Re: Russian aircraft drone attack

NATO needs to be Very careful and not run in - all blazing, the Peace conference is today and all sides need to be locked in a room till Peace comes out from the meeting.

Remember - Any escalation that could involve nukes will lead to a World Destruction scenario.
