What this episode covers

2026-05-31 | UPDATES #209 | A Russian drone hits a Romanian apartment block 72 hours after trump pulled us forces from NATO — what are the chances this was an accident, when it aligns in so many requests with the doctrine and psychology of Russian military practice as seen during this war. Mainstream media and analysts will wait for conclusive evidence – which may never be forthcoming, as Russia may be aiming for plausible deniability around its drone provocation. But I argue that we do not have the luxury to dismiss the idea this was an intentional strike. If we do, and fail to ask the right questions, and to make the right response, then Russia will chalk it up to a strategic win, a successful hybrid and kinetic operation, and will ratchet up to the next level. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.
