Russian government officials are claiming Ukrainian forces attempted to kill President Vladimir Putin with a failed drone attack.

Officials say two drones were used in the "assassination attempt" at the president's residence within the Kremlin compound, but were disabled by Russian defense systems.

No injuries or damage to the residence was reported. Putin was seen in video and photos released Wednesday meeting with a regional governor outside Moscow.

Are there big drones that can fly all that way? Or maybe smaller ones by special ops units?

~~~

Right.
Putin shows up in public even less often than Biden takes questions from the press. He reportedly spends a lot of time in safety bunkers and will only meet his top personnel, and even then it’s rarely in groups.

Also, I have only seen one of the videos, but the explosion didn’t seem very large. Someone suggested that it was shot down, but even if it was, a smaller explosion should have detonated any larger munitions, no?

I wouldn’t bet the farm that this is false flag, but something smells pretty fake about it.

Drone strike update with video:

This is getting interesting. At the same moment as the drone is flying in, someone is climbing onto the dome.

Could this be Putin’s version of the Reichstag fire or J6?

The funny thing is, Was it the Ukrainians? Or was it someone in the FSB or Russian military? Even Putin is probably uncertain.

Ukraine could have infiltrated a drone team close enough to Moscow, but it’s also possible that this was a home grown assassination attempt now being blamed on the Ukrainians.

The problem in a nutshell: Russia is now ruled by an ex-KGB operative.

Neither Gorbechov nor Zeltin would have okayed an invasion of Ukraine.

For Russia’s sake, and the sake of world peace, this KGB thug should be replaced.

(Not suggesting any US action, merely summarizing the problem and its solution.)

False flag or not what this does is escalate the conflict.

Zelensky is now a direct target as is his whole staff and command structure.

Said it last week, its about to get really nasty. Its here now and watch what happens.

You war whores are just about to get your nuclear conflict you all have been wishing for.

In 125 years few will give a crap about the war, me or you.

Even a limited regional nuclear war will be the greatest (as in awful) event in modern civilizations history.

God I was just thinking if what some here are suggesting. What if it was out idiot Biden and fellow morons like Blinken and WE did it???

Would that be an act of war? What if Russia could prove it? The. Retaliated ? Even not with nukes.

As I’ve suggested before. They could mine the Red Sea, and some ports where supertankers sail. Maybe use submarines and sink a few supertankers.

Biden has thoroughly limited out pipelines and used a good chunk of our strategic oil reserve.

Try TEN dollar cheap gas …q5 dollar most states and say TWENTY dollar cheap diesel next week or two with w0 dollar many states!!! Talk about inflation…we would be screwed.

Sorry about all the typing errors…just the thought of what they could do to our oil supply is freaking me out a tad.

Dont worry about typing errors.

Funny thing about this incident. Zelensky left for Finland.

I suspect it was a group of infiltrators who sent that thing in.
Even so, it matters not one bit. They now have to reason they wanted to target Zelensky and his people.

Notice that Iran has taken to attacking oil tankers now. Tankers on route to the USA.
They know our weak spot and are taking advantage.

Lots of things to put together here. Bidet said no election in 28, this incident, the attacks on oil shipments to the USA, Taiwan, infiltration of Chinese into the USA cross our southern boarder...
