It’s been said from reliable sources that the tiny Zelensky personally piloted the small manned aircraft into the Kremlin himself, supposedly only bailing out at the last second with his parachute made from a small handkerchief. My infallible sources tell me he is currently at large in the Moscow countryside.

You gotta be careful about the Kherson Cat account in particular. They tend to add NWS/NMS things to posts that were previously safe before. It's probably best to just not embed tweets from that account and just screenshot+post them instead to make sure they won't change on you after the fact.

My take is they refuse to admit they've lost yet again and are doubling down for the 5th time so they do actually need another draft as some leaks have reported. The first one wasn't exactly cheered by the populace as a heroic endeavor and they had to force people into it. A second draft would be much worse.

So operating on the terms where you must continue the war when most of your army has died then you must do a second, bigger, more ugly draft. This draft would be different than the first as everyone realizes the first draft failed and those people mostly died. They also have less people to draft after throwing the infirm and elderly at the trenches already so this draft will cut deeper. It would be received worse as they will have to force more people at gunpoint to go die like the original conscripts.

In stupid strategic terms they also probably are going to try to do a bigger draft because they obviously think the problem is lack of foot soldiers. The more people they have to force at gunpoint to their deaths the worse it looks domestically and internationally.

I'm not saying that kremlin attack is fake but it honestly looks like a WWE pyrotechnic explosion like Kane came out of the kremlin and raised his hands while the flag symbolically poofed up in smoke in a fireball. It looks extremely lovely so it's down to if you think Ukraine sent extremely lovely drones to target the flag as a symbolic gesture or if Russia set off some fireworks on their own flag to manipulate their population into thinking they are under attack and to try and generate a patriotic response like the Dollar Tree equivalent of the world trade center attacks where they didn't want to use actual missiles or actually destroy anything.

It's just a saying that Russians have, it doesn't mean anything. Like, when we say "I don't like this" or "gently caress you" they say "I'm threatening you with nuclear retaliation!"

Be nice to Willo, it can't be easy to have your balls be under nuclear crosshairs.

The funny thing about this drone attack on the Kremlin is that no matter whether it was a Russian false flag or a legitimate Ukrainian harassment strike, or even a local anti-war partisan, no possible interpretation makes Russia look good or sympathetic. Personally I like the theory that Ukraine conducted the attack to basically troll Putin in front of the world. A drone attack on the central government building of the Russian Federation and all they do is blow up the flag on top of the building is hilarious because of the implications therein that they could have done much more and instead chose to just humiliate Putin on a grand and very public scale.

Yeah it ultimately doesn't matter who did it. The only thing that really matters is that it happened and as a direct effect of Russia's invasion, there was a drone attack on the Kremlin. Whether it was a result of Ukraine orchestrating an attack or Russia doing it themselves for ~reasons~ or something else, they started an invasion and now their capital is under attack. They could just go home and stuff like that wouldn't need to happen.

We could probably get a pretty funny Leprechaun movie out of this tbh. Putin finds the pot of gold and takes some of the shillings and the Leprechaun unleashes the Ukrainians to get his gold back, complete with the Leprechaun piloting the drone himself as he smokes a cigar and says putin won't like these lucky charms as the drone hits the kremlin

Supposedly Putin promised to the prime minister of Israel that he would not be killed, but that was a long long time ago

Hearing reports that it was publicly known that Putin was not even at the Kremlin on the date of the attack, so I don't think it was too serious an assassination attempt...

Enough for an entire wiki article:

Wikipedia posted:

During the conflict there were conflicting accounts of the number of assassination attempts made against Zelenskyy. Presidential advisor Podoliyak referenced the issue while speaking to the Ukrainian Pravda news outlet, saying, "Our foreign partners are talking about two or three attempts. I believe that there were more than a dozen attempts"

I figured this is what causes things like that missile attack a few days ago since it made no strategic sense

Whoever is making decisions in the military is feeling real anxious that they broke their army on a city that never mattered in a draft surge that has now completely failed. So realizing they are losing ground and need more troops the generals want to look important and proactive and are trying to not trip out of a window somewhere for failure
