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.

Every war was just as avoidable as this one. Yet we live in a world where not everyone wants to avoid war.

War is what happens when those who want to avoid it are forced into interaction with those who don’t.

If those who don’t want war simply choose not to fight, then a state worse than war exists.
