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.

    If that is true then Ukraine had zero chance of winning. So then considering that, you are in favor of using the deaths of tens of thousands of dead Ukrainian soldiers and civilians to mildly harm the Russian military?

            Apparently you are not aware that the war could have ended two years ago but Boris Johnson flew in and offered them weapons to keep fighting. What your logic seems to be saying is - you are in favor of giving weapons to Ukraine so they can fight and weaken Russia, but they never had a chance of winning because Russia is strong enough to semi-replicate what Nazi germany did. So you are willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of Ukrainians to weaken Russia. What part about this is not what you believe?

                Cool, that is not what we are talking about right now.

                  Russia is strong, but not nearly strong enough to “semi-replicate” what Nazi Germany did, not that it really matters since Russia has no interest in replicating it.

                  I’m in favor of giving Ukraine weapons so they can defend themselves. You trying to put statements in my mouth because what I’m actually saying is inconvenient for you changes nothing.

                    If Russia is probably capable of doing what Nazi Germany did, why would giving them weapons to defend themselves end in a win?

      Mildly harm? The battle reports don’t look so mildly for Russia.
