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.

    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?

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

        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?

            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?

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

                    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?

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