The response should worry sane people. Especially if it seems like NATO did this in reality and called it a Ukrainian action. This could get nasty.
Exactly. Global wars have started with smaller incidents. I fear that Russia is being exposed--at least their military is--and I don't want to test their capabilities if they're backed too far into a corner. Their nuclear capabilities may be similarly inept, but I don't want a few of them launched as a test.
Russia needs an opportunity to back down and de-escalate with Ukraine.
“ The response should worry sane people. Especially if it seems like NATO did this in reality and called it a Ukrainian action. This could get nasty.”
The Ukrainians said, months ago, they were building cruise missiles that would be ready by April.
Maybe true, maybe months old disinformation, either way plausible deniability for NATO.
