The value of an effective air defence system and of unwavering international support was crystal clear the night of Iran’s massive attack on Israel: most Iranian missiles and drones were destroyed before they reached Israeli soil. The US, the UK and France, as well as Jordan, participated in Israel’s defence.

Unlike Israel, Ukraine lacks sufficient air defences, and the west provides far less than it could or should to defend Ukraine against Russia. Ukraine is not dealing with one-off retaliation for striking a Russian consulate – as Israel is with Iran. Russia has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine since 2014, aimed at eradicating its nationhood.

      Yes others have them, the difference is that Russia’s are going to be pointed at you if they get used.

      No shit but I personally don’t want the world to fucking end in nuclear warfare. If Russia drops nukes then everyone dies including you dumbass.

        Including Russia. Why do you think they’d be so quick to end the world?

        Me neither but it is not that if someone has nukes than he can do whatever he wants.

        Putin don’t care about the population but he care about himself. There is no way he can launch nuclear attack and survive. And he know it

        I’m no nuclear psychiatrist, but is it true that a single nuke will envelop the entire world or even crack it in half?
