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.

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

[-] MarxMadness@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 month ago

That would kill millions at minimum and likely result in nuclear war. It's utterly psychopathic to cheerlead this and totally detached from the horrors you're wishcasting. Disgusting.

[-] OurToothbrush@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

Okay so you want a hot war between Russia and NATO and you think that would be less violent?

Where are you getting your information from?

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

So then russia uses tactical nukes, then what?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org -5 points 1 month ago

Putin would know fully well that M.A.D. isnt worth it over the russo-ukranian war.

[-] MarxMadness@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago

You apparently don't

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Are you aware that he has threatened this multiple times? Who do you think Ukraine is more imporant to Russia (its neighbor) or the US (a country on the other side of the world where a good portion of people couldnt point to it on a map)?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org -2 points 1 month ago

Yeah because only USA is part of NATO (yeah disregard all EU member states of NATO why don't you) and only on a flat map is it on the other side of the world. It's literally across the Bering strait.

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

The US is the main driver of NATO by far. The far reaches of russia are right next to the far reaches of the US, but Ukraine is on the other side of the planet. Why would Russia have less incentive than the US to lose?

[-] legion02@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Because we have long memories. The last nation to attempt forceful annexation of neighboring countries like this was Nazi Germany.

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

Oh wow, the comparison to nazi germany... Do you honestly believe that a country with the GDP of one of americas states is a risk to take over Europe like germany did?

[-] legion02@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Most European nations fit that description. Yeah I think it's possible.

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

If that is true then Ukraine had zero chance of winning. So then considering that, you are in favor of using the deaths of tens of thousands of dead Ukrainian soldiers and civilians to mildly harm the Russian military?

[-] legion02@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

First Georgia now Ukraine. It's time for the world make it known that shit ain't gonna fly.

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago

So that is a yes, you want Ukrainians to die for a narative that is not proven and doesnt seem logical?

[-] legion02@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ukrainians are already dying because Russia is attempting to invade their country. Wtf?

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

Apparently you are not aware that the war could have ended two years ago but Boris Johnson flew in and offered them weapons to keep fighting. What your logic seems to be saying is - you are in favor of giving weapons to Ukraine so they can fight and weaken Russia, but they never had a chance of winning because Russia is strong enough to semi-replicate what Nazi germany did. So you are willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of Ukrainians to weaken Russia. What part about this is not what you believe?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 0 points 1 month ago

Mildly harm? The battle reports don't look so mildly for Russia.

[-] CableMonster@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago

Who do you get accurate battle reports from?

[-] MarxMadness@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

It’s literally across the Bering strait.

Damn you really can't point out Ukraine on a map lmao

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

He’s thinking of Kamchatka.
