Germany accuses Russia of drone attack on Leipzig airport
Germany accuses Russia of an August drone attack on Leipzig airport, citing evidence of Russian state ties; it summoned Moscow’s ambassador, closed two institutions, and seeks EU sanctions. Russia rejects claims as fabricated, with allies backing Germany.
Back in the day when War meant fielding large armies and trying to take physical control, attacking more countries at this point wouldn't be a very good idea. Today however, when it's more about destroying the energy infrastructure and economic engine of your adversary, it's not such a bad strategy. The other NATO countries are providing the support the Ukies need to keep fighting, and by punishing them for providing that support it makes it more economically and politically costly.
Focusing the attacks on Germany as the most economically powerful sends a message that Vlad intends to make them pay for their support, so now they will try to further sanction Russia. Except they've already sanctioned them about as much as possible, and as long as the Chinese continue to align with Russia and provide a market, that allows Russia to survive economic sanctions.
This could be the beginning of the war expanding to the rest of Europe and a fusion with the Iran war. Amerikan bases in Germany and Poland are likely targets. How it progresses from there is anybody's guess, but the prognosis isn't good no matter how you cut it.
