    I mean the Hothies are making good use of the weapons they have. Would be nice if the US did this instead of arming the Israelis

    I do wonder how Russia feels about this, though. Since I imagine they’re allined with the Israelis, who are also invading their neighbors trying to steal their land.

      Russia is aligned with causing as much chaos and destabilizing world order in order to grab as much land and influence in the process. In other words perfectly aligned.
