Medvedev said […] that Europe’s “impotent” leaders should stop expressing outrage over the incident since they were directly participating in a war against Russia.
[…] He said such incidents were particularly likely to continue in places where drones were being made for Ukraine. “After all, European drones, spare parts for them, and other weapons, not to mention intelligence, are used in attacks on our country every day. As a result of their actions, residential buildings are being damaged, in which our civilians are dying,” said Medvedev.
More of Moscow’s entitled bullying behavior: “Ukraine is ours! How dare you help them resist of attacks!” And in the meantime, Moscow has been conducting low level guerilla warfare against Europe and those friendly to the EU for years now - cutting undersea internet cables, arranging cyberattacks, blowing up train lines, jamming gps, violating airspace, arranging plane crashes against those they perceive as enemies of Moscow.
Also, the sheer hypocrisy of Russia invading and occupying multiple territories in Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine, then playing the victim when one of their victims retaliates in even just a low level way is just incredible.
It’s also worth noting that all of this is at least partially enabled and justified by Moscow’s post-WWII policies of forcibly relocating portions of the population in occupied Iron Curtain countries to be used as slave labor inside Russia; and relocating Russians into those same occupied territories to function as a privileged administrative class not subject to the privations the normal people went through, who then acted as an incredibly vocal pro-Russian movement after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia has used those “independent” voices as a justification for their territorial ambitions.
Where the fuck is NATO?
Moving troops into position.
NATO/EU is sliding cash to Zelensky to basically Gibbs slap Putin everytime a drone hits in the wrong place. It’s much cheaper and exactly what Putin doesn’t want to happen.
Of course this will happen, there was no response from NATO when it first happened.
He’s trying to get a retaliation from NATO, and then use that attack on Russia as a valid reason to call general mobilization. Without a good reason he can’t call mobilization. And it’ll boost his standing with the population with a good ol’ rallying around the flag.
If NATO stays cool and gives a pile of cash to Ukraine in response for deploying drone air defense at NATO/Russia border and more support for Ukraine to attack Moskou it’ll do the opposite is what Putin wants. If every stupid attack strengthens the enemy he’ll attack less.
Surely a strongly worded tweet will fix this.
Why is this person dressed like Hillary Clinton circa 2012?
That dude looks like a Russian knockoff of The Boys.

Like all sharks, the attack on the whole starts with a test bite.
