Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has warned that it was “inevitable” that “war” would come to Russia after authorities there were forced to temporarily close a busy Moscow airport following an overnight drone attack on the capital.

    Didn’t they just up the conscripts to 30 now from like 25 or 26? Basically they’re running out of able bodies. Russia thinks more bodies mean more ground but it’s not WWI and that no longer works.

      Honestly, I am worried that Russia has already planned to either blow Zaphorzhiza to smithereens, set off a nuke somewhere in Ukraine, or both; that Ukraine and NATO both know it and NATO countries are too cowardly to act, and so Ukraine feels they need to overthrow Putin’s regime themselves before WW3 really kicks off… and if any of what I just said is right, it almost certainly will if they don’t.

      Russia running out of victims to throw in the meat grinder makes it all the more possible, and that should worry everyone.

        The Kremlin isn’t going to commit suicide by using nukes because of a failed land grab in Eastern Europe. Stop fear mongering.

        Uhhhh…

        if Russia throws nukes in Ukraine the war in Ukraine will end in a month. All of Europe will be in Ukraine and kill anything moving with a Z on it in weeks. There’s no WWIII. There’s a Ukraine war and it will go much worse for russia if they nuke even an empty field.

          Sounds like a good reason for Ukraine to invade Moscow and drag Putin to the Hague then.

          Actually I worry this is all a moot point anyway because the Russians really did rig the Zaphorzhiza plant to blow, meaning a nuclear conflict is probably going to be an inevitable conclusion to the whole thing regardless.

        You are worried about conspiracy in your own head?

          There were reports a month ago stating Russian troops rigged some of the cooling ponds inside the plant with explosives, so… yeah. The pro-Russia concern trolls in here trying to drum this drone attack up as an excuse to undermine Ukraine when they don’t want anyone to acknowledge that Putin’s actions on the nuclear front literally justify doing anything, up to and including the sane atrocities he inflicted on Ukraine if not more, simply to get rid of him and prevent a nuclear disaster.

          It’s like those trolls simply do not get it’s not just about Ukraine but quite literally life on the Earth.
