"I didn't think this would affect us. They are bombing us," – Russians on the start of today's day War always returns to the aggressor…

The Ukrainian drones have struck deep into Russia‘s heart, all the way into Zelenograd what already belongs to the Russian capital of Moscow. The air defense is shooting and suppressing drones with devastating consequences on the ground.

At least one Ukrainian drone made it all the way to the Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, Russia, and crashed within the premises of the facility.

The fact that some drones over Moscow can make these turns without being impeded speaks volumes. More than 300 drones were used for the operation against targets in Moscow, Russia, and they have likely overwhelmed in some areas the Russian air defense.

The Durykino oil pipeline station in the Moscow area, Russia, continues to burn. It looks like two possibly three major fires are raging inside the facility. The driver of this vehicle is confused in to how this is could have happen.

The thing about Patel — and everyone in this admin — is that they do the *absolute worst fucking thing possible* IN EVERY SCENARIO. Like, “Patel went to Hawaii and then did a luxury snorkel trip” -somewhere- would he corrupt, but expected. Why, of all places, at a sacred site?? That takes effort

The Senate Parliamentarian has advised that the orange felon’s $1B trashy dictator worship ballroom will be subject to a 60-vote threshold. His demolishing of the White House for his own ego/vanity should be considered destruction of government property. I hate him.

That’s all he got. No help with Iran, the opposite in fact. He was threatened to back off Taiwan, vague claims about buying Boeing planes, and was told the US is a declining nation, but he’s too stupid and arrogant to realize it was about him.

Putin knows his approval rating in Russia is collapsing.

⚡️Over 70 drones reportedly downed near Moscow, Russian officials claim. A large-scale drone attack has been targeting the Moscow region overnight on May 16–17, with Russian officials and local residents reporting multiple explosions across the area.

The most depressing thing about America’s rapid decline under Trump is that while he is busily throwing Taiwan under a bus, he has received no Chinese help with Iran. He has left the US weak and exposed with his ill conceived war.

Oleksandr is a defender of Mariupol and one of Ukraine’s biggest Harry Potter fans🪄 He was taken in russian captivity in 2022. There, he retold all Harry Potter books to his brothers-in-arms. “Dobby is free” — read the socks his friends brought to welcome him after release🧵
