Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[Dinner]

A Ukrainian drone blew up a flag poll on top of the Kremlin so Putin lies and claims it was an assassination attempt against him even though he was no where near the flag poll.

I thought Russia has top notch air defence and jamming capabilities. Maybe it was just one of those Russia-operated Iranian drones straying off course

A little chitchat about the situation. Though, a minor incident seems to have happened somewhere in the occupied area - back in the past there was an outbreak of anthrax and a number of animals was buried with lots of warnings, so what did the russian army do - well they apparently dug trenches across the site and now has infected troops

[pchang]

Well, Russian troops dug up the Red Forest and irradiated themselves earlier. So, this is not surprising at all.

"Ukrainian".

I find it highly suspect that they managed to hit the flag pole.

[-Jrabbit]

Claimed range of the claimed drone = 500 miles
Distance from Kiev to Moscow = 535 miles
Likelihood this was a Ukrainian attack = pretty damned tiny.

[Dauphin]

Why would the drone need to launch from Ukraine to be Ukrainian? Anyone with a drone could mount a grenade or can of petrol on it to make the explosion seen. Including Ukrainian commando / special ops. I am not saying it was, but a launch from Ukraine is clearly not required for a Ukrainian offensive here. Caveat on my comment - I have no sense of how big the drone in the footage would be, which may be a limiter.

In recent days

Several Russian cities have announced they will scale back this year's Victory Day celebrations.

Let's see if things go ahead in Moscow still now. Could give Vlad an opportunity to appear heroic when his doppelgänger shows up for the parade despite all this danger to his life....

If they tried it on Trump it would be more likely to work

[Berzerker]

Berz, your Nuland comment was a convenient deflection, not addression the Dinner post you were quoting.
It happens a lot. Increasingly, in my view. Just an observation.

I'm really just hoping for a little more cohesion in the thread. Makes for easier reading.

I didn't quote him, he responded to my comment about Nuland

"Crimea, as an internationally recognized part of Ukraine, has always been a legitimate target."

Okay... I didn't argue otherwise, I just dont see why its relevant to my theory Nuland was warning Russia.

The flag pole blew up the drone and of course it was an assassination attempt, the flag pole got it in the way.

[Berzerker]

Scott Horton doesn't think it was an assassination attempt, just a message to Putin and morale boost for Ukrainians. All depends on what was onboard, the explosion was from fuel when the wing was torn off by the flagpole. I hope they dont find "made in USA" on it and a large explosive that failed to detonate.

[BeBMan]

An ass-ass-ination of Putin would make him a triple ass. At least.

[N35t0r]

Now it's the USA's fault.

[PLATO]

Now it's the USA's fault.

Serb will bury us!

[BeBMan]

[pchang]

More likely for Serb to suffer a myocardial infarction while trying to dig the grave.

[BeBMan]

Now it's the USA's fault.

First they made Putin attack Ukraine, now this. Was Putin ever in control of anything

[Berzerker]

Putin could have watched as Nazis slaughtered eastern Ukrainians and ignored the Russians who wanted to help defend them, but the USA wouldn't sit by as Russia toppled the Mexican govt and sent an army north to attack "separatists" along our border.

Biden supporters accused Trump of being a threat to Nato and Joe has a rebellion on his hands because of the neocon war in Ukraine. Why would our Nato allies blame the USA? Our empire is collapsing, lets go Brandon.

Yes. He should've watched as Nazis slaughtered eastern Ukrainians because as anyone who has followed 21st military interventions should know, invading a country to stop slaughters as a rule massively increases the slaughter. Putin's decision to military intervene was incredibly stupid. Furthermore there is zero evidence of ethnic cleansing in pre-special operation independent Ukraine, so there really wasn't any 'slaughter' to watch, let alone stop.

Also, if shelling civilian areas during a hot war is 'slaughtering', then any planned intervention to stop that, should, at a bare minimum, refrain from shelling civilian areas dontcha think?
