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.

        Trying to keep things more civil, but seems that I was not wrong in my assessment. You should really go sign up for the foreign legion.

          Yeah, no lol. This was a troll comment from the start, so please don’t take it seriously.

          Although, seeing what essentially triggered WW1, I wouldn’t be too surprised if Romania actually invokes Article 5 since this is just another world war waiting to happen after years of built up pressure (The invasion of Ukraine, nuclear threats from North Korea, the East gathering up allies etc.).

            Article 5 has absolutely no meaning unless US decides that it wants to fight Russia directly, which would result in a nuclear holocaust and end of our civilization. Europe simply does not have the industrial capacity to keep up with Russia on its own, nor does it have a cohesive and experienced army that could possibly stand up to Russia.

              Eh. I can see some air strikes into Russia without a nuclear response. Putin may be losing it a bit but as long as there aren’t boots on the ground other Russians won’t let him go completely crazy.

                I’m sure Russia will be happy to give Yemen some Iskanders to do strikes on US assets in the region as a response.

              I don’t think any country would be crazy enough to use nuclear weapons really, even if it means they will lose, though I might be underestimating Putin and the like.

              Eh… so russia can not take Ukraine but is superior to Europe. Makes sense. Is it the experienced cohesive army of russia that is capturing Kyiv on day looks at notes 3 of looks at calendar 886?
