US, Kyiv cannot 'disown' drone attack on Kremlin.
Russia has accused Ukraine of trying to assassinate Putin.
White House, Kyiv deny Russian accusations of involvement.
Russian drones target Kyiv, other cities.
Zelenskiy visits The Hague, says Putin must face justice.
KYIV, May 4 (Reuters) - Russia said on Thursday that the United States was behind an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin aiming to kill President Vladimir Putin, and air raid sirens sounded again in Kyiv as darkness fell following attacks the previous night.
Reuters witnesses heard gunfire and repeated heavier explosions near the centre of Kyiv. Residents who made their way to air raid shelters told Reuters they saw drones in the air. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, speaking in The Hague after visiting the International Court of Justice (ICC), said Putin must be brought to justice over the war and that Kyiv would work to create a new tribunal for this purpose.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov, without providing evidence, said Ukraine had acted on U.S. orders with the alleged drone attack on the Kremlin citadel in the early hours of Wednesday.

Aside from its repetition being annoying as hell, I fail to see what that gif has to do with this news/allegation ?
No, the U.S. is not behind the janky drone stuffed with explosives made for TV night time explosion. We have plenty of stupid ideas, believe you me, but that isn’t one of them!
Just a quick thought … whether Kremlin drone attack is a false flag operation or not, Russia can really play this. Biden is completely over his head. If he responds, he will certainly look weak. If he doesn’t respond, he will certainly look weak. There just isn’t support for this war or Biden to rally behind Biden, whether the accusations are true or not. But the world is watching.
It’ll probably turn out to be some Russian teenagers playing with their toy drone... if anyone is actually really investigating it at all...
Lol. Russia. Bully other nations and then play the victim when they fight back. Like any schoolyard bully. That’s the crux of Russki foreign policy since Ivan the Terrible.
Russia: punch punch punch punch
Victim: Blam!
Russia: look what they did to me. Boo hoo boo hoo. International crybaby bullies.
I think ukraine buys drones from turkey, doesn’t it???
It is so soooo stupid, and the Putin administration looks so soooo desperate. People over there are saying it doesn’t add up and I’m pretty sure that opened a dictionary to “false flag” this is what would pop up.
Pretty much the only thing we can do is to shore up our own stuff.
I can tell history wasn’t your strong suit in school with this post.
Not sure... I know early in the war Russia was buying drones from Iran.
If the US was behind it Putin would be getting a state funeral.
I doubt it’s a false flag. If it were, they went out of their way to make it less than dramatic. Reichstag fire it wasn’t...
No assassination attempt.
Russia shot down 2 drones.
During the shoot down of one drone, 2 men were on the ladder-catwalk leading up to the flag pole:

That drone had just flown past the flag pole that is situated above the Kremlin dome, when the drone was hit by a defense system.
Back story:
A careless, dilettante, thoughtless Ukrainian businessman, Volodymyr Yatsenko, announced a contest back in April:
“Competition for drone manufacturers to land a drone on Red Square in Moscow during Victory Day on May 9th”

True
Probably that weather balloon club in Illinois again.
I doubt the USA would even still be here if they blew up the Kremlin... Russia might be, given our military is led by lack-brains.
I wasn’t surprised by the men on the roof. Pretty much all secure facilities have snipers and spotters on roofs... they’re on the WH roof right now.
