War Comes Home For Russian Civilians
Less than a month after the Kremlin accused Kyiv of trying to assassinate Vladimir Putin with unmanned aerial vehicles, the Russian capital was targeted again.
A small fleet of drones flew into Moscow on Tuesday in what looked like the first Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilian areas since the onset of the war 15 months ago.
All of the drones were either shot down or disabled, but a trio of apartment buildings suffered cosmetic damage in what the Russian government unironically called a "terr
Exculpatory! Great word.
It certainly feels as if we haven’t done enough given that this has gone on for 15 months. The military support for Ukraine has been great for their defense, but it feels as if we need to provide more aggressive weaponry to force Putin to stop this senselessness. It has been suggested that the total sum of seized Russian assets should be transferred to Ukraine. Given the terrorist attacks and inhumane treatment they’ve received at the hands of the Russians, it makes a lot of sense to me. That would enable Ukraine to purchase their own military arms with Russian money to use against the Russians who are attacking them almost daily. That level of humiliation would have to cause some impact, one would think.
Also, given that Putin is using mass amounts of Iranian sourced drones for these attacks, it feels like we need to step up the sanctions on them.
