Fake “Oref Alert” Texts Spread Malicious Links, Israel Warns. Death Toll Rises to Nine After Direct Hit on Bomb Shelter in Beit Shemesh, Emergency Service Says. Vessel Struck by Unknown Projectile Northwest of UAE's Mina Saqr, Maritime Security Agency Reports
First off there is support by European countries and the US for Ukraine, though I agree that the decision for giving up their nukes should have come with harder guarantees; second Ukraine wasn’t as connected to the EU or the US as Iran was to Russia.
Russia is in no way legally obliged to help, but we’ve already seen what happens if they are (with Armenia not officially withdrawn, but having stopped paying membership fees and not participating in the CSTO). Russia is projecting weakness and offers no incentive to align with them for other countries, their words in this matter are not only hollow and hypocritical, but also embarrassing because they presented themselves as a military power, yet they only talk once an actual military power attacks an any.
The fact that Zelensky is still alive after four years while Chamenei was killed in the first night of the war (both a result of intelligence) is a very hard reality check, regardless of what one thinks is right or legal, which my post isn’t supposed to claim anything about.
