Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and Israel as “battlefield laboratories” to probe at Western military vulnerabilities, experts told a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee Wednesday.
“Together, Russia and Iran are using Ukraine and the Middle East as battlefield laboratories to improve their weapons and develop techniques to overcome U.S. and allied defensive systems,” Dana Stroul, director of research at the Washington Institute, told lawmakers at a hearing on the “Despotic Duo.”
“Iran is extracting from Russia lessons in combined strike packages as well as insights into the strengths and weaknesses of Western-origin air and missile defense systems,” Stroul said in her written statement.
I am really encouraged by everyone’s comments on this thread! Just 10 years ago it would be rare to meet this response online.
Every single commenter has called out this ghoulish rhetoric.
I love you all 😊
That’s because you’re in an extreme bubble here
Or maybe we are outside the extreme bubble ?
It’s not a bubble of extremeness, it’s just extremely bubbly.
Isn’t that what people in extreme bubbles usually think?
Seeing the one clear truth the rest of the world misses? Hah yeah maybe, or maybe just like every single group that previously thought this about themselves we’re detaching from reality and slowly going crazy…
Well I’m glad you mentioned that - because no one in the rest of the world has said that, or anything like that.
.ml is gonna call us the tankies soon
You are encouraged by lazy, empty whataboutism? That’s troubling.
Be not troubled, my child, for they are merely pixels on screen.
I know, if whataboutism is all it takes for people to forget that USA of America are on G*D’s side, then it’s pretty clear that fake president Biden and the demon-rats and their best pal (old split hoof!) have won. /S
Citing the magic word “whataboutism” and thinking that’s enough to ward off criticisms of American hypocrisy is incredibly lazy and empty.
