Just send them more cigarettes if they cant stop smoking in sensible areas
Luck has nothing to do with it.
If Crimea is about to fall, the West can't stop him and Putin has nothing to lose.
Apparently, irony is not a concept that applies in Russia........May 3 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in a failed attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin.
A senior Ukrainian presidential official said Kyiv had nothing to do with the purported incident, the most dramatic accusation Russia has levelled against Ukraine since invading its neighbour more than 14 months ago.
The Kremlin said two drones had been used in the alleged attack on Putin's residence in the walled Kremlin citadel, but had been disabled by electronic defences.
It said Russia reserved the right to retaliate - a comment that suggested that Moscow might use the alleged incident to justify a further escalation in its war with Ukraine.
"Two unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin. As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of radar warfare systems, the devices were put out of action," the Kremlin said in a statement.
"We regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life, carried out on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 Parade, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned ...
"The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit."

Like they didn't send out hit squads looking for Zelenskyy, now they're whining about being given their own medicine. It's a shame the didn't succeed. The world would be better with Putin dead.
False flag operation. Two drones hitting the roof at night. I guess Ukrainian intelligence place Putin gazing out each night from rooftop windows in the Kremlin and not in a palatial bunker.May 3 (Reuters) - Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in a failed attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin.

Putin as a stargazer on the roof?False flag operation. Two drones hitting the roof at night. I guess Ukrainian intelligence place Putin gazing out each night from rooftop windows in the Kremlin and not in a palatial bunker.
Fully agree. If the Ukrainians were going to have a real go at Putin they would have come up with something betterFalse flag operation. Two drones hitting the roof at night. I guess Ukrainian intelligence place Putin gazing out each night from rooftop windows in the Kremlin and not in a palatial bunker.
is so absurd, it borders on being scripted comic material if it weren't for the horrors that Russia has inflicted on Ukraine during the past year."We regard these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life, carried out on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 Parade, at which the presence of foreign guests is also planned ...

Don't forget the nuclear threatThis statement:

So just exactly what "retaliatory measures" would Russia do that hasn't already been done?
Attack Kyiv with bombs and missiles? Nope, already been done.
Attack Ukrainians cities and villages with bombs and rockets? Nope, already been done.
Attack random civilian targets with bombs and missiles? Nope, already been done.
Round up Ukrainian civilians, torture and murder them? Nope, already been done.
Shoot random Ukrainian civilians in the street as they go about their business? Nope, already been done.
Perhaps a strongly worded letter of protest addressed to Zelensky would strike fear in the hearts of Ukrainians where all else has failed...
When I manage to say aloud Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer 10 times in a row, I'll buy myself a pint. Of Warsteiner.
He does miss the CCCP. He wanders up the Kremlin steps in his nightgown each night to gaze upon that glowing red star above Moscow.Putin as a stargazer on the roof?
