Russia has now attacked a US factory and British and EU diplomatic buildings in Ukraine. It is directly attacking Western powers, which is new. Is this a response to Ukraine’s successful attacks on Russian oil refineries?

    I guess they think that no matter what happens, they can spin it in a positive light.

    A reaction from affected countries: “See? We knew Ukraine is controlled by NATO powers, they operate within Ukrainian borders! We must continue and fight the threat!”

    No reaction: “See? They know that Russia has the superior military! They don’t date to strike anyways, we can continue in Ukraine without them retaliating!”

    Of course, both these statements are dumb, but they’ll use something like these for internal consumption.
