" ... The U.S. also claimed that President Donald Trump stopped a kinetic retaliation because “150 lives would be at stake.” This translates to either a “look at the big gun that I didn’t use” style of threat or realization that shooting down a drone regardless of air space isn’t really an act of war. It would currently be defined in international norms and sets up a potentially dangerous precedent. Are we really ready for the downing of a drone causing a casus belli? ... "

If he could get his white KAMAZ trucks inside Ukraine, he could destroy a few with false-flag operations to accuse Ukrainian “extremists” of sabotaging the relief effort.
