    This is clearly a response to the US allowing strikes inside Russia.

    Interesting timing to do that when Ukraine, Germany and Russia have been gearing up to negotiate an end to the war next year. Wonder if this is to give the west more leverage in the negotiations or to escalate to give the republican admin next year a tougher time.

      So you’re saying Russia has never struck inside Ukraine. Or somehow The US started the war in Ukraine.

      Or is it just a freaking stupid idea that one nation can attack another. And expect them not to retaliate.

      Threatening nuclear war under these circumstances is definitely an interesting timing.
