Although Kremlin strike planners probably didn’t intend to hit a NATO member, Romania’s military launched F-16s fighters and said it would investigate.

A Russian kamikaze drone on Wednesday flew into NATO air space and detonated near a Romanian village, Ukrainian news reports said, but official Bucharest said the fact of the strike wasn’t confirmed and that they would check.

Ukrainian social media video recorded in the river port city of Izmail, opposite Plaura, showed an orange flash lighting up the night horizon and a booming blast on the Romanian side of the river. Flames and smoke reaching hundreds of meters into the sky were visible following the explosion. A Russian kamikaze drone strike against Izmail had been in progress at the time.

      Yes sir

      1. We have to give weapons so that Ukraine can win.

      2. Russia is Nazi Germany and will keep taking over all of Europe so we need to stop them now.

      Both of these arguments are terrible and have huge holes.

        1. Ukraine was never able to win this war short of over-escelating with nukes. The conflict happened because of conditions that they themselves set in motion; they allowed nazis to organise and attack against ethnic minorities and lgbt+ rallies with western and ex-soviet weaponry.

        This is a fascist folk band, they did a tour that involved going to western ukraine and stoking tensions + encouraging they commit acts of terror

        They would go on to write songs about it

        in case you thought there was any ambiguity, this is the brain rot we’re dealing with

        This is literally just one example. Comparing Russia to the nazis here is genuinally insane.

          I was sharing the beliefs of people pro war. They are not saying they are like the Nazis, they are claiming they have the same intention to take over countries.

            Oh yeah my tone came off wrong there, more replying to the person they are talking to as im assuming they downvoted it; I hoped to show how the ‘no nazis to see here’ thing shitlibs love to do with downplaying ukraines actual fascist presence.
