A few drones hit a critical railway junction in Crimea, hitting a train the Ukrainians say was carrying russki cruise missiles.

There are rumors online that these drones were captured Iranian ones, who were previously reprogrammed mid-air and forced to land.

The 1st pictures of the drone debris are coming out now...

According to what I'm reading about the Putin - Xi meeting, Russia is basically postrating itself at China and becoming increasingly subservient to it. It seems to me that the biggest winner from the Russia - Ukraine war is going to be China.

If it results in adult supervision of the Kremlin then a Pax Sinica will have an upside.

I hope this helps clarify things for the West on China.
Let's bomb Russia!
