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.

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.

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.

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.

Said the troll while having zero self awareness.

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/

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