It seems the conflict has escalated, and the fighting is getting closer to the heart of Russia itself.

It seems that even if the drones are shot down, the debris can still cause problems and terrorize their cities.
This whole situation brings to mind a lot of things. One reaction is a clear sense of, “well, this is war.”… Continue reading

The “unknown drones” line, as it’s often phrased, always makes you wonder about the possibilities, which often leads to some creative and humorous theories.… Continue reading
