Thoughtful, informed (opinion) piece from the Kyiv Post, on the "meaning"/origins of the '30 seconds over Kremlin' event.

False flag? Internal protest? Ukraine? Wagner? Aliens?

OPINION: Thirty Seconds Over Moscow

False flag or not, the Kremlin drone attack may serve as a wake-up call to Russia and a message of hope to Ukrainians – just as the 1942 surprise Doolittle Raid did in World War 2.

Ohhhh.... ya think?
Then what about the (only) big gains in the East? (Power to the people - ie, local people?)

'Nervous' Vladimir Putin Cuts Off Communication With Mercenary Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin In Latest Power Play

“This appears to be a parting of the way after Prigozhin had been openly critical, even abusive to senior military figures in the regular forces,” Russia expert Bruce Jones said at the time, indicating Putin is starting to now view his once loyal mercenary chief as “a potential rival.” - RadarOnline.com

And then there's this.... Of course it can all be 'fake', or wishful, or both... but perhaps some grains of truth in this spate of stories suggests some looming domestic issues. For sure, people are living with "special operation" fatigue, those still remaining true-red.

Here is the former U.S. ambassador to the Russian Federation, who had studied Putin and Russian thinking prior to his many meetings and discussions, up his departure in 2014 following the annexation of Crimea. He is correct in noting the rise of the Putinologists now gathered around worst-case or most-likely scenarios... and while mileage may vary, Michael McFaul not only knows better than most anybody, past thinking and behavior, he is also wise enough to know,

I don’t know exactly what Putin will do. But neither do you!

An intimate and down-to-earth look through his eyes, a man whose family was snuffed by Russia before, now returned to Ukraine.
An individual story but surely well known to many. Though few will travel so far and risk so much. A taste of "being there". [ 7:26 Vid ]
