So when I see a video of bombs falling in Moscow, the capital of the largest nuclear country on Earth, I become just a bit concerned.
Ukraine could be in for some serious retaliation for an attack on Russia proper

So when I see a video of bombs falling in Moscow, the capital of the largest nuclear country on Earth, I become just a bit concerned.
Do you live in Moscow ?
It's no more concerning than bombs (drones) exploding in Kiev , Odesa or anywhere else in Ukraine , Russia are seeing that their actions have consequences and along with starting the war they are part of the war.
It concerns me a bit as I worry it could be the lever that is used to release tac nukes against Ukraine.

You can see that but can mad ol vlad see it?
I can imagine the arguments going on now about how using a sub 20kit nuke isnt gonna invite a response, how they arent members of nato yet so nato wont respond. As for China, I wouldnt put it past them egging Russia on to make a huge mistake that would allow China to take over vast areas of mineral wealth for peanuts.

Someone conveniently pointing a camera in the right direction at the time of impact.
Draw your own conclusions.

I guess now we know why one must register their drone with the FAA when purchased? I'm just waiting for someone to fly a drone into a Walmart or something in this manner to follow this trend of individuals doing their own thing whilst the mainstream narrative blames it on whoever is polling lower than expected?🙄
