    A Russian drone hit an apartment building in Romania, a NATO member state, sparking outrage across Europe, where nations have ramped up defense efforts against Moscow. The explosives-packed aircraft was ostensibly bound for nearby Ukraine, but crossed into a Romanian town near the two countries’ border.

    Of the five posts I’ve seen so far on social media on this topic, this is the only one to give some sense of what actually happened.

      We could actually do a one week military operation and fucking dust Russia. And it would be a favor to humanity. What is the hold up. We know for a certainty that they’re way past the point of desperation for money and supplies that they would have either sold their nukes whole or for parts to barely not even save face already.

      Fuck em.

      Maybe stop getting your news from social media if you want to know what is actually happening?

    He’s trying to get a retaliation from NATO, and then use that attack on Russia as a valid reason to call general mobilization. Without a good reason he can’t call mobilization. And it’ll boost his standing with the population with a good ol’ rallying around the flag.

    If NATO stays cool and gives a pile of cash to Ukraine in response for deploying drone air defense at NATO/Russia border and more support for Ukraine to attack Moskou it’ll do the opposite is what Putin wants. If every stupid attack strengthens the enemy he’ll attack less.
