Summary

Ukraine launched its largest drone attack on Moscow since the war began in 2022, injuring one person and disrupting flights at major airports. Moscow intercepted 34 drones, and fires were reported in nearby villages.

The attack coincided with a U.K. report estimating October as Russia’s deadliest month, with 1,500 Russian casualties daily, totaling 700,000 losses since the conflict began.

Meanwhile, Russia launched 145 drones against Ukraine, hitting Odesa and damaging multiple buildings. Zelensky also reported that North Korean troops, deployed to support Russia, have faced casualties in combat against Ukrainian forces.

      EDIT: By all means, downvote a literal and factual statement, chickenhawks.

      It should be noted that opposing the US becoming entangled in foreign wars isn’t treason.

            It isn’t directly, it’s aimed at your specious claim that it’s foreign wars, not them being actual, factual traitors to the country is why they’re being called traitors.

            If republicans didn’t hold the whole process hostage, they’d be legally traitors instead of it just being obvious to anyone with a working brain.

                  What’s lazy is this McCarthyist nonsense you and yours are spewing here.

                  I’m anti-war.

                  Doesn’t make me a traitor, whereas you and yours have never seen a war you dislike, even though we keep learning that the past three decades have seen the US go to war over and over again based on false premises.

    We are at the tit for tat stage now. Attack Kyiv, we attack Moscow. Attack civilian target we attack oil storage.

        It is. Game theory 101. If you want behaviour to stop this is how you do it.

        Edit: it’s good to see Ukraine kan now reliably accomplish this.

          Yep. Most successful strategy with an opponent who can’t or won’t discuss terms is simply to retaliate as often as they betray you.

            it is literally the only strategy. force a stalemate. if you judge your opponent is capable of change, then generous tit-for-tat is a productive alternative. putin is not such an opponent.

              You seem to agree and disagree with me in the same comment.

              Every human being is capable of change. Hitler was even capable of change; he killed himself when he realized he lost.

        Usually civilian targets are avoided because it galvanizes the population’s opinion to pro war but in Russia’s case it doesn’t seem to matter much anymore.

    1,500 casualties DAILY?! Russia must be getting even sloppier than before.

      Officers want dachas with gold toilets too, you know. And they know where to get funding for them.
