Well, it's definitely not because NATO is an instrument of empire intended to strategically surround the US' only competitor as a nuclear superpower. That's Rashist propaganda.

Its very funny for them to become be sticklers over this since Bandera himself could have plugged in the coordinates to blow away those polish bastards on purpose and they'd still be fine. As it is it reads exactly like the conservative/oppo element are saying: They want to drag us in.

Ukraine specifically said their war plan, which they have executed nearly to the tee, requires drawing NATO in.

Could they have deliberately targeted that grain silo with an anti-missile missile? Or is an accident that they're making use of more likely?

there's no reason to assume it's a false flag like that. but they've been looking for an excuse to get NATO more involved for a long time, it's just taking advantage of the circumstances

Just an accident they jumped all over. Something intentional would be more dramatic than a tractor and two farmers. Considering the risk it would need to be worthwhile.

Well, the US did most of its most expensive fighting in the initial months of that war, in terms of materiel. After that they took every chance they could to pair it down until they needed a surge or a show of force to try and keep up appearances. While the taliban did use mortars and other artillery the war wasn't a massive slugfest for most of its timeline, so yeah I'd imagine a full on war for almost for a year is going to turn more expensive per month as the fighting grows more intense and the US is more secure in the fact that Russia won't just immediately flatten Ukraine and take all their stuff they just donated.

Ground attack for s300 missiles dates to 1979 iirc so presumably it's within Ukraine's capability. Doubt that's what happened though.

(Btw, there is a case to be made that simply dragging this all out is not to the benefit of really anyone either, except I don't know, China.)

What is Russia losing by extending this if they are limiting casualties? A little unrest at home but mostly everyone ignores it? The cost of munitions, balanced against increased oil and gas profits?

Between those two possibilities, the second is more likely
