It does look like it was designed to be a very visible moment.Its sus to me given how the thing exploded with a big flash and then if it was a real explosive, it would throw shrapnel and the dome would show being hit. Seemed to go "poooff" The camera in a perfect angle etc.,
A strategically dropped HT video should odorize the air with the stench of the varnished truth.It does look like it was designed to be a very visible moment.
That doesn't really tell us if it was Russia or Ukraine.
The only story that seems easy to dismiss is the Kremlin one - that it was an assassination attempt on Putin.
Outside of that, it could be a statement move by Ukraine to show they can reach Moscow or it could be a fake out by Putin to justify whatever he wants his next move to be.
I don't think anyone has shown enough evidence to make a convincing argument in either direction yet (and there are probably other options I haven't thought of).
Yes, I dont know you. But it is a reasonable skepticism to have. There are lots of people who bullshit online and claim expertise etc just to win an argument.Lol Why do you think I give a shit what you think?
You don't know me, as you like to emphasize all the time, so why are you making so many assumptions now? For all you know, none of those are applicable. Maybe I'm sad, lonely, unemployed and homeless. You don't know.
But again, I don't really care what you think.
Lol You've brought this up more than once because clearly you're butthurt I asked what your expertise was. I called out a Russian propagandist when he said people who support Ukraine should go fight. I said clearly Putin is unable to achieve air superiority. And I once asked you what your qualifications were. But I've not attempted to claim expertise in order to win an argument. I pointed out you weren't an expert. That's all I did. If you can't handle that without constantly claiming I'm trying to "win" an argument, when I've presented no counter argument to it, go see a shrink.Yes, I dont know you. But it is a reasonable skepticism to have. There are lots of people who bullshit online and claim expertise etc just to win an argument.
I did not claim any expertise. I said I did not have any. You seemed to imply that I did not have any. Given that I did not dispute that, and infact admitted it, you were making an obvious point, that wasn't being disputed. Aka, you were being captain obvious. So there is really nothing there for me to be butt hurt about, but enough there to be annoyed about.Lol You've brought this up more than once because clearly you're butthurt I asked what your expertise was.

Besides, claiming to have read about things and watched YouTube videos is the same thing. You're just claiming your "expertise" is amateur, while I'm saying mine is professional, but aside from saying Putin is clearly unable to establish air superiority, I've presented no opinions no matter how often you repeat this fabrication you've made up in your own head that I'm somehow trying to win an argument despite not having made one. Besides, I'm not the one with hundreds of posts trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about on everything from armour to outcome.
Get over it, Sparky.
Well then go fight yourself, pal!...I don’t think the invasion is unjustified…….
How old am I?You then go on to make this ridiculous statement that you were rejected from enlisting in Ukraine, which is a wholly impractical and idiotic proposition for a man of your age to even attempt, to say the least.
Ok. I already told you I don't care what you think. You can keep bringing up that you don't believe me if you want to.So my conclusion is, that you are full of shit, that you are actually lying about being a veteran, .
How did you become a military strategist? Let me guess, you play video gamesThis idea that you can't oppose something unless you go over there and fight is beyond retarded level thinking.
I mean do I even have to spell out why?
Just because something is fucked up doesn't mean I have to do something about it, there are a lot of fucked up shit out there, most of us do nothing about any of it.
Also yeah, Poutine doesn't want to cause civilian causalities which is why they have been lobbing missiles at civilian targets and infrastructure and the troops on the ground are doing the rape, looting and murder of civies without any effort by the government to do anything about it.
Also no Russia can't flatten Ukraine, It's been lobbing everything they have at it to the point of running out of missiles and it has done jack shit, it could send over bombers to drop dumb bombs but they are easy targets which is why they are being used to lob missiles from far away going nowhere near Ukraine air space. Missiles are expensive as fuck, there is no way they could be used to flatten much of anything. Dumb bombs can but Russia doesn't have the 1000 bomber fleets to do the job. The Americans did and they were targeting Japanese cities that were easy to burn down and months of effort they only took down about 50ish% of the cities. http://www.ditext.com/japan/napalm.html The Russians just don't have the bomber force to lob that much tonnage on cities. With modern tech, city busting just isn't worth it any more, back then, you couldn't hit shit so you had to target wide areas and hope for the best, we just don't have the capacity to lay on such a beating without nukes. Arty can do it, but range issues.
Someone who says and thinks something like this, one has to wonder, gullible, stupid, unaware of ignorance or just plain trolling, based on the statements it has to be some combination. It would be a bit like praising Paul Bernardo for not wanting to hurt women.
"Our community has been around for many years and pride ourselves on offering unbiased, critical discussion among people of all different backgrounds"
This is neither unbiased or critical discussion, this is pure... I donno what it is but it ain't that.
I think you're bluffing and aren't really military at all.How did you become a military strategist? Let me guess, you play video games
This was the second drone strike, the first was 16 minutes earlier. The damage shown in the pictures I posted and the distant video of the roof of the Kremlin on fire was caused by the first strike.Wonder why there were people on the roof of the Kremlin when it happened.
At 2:30 a.m. it wouldn't seem to be an assasination attempt as Putin has not been staying at the Kremlin overnight.It does look like it was designed to be a very visible moment.
That doesn't really tell us if it was Russia or Ukraine.

It doesn't surprise me, since lately they are shifting blame to the US for the war, some Russian tv analysts even calling for it to be called "Bidens war".Why doesn't this surprise me coming from the scumbags who run the Kremlin?
Russia blames US for alleged Kremlin drone attack - BBC News
Oh shit!..... Danny will post about this for MONTHS!!!Why doesn't this surprise me coming from the scumbags who run the Kremlin?
Russia blames US for alleged Kremlin drone attack - BBC News
I wouldn't be surprised if the US had a hand in it. May be they are trying to goad Russia to react in a way that justifies more deadly support for Ukraine.Oh shit!..... Danny will post about this for MONTHS!!!
I do not need to prove shit to you, or anyone else on this board. My DD 214 will stand up on its own. I am simply attempting to give a different viewpoint to a culture (Canada) that has not experienced prolonged war fighting, other than in video games. People will believe what they want to believe. However, I will briefly describe my experience. I spent four years in Force Recon, which later became MARSOC. I spent another four years a regimental commander MARSOC. I then went to work for a company called Blackwater, which later became Triple Canopy. During all that time, I deployed to IRAQ 1 and Iraq 2 and then Afghanistan For a total of 52 combat deployments with almost 72 months in war zones. I currently know several operators in Ukraine. Now call me names and say BS, it will make you feel betterI think you're bluffing and aren't really military at all.
You need to prove it like Jack Teixeira.

Yup we have not experienced prolonged war fighting. Because we aren't warmongers unlike the US.I do not need to prove shit to you, or anyone else on this board. My DD 214 will stand up on its own.
