Russia claimed Thursday that the United States was behind an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin that it said was a Ukrainian attempt to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.

The accusation, made without citing evidence, comes less than 24 hours after Moscow said that it had foiled an overnight drone strike on the building that acts as the heart of the country’s government and Putin’s residence — something Kyiv strongly denied.

But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov went further Thursday, claiming Washington had masterminded the incident. The U.S. swiftly rejected the accusation, saying it had nothing to do with it.

“We are well aware that decisions on such a level of terrorist attacks are made not in Kyiv, but in Washington,”

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby dismissed Peskov’s claim.

“I can assure you there was no involvement by the United States. Whatever it was didn’t involve us,” he said in an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” early Thursday. “We had nothing to do with this, so Peskov is just lying there, pure and simple.”

This could get amusing.

Both sides can babble about “can’t reveal our sources” and the importance of maintaining secrecy about “sources and methods”.

When the national security states are based on lying to your own people you can’t even do decent propaganda—both sides.

One liar is accusing another liar of lying.

This stuff gets so confusing!

Biden’s challenging response to Putin: “We mistook the Kremlin for a pipeline. So, sue me!”

WWIII would be quite handy for the leftist deep state and neocons.

We’re sitting on a powder keg abroad...and at home.

If US was behind the attack it would have actually been effective.

If the White House denies it, they not only planned it, but Joe Biden paid for it personally.

Just like Biden had the Nord pipeline destroyed.

Democrats are not only perverts, but war criminals.

Sitting on a powder keg while lighting your own farts is no way to run a war.

These people are STUPID.

Damn. I know what you meant about amusing, but...this kind of stupid thing is what dragged the world into WWI.

Makes me nervous.

Don’t know if Washington was behind the attack, but no doubt they were giggling when it happened.

Something tells that they won’t be giggling much longer.

““I can assure you there was no involvement by the United States. Whatever it was didn’t involve us,” he said”

Does he have 51 retired ‘Intelligence’ Officers ready to state that Washington had nothing to do with it?

1/3 Niels Fastrup is an investigative reporter at DR News, part of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation and has been involved in the investigation. He told Newsday they are not saying Russia was behind the blasts but they can conclude that: “Russian naval vessels operated there on several occasions in the lead up to the explosions.”

2/3 Biden says he’ll shut down Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia further invades Ukraine

3/3 Seymour Hersh reported in February that the Nord Stream pipeline was blown up in a covert operation authorized by President Joe Biden.1 In September 2022, Hersh blamed the United States for sabotaging the pipelines.0 Despite mounting attacks on Hersh’s credibility, Russia has called for an U.N. investigation into this attack and Facebook censors his report on Nord Stream.1

So, it’s the Baltic, Russian ships are home ported there. You would expect them to be in the area. Russia could have just turned off the tap. They didn’t need to blow their own pipeline

Biden bragged about doing it before it happened. He is a perverted, child molesting, war criminal. The media is covering for him.

“this kind of stupid thing is what dragged the world into WWI.”

The Archduke was a relatively harmless guy—and the assassin was a bona fide Serbian nationalist—no evidence that anybody had to put him up to the task.

World War I was just one insane blunder after another—by both sides.
