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.

    Nato entering would basically be an overwhelming force against Russia. It’s going to end real quick after that.

      That would kill millions at minimum and likely result in nuclear war. It’s utterly psychopathic to cheerlead this and totally detached from the horrors you’re wishcasting. Disgusting.

      Okay so you want a hot war between Russia and NATO and you think that would be less violent?

      Where are you getting your information from?

        Putin would know fully well that M.A.D. isnt worth it over the russo-ukranian war.

          Are you aware that he has threatened this multiple times? Who do you think Ukraine is more imporant to Russia (its neighbor) or the US (a country on the other side of the world where a good portion of people couldnt point to it on a map)?

            Yeah because only USA is part of NATO (yeah disregard all EU member states of NATO why don’t you) and only on a flat map is it on the other side of the world. It’s literally across the Bering strait.

              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?
