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.

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

What I think they meant to say was not that they were getting their news from social media. They clearly knew what had happened from actual news and were commenting that social media wasn’t really reporting things accurately.

Didn’t something similar happen in Turkey? Russian drones ended up crashing into something in Turkey and NATO more or less shrugged and said, “Stay on your side of the fence”.

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.

Ukraine is in need for men, you can pack your bags and go there if you want

Yeah so we’re talking about Russia attacking a NATO country right now, where a shit load of treaties, countries, supplies have signed up to respond to.

What are you talking about?

Edit: after one seconds of research, I see you’ve copied and pasted that response to multiple people. Why don’t you take a second to contribute to conversation instead of whatever shit you’re trying to steer?

You wish for a military operation to fucking dust Russia. I suggested you pack your bags and go in ukraine as they are in need for men on the front lines to fight russia.

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works on 30 May 10:44 collapse

Again, this is about Romania. As indicated in the post.

Me showing up in Ukraine will make no difference.

Nato countries acting on their contracts would.

Not only that, it would split Russian forces in a more than significant way, and give Ukraine the break and or assistance they need.

The fact that you couldn’t take just a moment to realize that means you have zero room to give advice on the subject.

brachiosaurus@mander.xyz on 30 May 10:52 collapse

You are advocating for a military operation to dust russia, if your wish is to fight russia and dust them you can pack your bags and enlist in ukraine as they are in need for more men in the front lines.

Whostosay@sh.itjust.works on 30 May 10:54 next collapse

So we’re not having a conversation I take it?

No back and forth, just your uninformed incorrect advice.

Especially no reading.

Got it.

So weird how this conversation abruptly ended after one of us was so confident they could triple down.

We could end this easily if we actually wanted to …

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.

Could be, russia government is scum. There’s a change it’s also NATO false flag operation to call general mobilization against russia, without a good reason they can’t call mobilization.

Didn’t Medvedev already admit to it?

He already said more will follow. It’s like that annoying brother that keeps poking you until get angry and react, to then squeal for mommy to punish you.
