You don't have 'facts' you have excuses why Russia's actions are justified, ergo apologist.
A tractor was hit, it wasn't at the front of my thoughts, but I had read it.
It's not topic of my OP is it? Just whataboutism from an apologist.

I think the fact that Russia took responsibility so quickly, speaks volumes. This wasn't a simple accident. There's much more to the story.
Im all ears.
OP believes it to be obvious incompetence.
I think this maybe showing how thread bare the Russian military has become. Whether it be the pilot training ( or political inclination towards the war ) or the equipment being sub maintained.

So you also believe it to be incompetence:

So, as another poster noted, we can disperse with the "after Ukraine, Europe is next!!" trope?

I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'm stating my opinion on Russia bombing it's own city and what I think happened.
Let's stick to the topic or we're creating thread drift

Yes, I recognize you stating your opinion.
Simply following through with the logic applied.
If russia is this incompetent then the impetus for continuing and rising western aid seems quite silly.

We were all kind of afraid of its military now it looks like the only thing they're really good at is 'slapstick warfare'
Yea, like Ukraine did when they were calling for Article 5 and it was their missile.
Good times...
I don't think Article 5 can be invoked on yourself, if you bomb yourself.
Yes, it was a low day for Ukraine, as it proved Zelenskyy will lie through his teeth to his Western "allies" if it can somehow benefit him. Shame, shame...
Interesting. No one cares about the tractor....well maybe the owners of said tractor care.
