    This behavior makes sense for Zelensky, who is strongly pro-Israel, but I don’t think this is in Ukraine’s best interest. I really hate how many people have died in the Russia-Ukraine war and this will only serve to lengthen it. Imagine getting drafted to go fight Iran.

      Your comment seems unrelated to the article?

        That Ukraine is taking frontline needed anti-drone resources to protect 3rd parties in a war it is not involved in?

        What part of their comment seems unrelated?

          It got involved because it was Iran who supplied Shahed drones to Russia and Russia in turn supplies upgraded drones and other weapons to Iran. Pressure on Iran means to pressure on Russia and the reverse is also true.

      Yeah, pretty sad situation especially if you have some empathy for those who don't want to fight but got tricked by their governments. Imagine you're 18 again and you have your plans to study in University, but instead the government which should serve the people (ha) sends you to die for a piece of land and to keep their leader positions.

      In the end those wars are just a power and influence games for the ruling class.

      Sometimes I think if the world would be better if instead of ~200 counties we had only ~10? But how to unite counties? People can agree to unite, but no one from the ruling class will agree to lose the power. So we are back to the war theme, because the war is the easiest way to unite pieces of land, but how to unite people? No idea, but... but we can find a new common enemy!
