“Flying drones into Moscow only validates the premise that Ukraine presents an existential threat to Russia that must be eliminated.”
And what threat was Ukraine to your beloved Russia back in 2014?
In Feb 2014 the democratically elected president of Ukraine was ousted by fascist extremists after months of western backed violence and intimidation. A deep state controlled puppet government was then installed in Kiev.
Absent constitutional order, the Eastern Ukrainian provinces comprising the Donbas chose self determination over fascism, and when that became untenable due to Kiev regime extremism and violence, they chose to align themselves with Russia and fight back.
Having suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Russian backed Donetsk and Luhansk militias at Debaltsevo in 2015, the Kiev regime along with their deceitful Western allies signed the Minsk agreements (which we now know they never intended to implement), essentially freezing the conflict. For the next eight years the Kiev regime and their western sponsors maintained the pretense of negotiation for Donbas autonomy and reintegration while clandestinely rebuilding their military power (with direct Western support) and strengthening their fortifications along the line of contact.
Having installed a corrupt US President via rigged elections in 2020, the path was clear to provoke a war with Russia. This deep state plan was initially intended to take place four years earlier, but Donald Trump upset the apple cart by beating Hillary Clinton.
