Just witnessed a missile strike on Kyiv city
My newspaper says that the attacks were by Iranian kamikaze drones, so that would explain why they&#x27;re slower and possibly less powerful.<p>These recent attacks are sickening. I don&#x27;t see what Putin is trying to accomplish with them, except for making people hate him even more. I think he&#x27;s trying to provoke a reaction that would use to justify further escalation on his part. The problem is, his only options for further escalation would be full mobilisation or nuclear weapons, and I think both would work out very badly for him. The Russian people wouldn&#x27;t accept full mobilisation (see how they&#x27;re reacting to partial mobilisation!), and NATO will definitely step in once nukes are used.<p>There seems to be no way out for Putin except giving up or this sort of random destruction. He&#x27;s lashing out like a toddler who can&#x27;t have something he wants.<p>Please be safe out there.
