    I think the bigger issue is that this can be used to label Ukrainian drone strikes as hostile actions to American interests and as an excuse for the US to roll back sanctions, stop weapon transfers, and even provide support to Putin.

    It’s a very cynical thought that I hope is impossible but with how the American leadership is behaving lately I unfortunately wouldn’t write it off.
