He was a good soldier and person, a good friend to many, and he will be missed by all who knew him.
Thanks for sharing.

It's corny, but remember him. Don't let him memory or actions fade.

I don't really post GoFundMe stuff anywhere but this seems like an okay reason to do so. For what it is worth I know the person organizing it and he is a great person who works RCMP now so you can rest assured it isn't a scam if you are worried about those things.

If true it’s really too bad it failed.

Oh boy... Also saw it pop up on Ground News with various sources such as Al Jazeera, Reuters, etc.

I imagine if it's true, this is only going to lead to a pretty big escalation from Russia, no?

Hardly an assassination attempt unless he lives in that dome under a flag pole.

I doubt drones get within 30 km of the Kremlin. Complete horse####.

Keep drinking that Stolichnaya and don't stop, Vlad.

He's already pooping in bags, and doesn't let anyone within 12 feet of him. Let's really let these psychosis hook in.

Any sentence that beings with "Russia says" can simply be tossed aside since, well, they are lying sacks of #### who spew lies the second their lips quiver.

Even if it was true, it's a travesty it failed.

If that video is true, I think that's a plant. First of all you can't trust Russia on anything they say publicly, 2nd of all this is a country that conveyor belts public dezinformatsiya and sowing discord and chaos. It has always been a policy of theirs - since the imperial age - to obfuscate, subvert and blur the lines of what reality really is. You saw it with Stalin, you saw it with Kruschev, you saw it with Yeltsin, and most definitely you see it with Putin.

I'd bet dollars to donuts this was a (another) false flag operation designed to turn national public opinion on the Ukraine war even further and cause turmoil with NATO.

As someone who doesn't know much about using drones for assassination attempts, it's not the most persuasive video. I would have expected more explosives, and the footage seems filmed by hand rather than by security camera based on the movement, which seems weird to me for a middle of the night stealth attack.

Putin doesn't even venture outside his bunker far away from Moscow much these days, let alone get all the way to one of the main areas of the Kremlin. Yea that drone had no punch wouldn't have damaged the outside of the building much let alone kill anyone inside of it.
Aren't most of those buildings hardened against conventional attack anyways like the Pentagon?

There's two people in that video climbing the dome at the moment the drone hits.

Boy, that saying sure seems dated with 2023 prices.

Not to mention the stands for the May 9 military parade are getting set up, so security is extra heightened. I'm sure they've had a drone defense plan in place for years now, especially for big public events like parades and rallies that close to the Kremlin.

This just reeks of inside job amateurism.

I'm pretty suspicious of it. But it certainly would in Russia's mind give them an excuse to up the attacks on civilian targets and terror strikes.

I was thinking that the smart move (Sorry bad phrasing but whatever) would be a terror attack during the May parade.

Kill a few dozen Russian civilians, blow up a couple of kids, put it at Ukraines feet and it rallies the Russian people.

Maybe someone was reading Red Storm Rising.
