it means it could be a western european, war hungry government (or governments) operation. trying to invoke chapter 4 to *force* USA to join fully

back in the cold war days, trying to say that "it was weapons used by russians" to justify accusing the russians of doing it would not have worked, for a simple reason: russian weapons are all over the world, and could have been acquired anywhere.
they are iranian drones, which means that even more places it could have been from, not only russians buying them, but many others not necessarily even russian allies.
china, india, much of southern asia, and western asia, all don't want WW3 on their doorstep. there's no way that the russians would do something like this. the signature of everything they have been doing so far is sticking to the letter of the international law.
if ukraine didn't have funding from the West in this war it would have been over 18 months ago, and they would have been forced to concede. instead, they threw hundreds of thousands of bodies at it and have not succeeded in stopping the steady advance.
there is high level, very old and historical vendettas between western europe and russia dating back over 600 years. the most notable group is oligarchs who identify as jews, a group that existed even in the time of Jesus, they are talked about in the Book of Jude as "wandering stars" - star is a word used back then to mean "angels" just like "morning star" means an archangel.
Oof, telling the Ukrainians that they should just stop whining and become a vassal state of Russia is not a solution I'd propose.
You can tell them to stop being a vassal state for the west and to get denazified
I doubt Russians are afraid of NATO. Afraid of what? We can't even shoot down drones. LOL
Could barely even handle 20 of them, and didn't see them coming. Pathetic.
They literally had to call us and be like, yo, we accidentally invaded your air space. Might want to do something about that. 🤙🏻
They know our defenses are a joke.
It was cheap, Russian-built drones from Chinese kits.
chinese kits lol
Cheap mail-order drones made out of plywood and foam. No joke. 😂
They're apparently mostly used as decoys, to overwhelm the sensors, waste munitions, and to test the defensive response.
I mean, it's smart. 🤷🏻♀️
ah yeah, i remember reading about that. so all of the ones that got shot down were decoys? that fits even firmer into the provocation point. unarmed, harmless, but "you couldn't even shoot down a dozen toys"
also, they probably put telemetry on it to gauge the response. but that doesn't count as anything more than getting data on the response, how many were hit, how many got away, etc
Means it could also be Russians. They also know how to redirect the drones.
Or the USA.
