The attack was described as a double tap strike. 15 people dead and about 130 people wounded.

Both Russia and Ukraine have put on clinics on how to terrorize an enemy with drone warfare. When you see attacks like this take place it really shows just how far behind the United States is when it comes to drone warfare.

Not exactly. Hitting a soft target like a shopping mall isn’t indicative of cutting edge drone technology, just a sign of the desperation and moral degradation that comes with years of warfare especially by totalitarian states.

I’m sure that the U.S. is behind in drone production, technology, and strategy of two countries that have been actively fighting for their lives with it for years. However, you don’t know what research, technology, and strategy the U.S. is developing. We probably have some things that have not been disclosed.

Remember when Bunk and the other dims were obsessed about Trump “double tapping” the honest fishermen? Or when they moved on to the Joos “double tapping” the Islamic Regime’s school for girls? Seems like years ago but was only 7 months.

I imagine many countries are studying this war and coming up with fundamentals of drone warfare. It is a real life study. Sadly people are getting killed.

Russia isn’t exactly following the law of war.

I don’t see how Putin remains in power regardless of what the end result is. He’ll never be able to leave Russia again.

People want to arrest Bibi, how about Putin?

The blood of thousands of Ukrainian children and grandmas is on his hands.

How is right, nothing special about a double tap strike. Even mass shooters do this crap.

During the bombing of Japan the first wave of bombers would drop Napalm to set entire cities on fire, the next wave dropped cluster bombs to kill anyone trying to put out the fires or rescue people.

We invented double tap bombing, killing 100K people in Tokyo in a single night.

We used to know how to win a war. Then we became pussies

War is terrible and should be avoided until all options are exhausted. But if it’s necessary there should be no rules, you play to win and remind the world what happens when diplomacy and negotiation fail. You make war so terrible that it incentivizes both sides to avoid it

How is hitting a shopping mall any different than hitting Baghdad in 1991 with a Tomahawk missile?

“Sounds like a war crime”? Have you been asleep? Putin has long been a master of the policy…

Because we don't attack civilian centers by choice, we don't have the capability? That's that a huge leap in logic!

They are at war with each other. These things tend to happen during an active , live, hot war.
