They did this for the second time, they need to have consequences for this kind of shit. Ffs, russia is like a deranged neighbor for whole Europe and we have to casually deal with the shit they do.

Wtf at #3. They fired a live missile during a military exercise? Even if it were a military target, wouldn’t that have shot them down too?

Sadly, Russian training seems to end at reading the manual and documentation.

I do not have to worry about saying this out in the open, or show even mild concern discussing this outside my semi-anonymous pseudonym.
