But who'll control the interceptors? Jordanians, Ukrainians, or Yanks?

Iran supports Hezbollah, and Russia sometimes supports Iran.
Maybe. It's complicated. 😏

Unless Russia's fighting Israel it's just own-brand sparkling terrorism.

Israel and the USA (the "Epstein group") are fighting Iran, right?
So Israel attacked Russia and Iran attacked any smaller countries within range and all of them attacked Lebanon.
Is it now the USA's turn to roll a d20 for who it attacks next?

At the start of the 19th century the USA's behaviour was "tolerated as a sign of diplomatic immaturity".
Did it ever grow up, or is Trump the embodiment of its national character?

No but he's added Grok-of-sh*t to it, so human users can post bot-level nonsense (and worse, of course).

We have to assume Ukraine knew those particular officers were not actively undermining the Russian army by corruption and brutality.

The son is "continuity Khamenei", no change to policy of oppressing their own citizens.
IRGC might have preferred to openly take control, as a military dictatorship.

They don't seem very ideological. There's bound to be an element of sunk cost fallacy ("it can't all have been in vain!") but for professional soldiers "ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die".
Surely they must spawn a leader eventually?

Ukraine might have good reasons to not want agents of hostile states on its ground close to the border it's defending!

I don't think so. πŸ€”
The report says SCALP and ATACMS which are apparently GPS+inertial guidance, with some extras on the SCALP. So the drone's job was to make sure the hits were on target and record them for point scoring.
I think that's observation not correction but I'm not an expert.

Obvs they got bombed in Novorossysk because what air defence was doing was, trying to work out which way round their underwear should be.

I have no confidence in the USA.
And there's too much USA-branded tat all over the world.
