This past week, the Kremlin claimed that Ukraine under the direction of the United States attempted to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin using a drone. The explosions were either a false flag operation staged by the Kremlin or by anti-war Russian groups. It is a classic miscalculation to presume that if you escalate a situation, that the other side will back down or slink away with their tail between their legs. Instead people tend to fight back and continue to escalate a conflict. If the drone strikes were a false flag operation to give a Russia an excuse to attack Ukraine with a tactical nuclear weapon, NATO would militarily get involved, and well, go find yourself a comfy bunker.
