Here’s what others had to say:
@josephvanwie6706
Zelenski is sending the drones into the Baltic states to try and get NATO into direct conflict with the Russians because he’s low on cannon fodder and military equipment.
@PierreForsberg-n6t
Maybe you missed the point: If the baltic states don’t shoot down drones that might be Ukrainian, then the Russian drones can also fly over these territories to attack Ukraine. Smart from the Russian side.
@bonanzaguy1
Article 5 doesn’t mean any state is forced to go to war.
@canadiancombatwombatthe3rd782
Ukraine is doing that thing again where they throw as many men into one spot and hope it breaks through, they always fall for this trap and this time I think Russia will test their weapons on this large concentration of cannon fodder, very sad but self inflicted, Zelensky is desperate.
@Warpath888
Russia needs to take a chapter out of the Iranian handbook.USA only understands Force with Force.
@KabiAMAZ-n1d
When Russians were afraid of anything in history Mr Dima? You mistake patience for fear and misinterpret restraint for weakness!
@newwavecarpenter
Russia is all talk, if they aren’t afraid of anything why didn’t they shoot down the British spy plane!
@Kchak-h8q
Russia should just go all out on Ukraine and stop this bloody war.
@zorandimcevich6128
Xi and Putin must’ve spoken about Russia taking the Baltics. The SMO began 5 days after Putin saw xi in 22.
@rhodium1096
I dont understand what kind of war Russia is waging, the most logical thing to do is to destroy the 24 bridges over Dnieper and isolate the entire East part, instead of that is mired in a war of attrition with no significative progress while Ukrainian drones are killing Russian civilians everyday and destroying industrial plant in all European part of Russia. after 5 years Kiev should be destroyed by now.
@elysianfields1671
Russia won’t nuke anyone…yet. There are many steps to be taken before that happens. And Russia and Putin are very methodical with this approach.
@equadvif4475
IMHO, after talking to Xi, and probably with the backing from China, Putin is now much more confident.
@Alois-4444
The Baltic states were asking for this. If they keep it up they will be smoking holes. I will laugh!
@Nobilangelo
When Russia makes a show of force, it is not bluffing. Those who think it is will end up making ashes of themselves.
@dorustanciu8882
As a former Slavic officer, you should know the Russian mentality and thinking, they think like a chess game, many moves before making a move, while the West throws itself forward like rams blinded by anger! Unfortunately, this is also done by the Ukrainian army which is actually led by “NATO strategies”!!
@huaqwe
The drones over Lithuania, as well as over Latvia, were Ukrainian. Lithuania confirmed this today. They were just afraid for nothing.
@chrisseward5368
Why on earth would the Russians not attack the RAF spy plane it is passing information to Ukrainians to Kill Russians. We would have shot it down if it was Russian and spying on British troop movements and logistics. If we had any.
@dharam1718
Practice decreases chance of hesitation when actual action 8s required especially knowing one push of a button is likely be a precursor to deaths of millions of people.
@DomB420
Out in space, two aliens are speaking with each other. The first alien says, “The dominant life forms on planet Earth have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons.”
The second alien asks, “Are they an emerging intelligence?” The first alien replies, “I don’t think so. They have them aimed at themselves.”….
@infin8lycurious
The only real use of nukes is the threat of using them. Even if they are as scary as russia wants to claim, Russia would not survive the counter nuclear strike. Mutually Assured Destruction. Putin can beat his chest all he wants but he isnt suicidal.
