Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed for the first time that Israel delivered Patriot air defense systems to Kyiv, adding two more batteries will arrive in the fall after months of speculation and denials
We are getting their older Patriot systems (that are very much needed, you’ll change your tune when the building across the street from you gets hit with a Shahed), what do you expect Zelenskyy to do, say “No!”?
I will speculate Zelenskyy’s opinion of Netanyahu is far closer to your own, but unless you are willing to provide x8 Patriot missile systems, you are not in a position to judge.
Are you suggesting that Israel is getting nothing in return for this? At a bare minimum, Israel is purchasing support for their bloodthirsty expansionist project. Sorry, but I do expect Ukraine to say no. I don’t care what Zelensky’s (or any other leader’s) personal opinion is about anything. The only thing that matters is their actions. Providing even passive support for evil, like that personified by Israel, makes it more likely that nations will behave the way that Russia has against Ukraine. Find another way.
What is Israel getting in return from Ukraine for the Patriot system? Cite your sources.
What do you mean by “support for their bloodthirsty expansionist project”? Be specific.
What do you mean by providing passive support? What passive support is being providing? Zelenskyy shaking hands with Netenyahu? Him not shaking hands with Netenyahu will force Israel stop to killing civilians in Gaza?
I’ve been up for 3 hour since ~ 6 am because of today’s attack by the russians (after waking up twice due to Shaheds and then a Kinzhal ballistic missile warning). You believe we should not be able counter russian bombings? Just say “No!” to additional air defense systems? Do you even think about what you are writing?
How is refusal to accept the Patriot systems going to help the Palestinians?
Find another way? What does that mean? Be clear and specific!
Your have a wrapped and almost comically impractical view of the world. I can guarantee you, this type of attitude is not going to help stop the current horrors happening in Gaza and the broader genocidal imperialism of Israel.
No, they don’t think about what they’re posting because they live in the safety of a place not under constant attack and genocide OR because they are themselves a Russian troll trying to stoke fights. The third option is they are an unempathetic fuckwit with such privilege of safety that they cannot comprehend that shades of grey exist and survival can mean doing things you may not necessarily want to do.
They are lord farquaad levels of “some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take”. Obviously a troll or someone who should not be taken even a little bit seriously.
They probably do that in the hopes that it brings them diplomatic points from all the countries that are calling their genocide unacceptable recently.
No matter the reason, Ukraine needs every help it can get. They cannot denounce or fight against what’s happening in Gaza if they’ve been annexed by Russia.
How is Zelenskyy allying with Netanyahu?
