Will it be Ukraine or the Middle East that “officially” kicks off World War III? Does it matter? From RT at rt.com:
Attacks on nuclear sites pose global risks and cannot be justified, according to Russia’s ambassador to the UN

Russia’s envoy to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, has condemned Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Speaking at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday, the diplomat said West Jerusalem was acting with impunity, backed by the West.
Israel launched the strikes on uranium enrichment sites in Iran on Friday and killed several senior commanders and scientists in targeted assassination operations, claiming the moves were preemptive steps to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Iran, which denies pursuing a military nuclear program, responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv.
Nebenzia said Israel had apparently intended to sabotage the indirect US-Iran nuclear talks which had been scheduled to resume Sunday. Tehran has declared that the strikes have effectively ended any diplomatic pathway.
“This is a completely unprovoked attack – whatever Israel may claim to the contrary – and it constitutes a gross violation of the UN Charter and international law,”Nebenzia said. “Responsibility for all the consequences of these actions rests entirely with the Israeli leadership and those who condone them.”
NO Great Reset Leap Forward without WWIII and terminal peak stupidity.
Saw a dank meme if RF supplies weapons to the glorious peoples republic of California, they aren’t a party to the conflict.
It’s a bit hard to claim it’s completely unprovoked when Iran has been making its desires to see Israel destroyed explicit for decades and has set about creating the means to do that. It’s actually rather similar to what NATO was doing inside Ukraine before Russia decided enough was enough.
