I have no feelings either way. Don't misconstrue me with one of the emotional hedonists that frequent the forum.

Russia Hits NATO Member Romania With Kamikaze Drone

A Russian kamikaze drone on Wednesday flew into NATO air space and detonated near a Romanian village, Ukrainian news reports said, but official Bucharest said the fact of the strike wasn’t confirmed and that they would check.
The Kremlin has said it only hits military targets or critical infrastructure in Ukraine. Kyiv officials have said the Russian bombardment mostly strikes Ukrainian homes and businesses and accused strike planners of complicity in war crimes.

40 clicks from the front?

Amid scepticism about Ukraine’s prospect of achieving outright victory, Syrskyi noted various positive developments. F-16s would strengthen Ukraine’s air defences. They would allow Kyiv to work more effectively against Russian cruise missiles and to hit ground targets accurately. However, there were limits to what F-16s might achieve, he stressed. They had to remain “40km or more” from the frontline because of the risk Moscow would shoot them down.
Russia had “superior aviation” and “very strong” air defences.
Because of this Ukraine was increasingly turning to unmanned aerial systems, Syrskyi said

If it is in their interest, will the Europeans end up breaking away from the Americans and making peace in Ukraine?

In reality, it is not about the Europeans, but about Germany, the only country in Europe that is really important to the Americans. Brzeziński, the former security adviser to American President Jimmy Carter, explains this very well. The USA originally did not want to build an empire, but was drawn into the Second World War. In the end, they had to deal with the industrial powers of Japan and Germany, which are now the pillars of the American system of rule.

So it's about whether Germany separates itself from the Americans and stands up for peace in Ukraine. Germany will decide whether an endless war will continue or whether peace will return. In this sense, Germany must live up to its responsibility as a leading power in Europe. We are all waiting in Europe for Berlin to end the war.
