You really must have a fetish for public humiliation

      I really don’t think anyone gives a shit to be reading all of the shite we just wrote, just us two idiots.

        I literally say “mainstream media is brain rot” where you yourself quoted me directly below where you say this statement.

        This dude gets all his information from conspiracy theory channels on telegram like a true intellectual.

        But that was approved.

        It was not, because the proxy war is going so great that there’s no unanimous agreement on funding it anymore.

        Russian industry outside of the mitary industrial estate complex is shrinking.

        The only thing shrinking here is your peanut sized brain.

        40% of all government spending on the military + the $100s of billions in loans to defence contractors from commercial banks + all of the able bodied men committed is not a small part of the economy by any description.

        Less than 8% of the overall economy but keep on braying.

        Laughable that Russia, the supposed second military in the world ended up in such a war on their border with Ukraine.

        It really is laughable how Europe managed to destroy itself in a war with Russia once again.

        We can all find articles that fit our own confirmation bias.

        Said the troll while having zero self awareness.

        There is no sign of this happening though. If anything Russian lines are looking pretty shakey at the minute.

        You should let Ukrainians know ASAP, seems like you have a better understanding of the war than they do https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/17/volodymyr-zelensky-london-starmer-remember-ukraine/

        This war is nothing like WW2 though, it is much closer to ww1. The major difference between them and now is the drones and Ukraine’s drone game is currently better.

        Ah yes, the guy who thinks that war of attrition is about territory is now lecturing on the distinction between WW1 and WW2.

          This dude gets all his information from conspiracy theory channels on telegram like a true intellectual.

          Can’t believe I’m getting shade from the dude who can’t even read the contradictions he wrote himself. Your argument style seems to involve attempting to insult your way out of the corners you back yourself into.

          It was not, because the proxy war is going so great that there’s no unanimous agreement on funding it anymore.

          It was agreed back in February, that Orban fella who previously agreed to the deal in December is now backing out and attempting to veto the deal. Luckily Orban is a lame duck, he will be gone on April 12th where he is predicted to lose the election by double digit points. So long to the fat Russian stooge.

          The only thing shrinking here is your peanut sized brain.

          Live in denial all you want but it is clear that there are two economies at the moment in Russia, the war economy and the civilian one. The civilian economy is currently being cannibalised to support the war economy. Sky high interest rates and persistent inflation have lead to businesses in Russia closing at an ever increasing rate.

          https://www.reuters.com/business/russia-many-restaurants-cafes-close-consumption-stalls-amid-major-slowdown-2026-02-19/

          Less than 8% of the overall economy but keep on braying.

          As you keep on ignoring all of the manpower committed to the war effort and hundreds of billions in equity given to the MIC. Even without that, 8% of GDP is absolutely significant. Keep huffing that copium, makes everything better I suppose.

          It really is laughable how Europe managed to destroy itself in a war with Russia once again.

          The same Europe that is yet to lose a man is somehow destroyed. Most of Europe has genuinely forgot the war is even happening. I haven’t heard it mentioned in years, people in Europe really don’t give a shit about the war any more and certainly haven’t noticed Europe “destroying itself”. Hilarious hyperbole.

          You should let Ukrainians know ASAP, seems like you have a better understanding of the war than they do

          The Telegraph is a right wing tabloid, they have consistently backed the Russian viewpoint in this war and have zero credibility. The article is also behind a pay wall, I am not going out of my way to read this article that I am sure you have not even read.

          Ah yes, the guy who thinks that war of attrition is about territory is now lecturing on the distinction between WW1 and WW2.

          If all else fails pull out a straw man eh buddy, much easier to fight than a real opponent. I just pointed out that Ukraine took back 10% of Russia’s 2025 gains in the last month. You then screamed that it was a war of attrition that I didn’t understand and that somehow losing territory is good for Russia? We’ve all been watching Russian soldiers being blown to bits in large groups for the last month. The only country attriting it’s troops en masse is Russia. This fundamental intellectual dishonesty is why Russia are going to lose this war. They can’t even be honest with themselves.
