Sergey Shoigu stated that drone strikes on Russian territory are being recorded via Finland and the Baltic states, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.
"In this context, Article 51 of the UN Charter on the right to self-defense may be invoked."
Hal Turner Analysis
Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are shown on the map above with their country names circled in red.
As a result of Drone attacks launched against Russia the Russian government is now openly saying they may choose to ATTACK Finland and the Baltic states in self defense. All of them are NATO members.
Instead of attacking those countries, I have to wonder: (Am I still allowed to wonder?) Wouldn't it be far easier, quicker, and more effective, for Russia to send military units discreetly into those countries with Orders to KILL the people giving the orders to send those drones?
It doesn't matter who it is - Russia could just kill them.
Then Russia could announce they killed them, and say why - showing proof.
This would, I think, dissuade anyone ELSE from making the same bad decisions as the dead folks made, and would likely (in my view) solve the problem without having to smash and destroy entire countries.
Moreover, The United States and Israel have just set the precedent for this, by intentionally targeting and deliberately killing, members of Iran's sitting government.
If it "ok" for the US and Israel to target and kill Iranian government officials, it seems perfectly logical to me that Russia can now target and kill the officials inside Finland and the Baltic States, without fear of world condemnation or even NATO Article 5.
