In recent days, russian FPV drones have begun reaching Kharkiv.
Think about what that actually means.
It means that somewhere, a person is sitting behind a screen, watching a live video feed over a city of more than a million people. They are not firing blindly. They are looking. Searching. Choosing.
And then they strike.
For years, russia has been doing this in Kherson. People became targets simply because they happened to appear on a drone operator’s screen.
Now the same reality is creeping into Kharkiv.
And what I cannot understand is why this no longer causes outrage.
Where is the reaction? Where is the urgency? Where is the outrage over a military deliberately hunting civilians with drones?
When russia launches a massive missile attack, the world notices. Headlines appear. Statements are made.
But FPV drones rarely attract the same attention.
Perhaps because they are small.
Yet there are hundreds of them. Thousands of them. And each one carries the ability to maim, to kill, and to terrorize.
The drone may be small.
The horror is not.
@ShaunPinnerUA What a joke. She, Tucker, all of them, are fre to move to great Russian states of advancement. But they won’t. Because deep down, they know it’s b.s.
Destroying confidence in the electoral system and other pillars of democracy (media, courts) is their goal, it’s not just pathetic whining. Then they use that lack of confidence to push strongman powers, restrictive voter suppression laws, and other crackdowns.

@JakeSherman@RepBrianFitz Republicans with backbone trying to save the GOP and congressional independence, while leadership continues determinedly to finalize its transform it into a syncophantic gangster outfit.
@mobbs_mentality@CKikila Detestable! People trying to defend this or “what about” this in the comments are sick. May Russia never visit war where they live.
