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.

        I don’t want young men to die, I want the Russians to go home, return Ukrainian sovereign territory, and live peacefully. I don’t want Russians bombing and killing Ukraine or any other nation. I want them to fuck off, and if they won’t fuck off, I want the Ukrainian military to kill them all and protect themselves.

          Great, we all want the same thing, why is Ukraine and NATO not working toward a peace agreement? Why did NATO give weapons to Ukraine to propagate a war that they were always going to lose?

              Russia wont just go home because they see Ukraine joining nato as an direct threat to their survival. Why did NATO agree to consider Ukraine as a potential NATO member when they knew it would likely cause war?

                Russia pushed Ukraine into seeking NATO membership when they attacked them in 2014. Ukraine was neutral before that.

                  And NATO pushed Russia to take over Crimea when it helped to overthrow an elected government. Where does it stop?

            To punish the organization that started the war.

            Punishing violence with violence may seem like fighting fire with fire, but fire doesn’t respond to operant conditioning or compute game theory.

            When an intelligent agent is causing problems, making problems for that agent is a way to signal that you’ll use your social power to alter their decision tree until they start playing nice again.

              So to punish politicians that started a war you are willing to have hundreds of thousands of young men and civilians die? How exactly does that punish politicians that are not there and whos kids down have to fight?

          This is so gutless. “Well sure I’d prefer unicorns and rainbows but KILL KILL KILL”… just say what you really mean and stand by it.

            I thought I was pretty clear, I want Russia to give back Ukrainian sovereign territory and leave back to UN recognized Russian borders and stop the war. There is no peace process without them leaving Ukraine alone.

                avoidable how? Putin wants his old territories, like crimea, back. How is his land grab 100% avoidable?

                  It was all about Ukraine joining nato. Had there been a promise that Ukraine would not join nato, this war would not have happened. The people in charge knew this and decided to do seek Ukraine joining nato anyways, why would they do this if they knew it would cause war?

                Nato entering would basically be an overwhelming force against Russia. It’s going to end real quick after that.

      an unmanned drone harmlessly crashing into a field isn’t going to kick off world war 3… at least I sure hope not.

          More than half the world is in support of Russia, mostly because they do not support the USA proxy war or NATO. If by “the whole world” you mean NATO, then not even that considering the support isn’t unanimous. The remainder is indifferent, don’t really care one way or the other.
