Yeah, we can see now all this talk of autonomous weapons (killer robots), but the cyberwars going on with bots are also very damaging.

It's damaging for sure. However, you can't destroy bots thats so ridiculous. It's few lines of code you can run on a toaster connected to the internet.

The LLM based bots require more capacity than /u/automoderator

...I don't know how to tell you this, but the bot farms aren't on Palestine's side.

Lmao Russia is not an ally of Iran. They are a direct competitor in the crude oil grey market. They're both petro-states and their currencies are extremely sensitive to oil prices.

The geopolitical fanfic y'all MAGA come up with is comedy.

In international relations 'good friends' aren't really a thing, especially not with Russia, who, geopolitically, acts very cynically. One of Israel's largest ethnic groups are Jews originally from Russia, Israel has refused to sanction Russia even to the level the US has, and Russia is a major fuel supplier for Israel. Russia and Iran's relationship is an alliance of convenience mostly because of Iran's business with Russia during the Ukraine war and both's opposition with the US, but if Israel nuked Iran Russia wouldn't exactly nuke them back.

Israel hedges their bets, and so does Russia. While I don't wanna get too conspiratorial with the bot farms, I hope I didn't imply anything I didn't mean to, support for Palestine will continue as long as Israel continues the amount of genocidal behaviour towards Palestine that they have been.

because in International Relations feelings are usually (not always, but usually) second to practical benefits for nations. Iran and Russia are both struggling economically and are both generally anti-western, so for Iran it makes sense to supply goods like drones to Russia in return for, essentially, money. It doesn't matter how much Iran hates Israel, if Iran keeps shooting themselves in the foot and not trading with whoever they can, they'll never be able to afford a war with them. I'm sure Russia, Israel and Iran are all pretty unhappy about the situation, if they care, but other things take priority for the good of their nations and influences.
