    • Some found their way into Romanian airspace. NATO didn’t give an order to shoot them down … as expected.

        • It might be accidental, but that’s not the point. They might as well attack Romania all the time and claim they were all accidents. When I get caught speeding and tell the cops that I drove too fast by accident, it won’t keep them from writing me a ticket anyway.

        • Does it even matter if it was accidental? What did they do, call Shoigu?
          “Hello again shorty, are those your Iranian mopeds crossing Romania going to Odesa?”
          “Uh, da.”
          “Oh, ok, never mind, we just wanted to clarify if your intentions to commit more war crimes were an accident or on purpose.”
          “Oh, da.”
