A claim by the Russian Defence Ministry that Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin was “in the epicentre of a drone attack” has turned out to be a staged performance by the Kremlin.
I’m gonna be honest, I did not think this was staged when I first read it…
…Because why on earth would that be what you want to stage? Like sure, they say in the article it was to “prove Putin isn’t hiding behind others” or some such shit. The message it sends to me is “our air defense is so shit we can’t even lock it down when the guy in charge comes to visit”. What a bizarre choice of propaganda.

Maybe they just know their market. They sure know ours.
