I could not help but laugh, the drone attack on the Kremlin in the lead up to Russian World War II celebrations was truly remarkable. Yes, we saw the footage of the drones explode close to the Kremlin, but please – come on. That had to be the smallest drone explosion in the Ukrainian invasion and fightback.

Was this a Ukrainian plot to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin? The Ukrainians have been known to target military assets within Russian borders, but the Kremlin has no military value whatsoever. There seems to be an increase in train derailments including refinery and fuel depot fires attributed to the Russian resistance movement. This is unlikely to be Ukraine though, this is more likely to be an internal uprising.

What was even funnier, there were clearly two people climbing up and onto the roof when the drones approached. Yes, the drones did explode over the Kremlin; however, their explosive force was so weak it didn’t even knock the flagpole over, and the drone exploded right alongside the flagpole. Sure, the flag fluttered a little, but even that wasn’t damaged. So we are supposed to believe the Ukrainian military flew a drone all the way from Ukrainian territory through Russian airspace all the way to the Kremlin, the most heavily guarded building in Moscow, most likely in all of Russia without enough explosives to knock a flag pole over – give it up.

Then, after Ukrainian denials the Kremlin tried to frame this as an American plot to assassinate Putin in the Kremlin. If the US wanted to strike the Kremlin, they would have flattened the entire structure with any one of the stealth weapons they have at their disposal. The Russians did not want to damage the Kremlin, they wanted to put on enough of a show for the camera to justify to an internal audience that they are protecting the people of Russia against the fascists when they really need to fear the fascists in the Kremlin.
