If the U.S. did it, there would be a giant crater where the palace once stood.

US also denied responsibility for Nordstream 2 which was false 🤷‍♂️

[thievingpanda]

Let's be real, if the U.S. had carried out this attack the Kremlin would be a hole in the ground right now 😂😂

[shaec]

Who is to say his own people didn’t do it

[hawaiiandelite]

I'd love to know how a drone of this quality made it so close to the Kremlin. Isn't it suppose to be set up to avoid this exact type of attack? Blaming the US is absurd, but Putin does know the False Flag Game better than most.

Would not be surprised if it was his own Russian group of people that did this

[brianlyle]

If it was the US we would have put 25 cruise missles into the Kremlin. I've been waiting for more of this actions

[aquariandawn]

Don't forget Nordstream, the official Swiss investigation ruled.

[soonexrepublican]

Now show Russia what we can do with bunker busters.

Just like how we didn’t blow up that pipeline and Biden wasn’t on video saying he’ll get it done by any means so yeah 😂

[billkranz]

Dear Russia. You ain't seen nothing yet.

[gonzo]

If we’re being honest, he has many enemies, it could have come from anyone. Even Choina. But, the fact it looks like a toy and not a high speed assault drone made by secret squirrels is a good indicator that it was not US

[jarrettthomas]

John Kirby said we didn’t do it and he’s an honest Abe

[Windshieldchoke]

I like to call this the good ole “watch this hand so you can’t see my other”

[hilairelaplume]

I love how they somehow think that the US master plan to kill gladimir Putin was a slow-moving drone. That hits the top of a steel building a couple hundred feet in the air hahaha. Like that was the best plan anybody could come up with. " Sir should we use cruise missiles poison agents on the ground snipers stealth missiles stealth fighters or bombers or some of our other top secret assets!!???" ...." No just go to Walmart and get a drone and put a grenade on it that'll be fine".

[joemahony]

The secretary has disavowed any knowledge of the drone, as if that mattered.

[Sam-cisl]

Are Russia claiming they are supremely incompetent

[billlot]

Has Bart Simpson said I did not do it ! 😂 it was Sideshow Bob

[elpismi]

we blame mexico. mexico blames canada. canada blames fake maple syrup.
