A Bloody Round Robin: Ukraine, Iran, and Arms Dollars

Do the Democrats still love Ukraine? If so, it might change hearts and minds if the media shifts focus from the US bombing Iran for Israel to the Ukraine attacking Iran.
Consider this: merely days after the late Senator Graham’s visit to Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy attacked Iran, which was a proxy attack on Russia; Mother Russia, Iran’s longtime friend, resupplier, and oil customer. Even so, with enough Russian enemies on his borders, why did Zelenskyy risk expanding hostilities to include a mid-east conflict that American is already fighting?
Perhaps Graham pointed out the benefits to Ukraine of combining the Russian and Iranian wars.
And what could those benefits be? Let’s consider just a few. The media sale of the Ukraine war to Americans was easy in the early days. But now we’ve grown tired of the conflict and aren’t paying attention. Instead of focusing on Ukraine all American eyes are trained on Iranian oil and will stay there until gas prices drop for good. Americans, who already like Zelenskyy, might be grateful for his help filling up their cars; and because attacking Iran is indirectly attacking Putin, attacking Iran helps the Ukraine home-front war effort. Europe will be happier than they have been since we bombed Iran. They don't want us to attack Iran, but they do want Ukraine to keep fighting Putin so that NATO can keep expanding. Plus there are a lot of shady deals and circumstances in Ukraine, and it's convenient for the world to keep them there. Ask the Bidens.
But wait. There’s more. Recently, Israel ramped up its arms production and is expanding international sales. Ukraine can buy Israeli and US arms with US aid dollars, and then the dollars can come back around to the US and Israel through their industries. Ukraine, Iran, and arms dollars. A bloody round robin.
At this point, we don't know if Ukraine will continue to engage in the Iranian war, but the sight of Zelenskyy and Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington D.C. at Senator Graham’s funeral is certainly a powerful suggestion of what could be.
