* Even though Iran keeps increasing its military support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- posing a significant threat to the European Union, the EU policy of appeasing the mullahs persists.
* "These drones [in Russia] aren't just a threat to Ukraine — they're a threat to every NATO country bordering Russia." — Henrik F. Rasmussen, executive director of the Institute for Science and International Security, politico.eu, November 13, 2023.
