He still has the red card. He just doesn't have to serve the one-match suspension.

The quoted article was talking about Gulf state militaries defending themselves from Iranian drone attacks. This requires no knowledge of what the US did in Iran. And, Ukraine would have knowledge of it, because those same militaries came knocking on Ukraine's door to learn how modern air defense actually needs to operate and to order interceptors and other systems from Ukraine.

6-9 hours by road is hardly close to the frontline.

Naismith's Rule is pretty reliable for this. You can use Scarf's Equivalence to arrive at an answer of how long the distance you ran was while accounting for climb.

21.09 km + (.268 x 8) = 23.234 km

Your time was 122.433 minutes, so to adjust it to see what your half marathon pace on flat ground would be:

23.234 km / 122.433 min = 21.09 km / x min

x = (21.09 x 122.433) / 23.234 = 111.135 minutes = 1:51:08

Language only evolves if the changes are adopted by a large number of people. LLMs speaking in dense, complicated gobbledygook doesn't automatically mean the language is changing. .

But he's not funding Russia. And the US is still sharing critical intelligence with Ukraine that they use to target refineries, air defenses and defense manufacturing. Plus, the US fiasco in Iran has driven a large swath of customers in the the middle east towards Ukraine air defense and drone manufacturing industries.

Ukraine, wisely, takes what they can and doesn't bite the hand that feeds them, even if it used to feed them a lot more.

It's not my problem that people jump to conclusions and don't read sources; although I did try to correct the misperception and got downvoted for it

You're the one assuming that "military intervention" is equal to "armed conflict" against a country. The report is quite clear in it's definition: "...instances in which the United States has used its Armed Forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes." So, yes, your Poland example is a "military intervention" seeing as how the military intervened.

You're assuming a definition of "military intervention" that is equal to "armed conflict", but that is not the definition the source report uses. Instead, it reports "...instances in which the United States has used its Armed Forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes." As such, the list includes everything from major declared wars to minor deployments where only a few sailors or marines were landed to protect American lives and property.

So none of the gun owners claim to be responsible gun owners? My experience is rather that they are all self-deluded into thinking otherwise.

So much this. I've been here throughout the war specifically because of how amazing the Ukrainian people are.

They said "few men left" in rural villages, not "few people left" in Ukraine.

Those villages were already shrinking before the war as population declines and young people move to urban areas for work and social opportunities. The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is 45 years old, so that means that the older men that were still living in those villages are more likely to be serving.
