It’s well known that US doesn’t commit war crimes, they just make mistakes.

Yeah, like they attacked Syria, or Lebanon, or Tunis, or Iraq, or Libya.

What they have to see in this case in your opinion?

On what basis should NATO get involved?

US and Israel sneak attacked Iran during negotiations that presumably were going very well.

Iran is attacking only the countries that were involved in the attacks.

US affected war risk insurance by sinking Iranian ship, this will to although probably not much.

They are being downvoted because Nuland is an utterly insignificant diplomat, but serves well as a dog whistle for people who subscribe to the belief that the Maidan revolution in Ukraine was really some Obama organized coup. This is a story peddled by the Russian government, which of course is where Yanukovych promptly fled after having protestors shot. At the same time Russia was busy staging troops and material for the actual coup they were planning.

Yes, insignificant enough to remark "Yats is our guy" (during an intercepted but confirmed-authentic conversation with another US diplomat that Russia subsequently leaked), only for "Yats" (Arseniy Yatsenyuk) to subsequently become the Ukrainian PM. Coincidence, I'm sure...

Guy is full of it though. Iranian drones are very effective while American Switchblade drones shit the bed completely in Ukraine.

We have US cloning Iranian drones now https://www.euronews.com/2026/03/10/flm-136-americas-cheap-i...

You're comparing apples, bananas, and pineapples while pretending they're all one thing. Switchblades are extremely effective (albeit expensive) anti-personnel (300 model) and anti-armor (600 model) drones. Shaheds are much larger, cheap, low on capabilities, but attritable used to attack fixed positions (e.g., buildings). These are all very different.

That's the point -- maybe the US should have bought apples instead of buying bananas.

I don't understand your point. Switchblades are (roughly) more akin to FPV (300 model) and Vampire drones (600 model) with reapect to size and payloads. Shahed style drones are roughly like like low end cruise missles. Different form factors and different capabilities. All of them are needed, but they're all very different.

A cruise missile is 3,000,000$ and a shahed drone is 50,000$ so if it’s even remotely the same capability it is an immense technological improvement over an expensive and slow to manufacture cruise missile.

You need a high/low capability that mixes all levels. For example, the Ukrainians and the Russians are both manufacturing very expensove cruise missles (Neptune/Iskander) and long range attack drones (shahed/fp-2/lute/etc). At any rate the original post I was responding to was comparing Switchblades to Shaheds, which is non-sensical.

What is the use case of a dumb, slow, suicide drone for the US army?

What’s the use case of a flying bomb that can be mass produced at little cost in days to weeks instead of months to years? Yeah tough to say really.

Well, what is it going to be used for?

Let’s compare it to Lancet then.

Lancets were miles better than Switchblades.

AFAIK Switchblades were used only in first months of the war then completely abandoned.

If only they had bought banana bombs!

Consensus reached by the group that attacked them. Why do we have to go through this every time US attacks someone?

Every time it turns out they lied through their teeth, yet people still believe.

30K is such an incredibly high number that you really have to be gullible to trust it.

> 30K is such an incredibly high number that you really have to be gullible to trust it.

Correct; it's a very high number.

Yes, either that, or shows how ignorant you are about the extent of brutality of the regime.

I’m ignorant?

I didn’t see any more brutality than I saw from US regime and especially ICE.

I never saw a person shot in the face in Iran but I saw in the US. Should we bomb US?

Also, 30k dead means there would be at least some proof. Once Iran reinstated internet after protests NO VIDEOS of killings showed up. Protesters decided not to record any of the killings?!

> I'm ignorant?

Very.

I'm not gonna debate the obvious with an account with 53 karma who denies the existence of basic stuff or not aware of the obvious who wants to lash out against the west. No videos my ass. I'm not gonna be your Google, so I am out.
