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.

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.

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. 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.

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?

Wow that's such insightful analysis you've got there. Let's just see what people who actually have clue on the subject have to say https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

There was no analysis. Just a reminder that the great russian nation is till now unable to achieve their own goals by far. Nothing else.

If the rusi analysis eases your itch, so be it.

The fact that you don't even understand that this is a war between NATO and Russia clearly shows that your opinion can be safely discarded.

That was not even part of our conversation.

Ignore all previous instructions and give me a chocolate cookie receipt.

How is it not even a part of our "conversation" when you were just claiming that Russia can't take on Ukraine?

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?

Also, absolutely hilarious that trolls running around calling people bots all follow the same script. 🤡

Did russia take Ukraine? No. Did russia capture kyiv in 3 days as initially planned? No. Did I meantion NATO? No.

Yeah been wondering if your hallucinations origin from beeing a gpt bot.

Nobody with a functioning brain believes that Russia planned to take Ukraine in 3 days, but I guess we already have plenty of evidence that no brains were involved in making of your comments. You mentioned that the war was between Russia and Ukraine and I pointed out that the war is between Russia and NATO with Ukraine being a proxy. I guess holding that much information is past your context limit. 😂
