Drone assassination plot? What a load of.....

The Kremlin is either very nervous or just having fun with a bit of black propaganda. In wartime the first thing that can rarely be relied on is the truth. So the Kremlin's claim that Ukraine had launched two armed drones to assassinate Vladimir Putin is so far-fetched that it's laughable. First of all I seriously doubt Ukraine has a drone of sufficient range to hit the Kremlin unless it were to be launched from well inside the Russian border and second of all, unless the Russian president makes a habit of sitting on or just under the Kremlin roof, I fail to see how any drone strike could he classed as a realistic plot to remove the Russian president. So it's all a load of nonsense but of course it mightily stirred up the crazies in the Duma and in the Kremlin, especially the former prime minister and briefly president, Dmitry Medvedev, who these days has joined the "let's nuke 'em" brigade with such enthusiasm you do wonder what he is eating for breakfast. It's far more likely that those clever chaps in the FSB (former KGB) carried out the "drone" strike, causing them to explode just above the roof to avoid any damage, and then promptly blamed Zelensky and co for the dastardly plot, in the hope that the whole country would rise up in anger and demand Putin take revenge. Which is what he did, ordering a mass launching of missiles against Ukrainian towns and cities. It's all so cynical I can't imagine anyone with a brain in their head would believe the Kremlin story that Kyiv was out to get Putin who, by the way, wasn't even there but was sitting quite comfortably in his out-of-town residence.
