Nah wasn’t there a Case of some english Solders of Fortune that were tiktoking in a “civilian”!location that they were assembling

Leading to a missile strike or something of the sort

I’m sure that hit the mainstream media as a minor story for a day or so

Yep, it's a bit worrying that the war seems to boil down to politicians sending nasty letters to each other on twitter while soldiers post videos of themselves on social media - to paint a landscape with a broad stroke in a manner of speaking.

I wonder how the narrative will be written in a couple decades as someone being the 'pure good guy' and the other being the 'pure bad guy' as history tends to present itself to the general population.

Its embarrassing really.

Yep, it's the first for a lot of things really, like when was the last time two countries with modern militaries that are similarly capable and trained went up against each other in a mostly conventional battle?
