Seems like they did not include the damage to infrastructure in the surrounding countries and the economic losses worldwide. This reads more like military expenditure to me. The actual cost of this war is MUCH higher.

It’s nowhere near as expensive in the EU but it can be pretty close to the price of fuel in some countries. I regularly travel the same 700 kilometers through Germany and if you don’t book weeks in advance the fuel expenditure is often less than the price of the train ticket. Not to mention the comfort of a car is comparable to a first class seat which is even more expensive. But I guess you’d have to factor in maintenance as well.

and far better value than what Rheinmetall makes

Which is precisely why the Rheinmetall CEO made this statement. Nobody would buy their 70000€ drones if you can get the same job done for 1000€.

It’s the “I’m a conspiracy podcaster and woke up as the director of the FBI”-look.

Unfortunately you chancellor says that international law does not apply to Iran

I’d like to see that quote.

Of course dictators lie. But yeah, looking at the situation at hand, Iran does not have much to gain from lying in a public statement that is not directed towards their own population. The US definitely does though, they do it all the time.

Every side in this conflict sucks, but I’d still believe the officials in Iran over the officials in the US. The American government is very obviously and methodically lying to our faces every single day and without shame. I don’t see a reason to assume the same for Iran, even if they are terrible people.

Not really, considering the US could help Ukraine massively and refuses to do so. And meanwhile Russia is unable to do much more than send a bit of intel and some drones.

I guess it’s not something he wanted to take any chances with. His father was fairly high up in the Austro-Hungarian military, so he knew what the frontline was like.

He still lived a long and decently healthy life and died in his 80s. Never drank or smoked again though.

My German great grandpa was a pacifist and got around being drafted into WW1 and WW2 by pretending to be an alcoholic. He apparently barely ate and lived only from booze and cigarettes for a month. He went to the draft office underweight and shaking and they pretty much sent him home immediately. Unfortunately he did some actual damage to his liver with it but I guess it’s better than getting blown to bits for the Emperor or the Nazis.

The upside is that it has the potential to bring Europe even closer together.

I’m 6’7" and my hair just brushes the top of the doorway. I’ve hit my head once and it’s been terrifying ever since.

Thanks

Iran was selling weapons to Russia, not the other way round. Russia had no capacity to export any weapons these last two years, as *emphasized by their attempts to buy back the S-400s they sold to Turkey or having to import North Korean artillery.

Sure, and maybe aliens will come to Earth and just teleport the entirety of Iran to Israel’s doorstep.

It literally makes zero sense for Israel to claim hostile territory over 2000 kilometers away when the US already has numerous bases in the surrounding countries.

Not in this neighborhood, no.

If you think that Israel will take land from Iran you better double-check where these countries are on the map.

Too bad, I’m sure Assad was looking forward to meeting his new roommate.
