So those Shahed drones sent to Russia weren’t active participation then?
This is what fucks me off about the war Israel/USA vs Iran. Its all well and good being critical of America, what theyre doing is illegal, fucked up and moronic.
But don’t ever forget that Iran is a despotic, theocratical regime that only last month murdered thousands of its own civilians who tried to speak out.
Both sides in this war are shits.
I’ve no support for Iran, but if you’re going to mention how awful a state is who murders thousands of people, well then, Israel is even worse. Not only higher numbers but a genocide to boot.
Ukraine has consistently supported Israels actions, which I guess it was for material support.
Let’s not forget that the USA and Israel started this illegal war.
There are no good guys in any of this, we can agree.
Edit: dropped “the” from Ukraine as apparently its a Russian dog whistle. Never knew that, sorry.
Coming from an anarchist perspective, there’s nothing to be confused about here.
Every state is evil and shitty, and they should all be abolished. (But especially states that invade other states and kill their people.)
why would the Ukraine attack another country while already at war with russia? Not like they’d want to fight two battles.
the Ukraine
It’s just Ukraine.
‘The Ukraine’ is a Russian dogwhistle.
Not necessarily true, the Ukraine is also acceptable in British English and other languages put a definite article in front of Ukraine, if you are translating to English as a second language
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine
Ukraine is one of a few English country names traditionally used with the definite article the.[3] Use of the article was standard before Ukrainian independence, but has decreased since the 1990s.[4][5][59] For example, the Associated Press dropped the article “the” on 3 December 1991.[5] Use of the definite article was criticised as suggesting a non-sovereign territory, much like “the Lebanon” referred to the region before its independence, or as one might refer to “the Midwest”, a region of the United States.[60][61][62][f]
In 1993, the Ukrainian government explicitly requested that, in linguistic agreement with countries and not regions,[65] the Russian preposition в, v, be used instead of на, na,[66] and in 2012, the Ukrainian embassy in London further stated that it is politically and grammatically incorrect to use a definite article with Ukraine.[3] Use of Ukraine without the definite article has since become commonplace in journalism and diplomacy (examples are the style guides of The Guardian[67] and The Times[68]). According to U.S. ambassador William Taylor, “The Ukraine” implies disregard for the country’s sovereignty.[69] The Ukrainian position is that the usage of “The Ukraine” is incorrect both grammatically and politically.[3]
