isnt Cyprus in west asia?

It doesn't require more skill and in most cases just bare bones intelligence. Russia has flown reconnaisence drones right over the heads of Ukrainian officials and could kill them at any time through the deployment of ballistic missiles. But killing the upper Echelon of the Ukrainian government doesn't necessarily serve Russias interest, as annoying as this might be. While the US defaults to this option because they assume this will just lead to structural collapse, which in my opinion is a false assumption.
It's called the eliminating allies and proxies game, surely the west should understand how it's played?Wait, is the IRGC basically begging for a Western and Gulf crusade against Iran? lol
Trump wanted something quick. But it seems that won't happen unfortunately. Iran rejected casefire.
