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.

Sure, so that ethnic minorities in Russia have faced disproportionat military conscriptions and sent to the front as meat waves are just coincidence then.

Ethnostates, known for their large number of ethnic minorities

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works -5 points 3 days ago

A number shrinking by each and every year.

Russian minorities make up ~20%

Israeli minorities make up ~18%

Not exactly a large difference.

So what's the percentage where a country becomes an ethnostate?

Meat waves

Goebbels would be proud of the longevity of his bullshit. This is old nazi propaganda invented as cope to explain all the times they got outmaneuvered on the battlefield by the "Slavic untermenschen".

Except we have thousands of hours of footage today. What would you call it when people are sent to cross open fields only to be mowed down by drones and artillery. Time after time after time again?

Was it cope from nazis? It's entirely possible. Doesn't make it untrue. And like I said. Today we have plenty of footage of it. Though if you want to call it something else that's fine

If we had "hours of footage" it would have aired on every single ww2 "documentary" i ever watched on History channel as a 12 year old. If we had "hours of footage", you would link me even a minute of it. I bet you a thousand bucks than if you show me anything, you show me a regular-ass w22 infantry attacks with like, a line of guys moving forward under artillery cover.

We have several hours of footage from the CURRENT war... of Russians being sent over fields, hit by drones and artillery. Once they're all dead. Send in the next guys, their turn.

I thought that would be obvious since they didn't have drones in WW2.

That's called "an attack", and literally every faction does it. Curiously, only when Russians do it does it become a Sinister Russian Meatwave, despite the fact that there is never an actual wave because drone warfare makes mass movement suicidal and the current tactical meta is team and squad movements. Yeah, what a HUGE MEATWAVE. You're not just mindlessly repeating tropes at all.
