Using unmarked civilian trucks to commit an attack with solders likewise not in uniform is a war crime for a reason. It places civilians at unnecessary risk of becoming targets. It is not clever or innovative, it is a clear violation of the conventions of war, it is a brazen disregard for the lives of civilians namely Ukrainian civilians. Now every truck in Ukraine can be considered a viable military target as there is no way to distinguish between a load of food and a mobile weapons platform. One that could be carrying ordinance with far greater range than a drone. Standing armies are supposed to protect civilians not hide behind them.

It’s straight-up terrorism, and the zeepers are gloating about it.

Hilarious.

A war crime? Attacking military bases in the middle of a war.

Endangering civilians. Now that is funny.

Have you ever heard of a war before?

Well said!

The Ukrainian Runt obviously had help, and it seems the only country still willing and able to stick its nose into this disaster are the Germans.

I sure hope it wasn’t them. The Russians have absolutely not forgotten what the Germans did in the early 1940s in Eastern Europe, including Russia, and the Germans would be stupid to forget the Red Army invasion of 1945.

God help us if this Germany versus Russia conflict starts again. It was at the heart of both World Wars in the last century, and Russia has enough nukes to evaporate all of Western Europe if it comes down to ‘Last Man Standing’ options.

This drone attack might seem a clever victory to Zelensky, but it was an incredibly stupid and needless escalation that proved no more than that Ukraine has some very stupid allies.

Get ready for the boomerang.

OMG! The zippy lovers will not like your comment at all.

But personally, there’s much truth to what you say.

It is not clever or innovative, it is a clear violation of the conventions of war...

But invading a country which has neither attacked nor threatened yours is AOK, right?
