    I had similar questions. How would they benefit from this, and why would they do it a day after the US verbally agreed to most of their demands? Is this a false-flag operation?

      That’s the weird part.

      I wouldn’t imagine Ukraine would ever do something so reckless.

      But Russia has nothing to gain, peace talks are about to start with heavily favoring Russia

      So all I can assume is it could be a third party that doesnt want the peace talk to happen at all, and did this to further destabalize the situation?

      I dunno it’s just super fucking weird overall. Why chernybol of all things, no one, not even putin, would want that thing to start popping off… right?

      That attack for all intents and purposes should be viewed by the world as no different than a failed nuclear launch, really.

      And everyone is too pussy to do anything about it.

        That’s a really interesting point I hadn’t considered. It could certainly be some extremist third-party, or even some unknown faction of one of the sides, trying to stir things up. Hmm, the British MI6 gets up to some pretty crazy antics, and they would be fairly far away from the fallout?
