Literally attempting a 太岁头上动土-style move...

I doubt Putin would resort to nukes from this, but the repercussions could be even more severe than it is right now. Perhaps this is an attempt at daring and provoking Russia even further by Ukraine and NATO...

I mean, something like this has always been possible. All you need is to launch a commercial drone from a nearby apartment strapped with fireworks

It is definitely timed to try to embarrass Russia before victory day parade.

But it's utterly meaningless beyond that. No chance it was going to do any real damage



But then again, could be a false flag attack to justify heavy retaliation

Just trying to score some propaganda brownie points, even if it hit likely nothing more than a hole in the roof.

The elensky regime just secured more Kalibrs raining down on Kiev.

Not gonna happen. No one wants to enter into coalition with AfD. Perhaps they can take one of the states in Eastern Germany but even that seems like a stretch.

He is often ridiculed and rightfully so but I hope Scholz is re-elected as Chancellor purely because his alternatives are Merz and Baerbock.

It's a different story if Christian-Democrats decide to nominate Markus Söder (leader of CDU's Bavarian sister party CSU). In that case I believe he would be the best choice.

I agree. Soder > Scholz >>>> other clowns. Germany doesn't really have anyone that could behave much differently from what Germany is currently doing and is also not a ridiculous racist.

It looks like there was more drones. The Russians are claiming it was an assassination attempt on Putin with the drone targeting his residences. Now the interesting thing is that Putin was not in Moscow when this drone attack was made.

This action would have been greenlit by the US and they would have known if Putin was in Moscow or not. I think it’s quite possible this drone attack against Putin house was to foil any chances of potential peace negotiations.

Assuming if we stick with the Russian side of the story, false flag speculation, Totally Russian partisans, Ukrainian attack or whatever. In any case, there will be no negotiations for at least the rest of this year

Ukrainian assassination attempt on Putin foiled – Kremlin​

Ukraine launched two drone attacks overnight intended to strike the Kremlin residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, his office has reported.

The aircraft were downed using electronic warfare measures and caused no casualties or damage, it said in a statement. Moscow considers the incident an act of terrorism.

The incident occurred late on Tuesday night, and both unmanned aircraft fell on the grounds of the Kremlin in Moscow, according to the president’s office. His schedule was not affected.

“We consider this a preplanned terrorist action and an attempt against the Russian president,” it added. The incident happened “ahead of Victory Day and the parade on May 9, when foreign guests plan to be present.”

U.S. and Philippines to share real-time military intel on China​

Non paywall link. A very pro-US article by framing China as ''agressive'' and ''coercive'' while legimitizing US moves to cripple and surround the PRC but what can you expect from Nikkei owned affiliates.

The most developed economy in the world now requires children to man it's fast food restaurants.

Aramco don't have any technical staff of their own, they poach technical staff from north America and Europe and pay them a ton of money. If I took a Aramco position I can expect to make 30-40% more and pay no taxes, no housing (provided), and no transportation.

Those expenses are included in running the show. They have so much production but profit multiplication is far less than Exxon. infact Saudi usually sell over the brent price. That benchmark is already higher than North American.
