      Ukraine being within range of Iranian missiles and attacking Iranian ships while they’re not at war with Iran is newsworthy due to the implications of what this could very easily lead to.

        Iran has been supplying Russia for years; Ukraine might as well be at war with them. No sympathy for Iran.

          I wonder why Iran might have a favourable relationship with Russia over the client states of the power that has spent decades trying to destabilise and pillage them. I guess we’ll never know.

            Because they’re both authoritarian shitholes and sanctioned by most of the world?

              Most of the world (read The White supremacist western empire)

              The shah that they all supported was soooo much less authoritarian. Please grow up.

              “They’re the Bad Guy places and the Whole World™ (the white countries) hate them, which is how you know they’re Bad. It said so on the news.”

              You sound 9 years old dude. It’s so undignified to watch a person just bow down and hand corpo epstein media the studded leash to their entire brain. It’s uncomfortable in the same way as seeing someone lazily piss themselves in public: you’re supposed to be more capable than this. This comic book worldview we’re fed in the west really stunts people’s ability to reason.

                It’s okay, we feel the same way about you. Go back to huffing RT and other state-run propaganda networks.

              My guy, what you myopically see as “most of the world”—Europe, the Five Eyes states, and a few US vassals in Asia—are in the minority. They’re in the minority in terms of population, landmass, and natural resources.

              My brother in delusion, the so-called “most powerful military in the world” got chased out of the red sea by tiny, war ravaged Yemen and is currently getting owned by Iran. I think it’d work out for them pretty fuckin well for them considering they’re already wiping entire US bases off the map.

                Iran is definitely making an embarrassment of the US and allowing them to deplete their arsenal, but to say the US is getting owned and wiped out is a bit of a stretch. Call me when they manage to hit a single naval ship.

                  “Sure they’ve lost like a dozen bases and a whole bunch of irreplacable war, recon and logistics planes plus most of their reaper drones, but they still have their boats that catch fire and flood with shit”

                  The navy retreated from the red sea because it knew a ship hit was only a matter of time, and they had no defense against it. Same with Hormuz. The US keeps it’s fleets away from actual danger because they’re it’s military prestiege and mobile air power, but everyone in charge of one knows that one drone swarm or hypersonic salvo will turn it into a new coral reef.

      This is news. One, because every event in a war, including casualty must be reported. Two, this was a strike by country C when the war is between A and B.

      These countries aren’t at war so the behavior is unusual. It also exemplifies the relationship Ukraine has with the US and NATO.

      Not everyone knows the West uses all possible colonies/vassal states to wage war and there’s enough propaganda out there (despite the available information regarding the coup in Ukraine) to confuse the public about Ukraine.

      Are these words? People try to make sense when they use words, so they can’t be.
