Gray hat, or question mark hat. I am not convinced that he’s a white hat, but I don’t think he’s a black hat either. Maybe just a kind of socially dumb hat, that saw the attempt to turn this into Russia’s Pearl Harbor and made a major move to prevent it.
Sadly, the US deep state has been using its spy planes extensively to assist Ukraine in their war. Anything to protect the Azov gang, and those bio-labs. Of course, they can’t fly without being noticed by Russia either. Somewhere, near Moscow, there’s a “Monkeywerksky” guy watching the skies.
