Russia May Attack the Baltic States with Ukrainian Drones – Lithuanian Intelligence

The greater awareness of this before russia inevitably tries it, the more this backfires on russia. If everyone knows this is coming than it becomes some weird violent admission by russia that Ukrainian drones are better and no fight between enemies of russia occurs.

Makes sense. Ukraine diverting precious resources to attack an ally.

Doesn't matter because it's propaganda that's meant to make people angry. If anything it's better if the story doesn't make too much sense because it lets folks fill in the gaps with whatever works for them.

Does that count a perfidy, in a war crimes sense? It seems like it would but I don't want to make baseless accusations.

Geneva Convention, Protocol I, Article 39.2:

It is prohibited to make use of the flags or military emblems, insignia or uniforms of adverse Parties while engaging in attacks or in order to shield, favour, protect or impede military operations.

So yes, I believe that would actually cover it.

It's like watching Gillian come up with war plans
