Foreign Policy: Iran Is Now at War With Ukraine 

Tehran has taken its fight against the West to Europe. 

For the first time, Iran is involved in a major war on the European continent. Iranian military advisors, most likely members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, are on the ground in occupied Ukraine—and possibly Belarus—to help Russia rain down deadly Iranian kamikaze drones on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure. According to an Israeli news report citing a Ukrainian official, 10 Iranians have already been killed in a Ukrainian attack on Russian positions. Tehran is now preparing to up the ante by providing Russia not only with potentially thousands of additional drones but also, for the first time, with two types of Iranian-made ballistic missiles to supplement Russia’s own dwindling stocks.

WNU Editor: According to Foreign Policy. Since Iran is supplying drones and technical/operational assistance to Russia to attack Ukraine, they are at war with Ukraine. 

Using this same logic. Since the US is supplying military equipment, intelligence, and I am willing to bet on the ground advisers to assist Ukraine in its attacks on Russian forces, does this mean that the US is now at war with Russia? 

According to the logic of the above FP article, the answer is yes.

"...According to an Israeli news report citing a Ukrainian official..."

The Ghost of Tehran strikes again.

The drones are in fact Russian made Geranium class vehicles, not Iranian Shaheds. This is plainly obvious in the hundreds of freeze frames we've now seen of the drones before impact.

The opportunity to co-opt the current frenzied western hatred against Russia to paint an old foe with the same brush is just too appetizing. An easy PR win for Israel and no "journalist" has to actually put their name on the claims and risk their personal credibility.

And, of course, if you do go to the originating JP article you will find it attributed simply to the "Jerusalem Post Staff". The same old trick that was used to push the most absurd Russiagate conspiracies circulated in the media from 2016-2020.

Only reason your wrong is because Russian troops are on Ukrainian soil, so US and Allies are helping to defend Ukraine on their soil…not attack Russia on theirs… big difference

If those are Russian made vehicles, then Russia is in bigger trouble than thought.

Consider this. If Ukraine is not conquered, they will be trained. They will be well trained in fact. Think along the lines of that which does not kill you makes you stronger. They will be viciously anti-Russian. The Russians have trained everyone from the Finns to the Poles to the Ukrainians and down to the Romanians to be ardently anti-Russian.

Meanwhile Russia is facing a diaspora of the unwilling. that is those people unwilling to d the bidding of the half cocked, unscrupulous and lazy oligarchs. One cold make un flattering comparisons between the oligarchs and Joe Biden or Kamala.

Fred is back.

Fred could you sentence diagram Kamals's word salad? I think not. Somehow I think the basic skill of diagramming sentences is a skill you lost many, many decades ago, if you ever had it.

Kamala's word salad is so bad I wonder how she graduated high school, college and law school. All I can come up with is laziness and social promotion. No one ever expected work out of here. I mean unless Kamala has dementia in her 50s.

Riddle me this. How does a person with kamala's education, professional achievement and looks stay unmarried?

Kamal in her 20s or 30s was exceedingly hot. As a biracial woman, the mixed parentage made her all the hotter. Yet, no boyfriend. Why? People do not want sloppy ...

Biden is too stupid to realize that refineries are important. He is so stupid that he thinks if Saudi Arabia just open up the spigots to get him across the mid term finish line, it would be a win. Maybe Ron Klain should tell Biden that Saudi oil in any quantity is not enough, because it needs to be refined. Maybe someone should give Ron Klain a clue that oil needs to be refined.

Does anyone in the White House know that oil needs to be refined. Have anyone of them ever seen a cracking tower or knew what it was, if they saw one?


Fred you did see the post in the last 24 hours aby WNU about refinery problems? Or did you gloss over it, because it is not important in your edumacated opinion? Maybe you did not realize its importance?
