Notice that Hillary Clinton, Joe & Mika all smile and nod at Olena Zelenska (like our very own Zeepers) as if this massive load of BS is true.

Sounds like the hogwash that comes out of a Zelensky. She should stick to her main job, shopping with US taxpayer money.

Remember when Hillary said she dodged sniper fire in the Balkans?

Well they have found video footage and it’s so horribly TRUE:

--- "Notice that Hillary Clinton, Joe & Mika all smile and nod..."

This is what a number of rubberstamps on these threads do, until one observes they are aligning their stances with Obama, Biden, the Clintons, MSNBC and more. Epstein did not kill himself, but Clinton did wipe her server -- with a cloth. Yuck, yuck. Don't forget cackle, cackle.

Yes, a small little cheap drone that the woman thinks burglars were using to scope out empty apartments by coming up to the balconies and checking through the windows and doors.

“Elena told the outlet that she was sitting on her balcony smoking just before dawn when she heard a buzzing noise and saw something floating.

At first she thought it was a bird, but then she realised it was something else, she said.

The nearest heavy thing was a jar of pickles under her chair, per Elena’s account.

Per Liga.Life, Elena was most concerned with correcting claims that the pickled vegetables were cucumbers. She said they were actually tomatoes with plums.

“I don’t know where the fables about cucumbers came from,” she said.

The outlet said that Elena broke up the wrecked drone and and puts its remains in separate trash cans for fear that it could still be running tracking or recording software.

It was not clear who was operating the drone. Her description does not match the types of heavy, military drone used to launch weapons, but would fit a smaller commercial drone meant mainly to record images.

Elena told Liga.Life that she thinks the drone was being operated by looters trying to identify empty homes to steal from.

Afterwards, she told the outlet, she swept the street of debris so that dogs on the street wouldn’t cut their paws.”

The Jimmy Dore Show
BOMBSHELL! Zelensky’s Pro-Russian Speech Uncovered!
5/18/23

“Before becoming the worst thorn in the Russian bear’s paw, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was decidedly pro-Russian, during one recently resurfaced interview declaring Ukrainians and Russians “brothers” and insisting that Russian speakers in Ukraine be allowed to continue speaking their language.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the difference a few years in power and death threats from neo-Nazi constituents can make. ...”

Thanks for the full description.
This sounds believable. I know very little about drones, and the typical variations for commercial use.
So the smaller lighter models would likely be used in this case.

It makes sense that wannabe looters would want to take a peek on what exists inside apparently abandoned homes. All countries have their Looter Classes, lurking in the shadows.

Good shot! More range time not required.

Drone use by burglars is going to become a problem, imagine the ability to check the yards for dogs, whether cars are in the driveway, which model of cars are available for stealing or parts, etc all without having to enter the neighborhood or gated community until you are ready to make your theft raid.

Think of camping in an area of mostly empty summer or winter cabins and being able to research and plan your quick in-and-out burglary strikes from your campsite or motor home, or car.

Maybe there’s already some kind of motion detection device which let’s the home owner know if any drones have been flying overhead below a certain altitude and within a certain time frames. It’s a defensive response vs offensive. Better than nothing.

Sounds like Zelenskaskyy has been listening to the Pedo Demento’s crazy stories again. Jo Jo ain’t right in the head. You’re not supposed to take him seriously.

Sure, everyone stores their pickles under their chairs on the balcony.

People do eat on their balconies, they even cook on their balconies, they eat, drink, snack, and even dine, smoke, and watch TV on their balconies.

Now if it was a small commercially available drone and she had a good arm, I can see it happening.
