What the fuck are you smoking? Russia has been bombing at will, but if the Ukrainians strike back, it's an escalation?

Similarly speaking When USA invaded Iraq and set up a base camp. The Iraqis does a sneak attack or bomb the base causing the lives of American Troops.
The Iraqis are escalating the attack and the Americans have every right to respond in kind to deter the enemy's advances and aggression in order to protect the lives of their ground troops.

it is reciprocity but it is also escalation, noting each tit for tat escalates the war. you were in the army right ? surely you understand this notion?
the US government had until recently been very careful not to support attacks against russian soil, as they were unsure how russia would respond.
we are now in a phase where this reluctance is being reduced somewhat. the russia's do not appear to have responded heavily and therefore the expectation is that ukraine will carry out more and more strikes like this.

it remains to be seen what comes of these actions, but they are an escalation, and it leaves the door open as to how the russians will, in turn, escalate the conflict further.

its the same as the f16's, they are an escalation of the conflict, and again, it remains to be seen how russia responds (escalates).

Ruscists & Genocide enablers, drinking sewer oil and grinding their own meat ? Believe me: they are Insane. They are insulting & provoking others posters to make a distraction:

Russia agressed Ukraine and did war crimes. Ukraine has all the the rights ro defend itself, the threat has to be neutralized.

Peace. :blush:

Russia bravely protecting itself from the terrible Nato agression:
Russian missile hits Zaporizhzhia apartments

It is *not* escalation. I'd agree if they were using American missiles instead of homemade drones. But tit for tat is continuation, not escalation. Escalation is taking it to a higher degree. Navy, not Army.
The US has been very careful to make sure American hardware isn't aimed into Russia itself, so as to not give Russia an excuse to claim that the US is fighting the war rather than supporting Ukraine's fight. Russia would be justified in complaining about fighting the US. But Russia doesn't get to complain about fighting Ukraine.
