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.

    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?

              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?

                    Ukrainians are already dying because Russia is attempting to invade their country. Wtf?
