The CIA has assessed Ukraine was not targeting a residence used by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent drone attack in the north of his country, according to US officials, undercutting an assertion the Russian leader had made to President Donald Trump in a Monday phone call.
The CIA’s director John Ratcliffe briefed Trump on the assessment Wednesday, the officials said.
Sources said Ratcliffe later briefed Trump that the CIA did not believe it was true. And on Wednesday, Trump appeared to have adopted a more skeptical posture toward posting, posting a link to a New York Post editorial on Truth Social with the headline, “Putin ‘attack’ bluster shows Russia is the one standing in the way of peace.” The Post’s editorial board noted it was “rich that Putin, who has waged a brutal war for nearly four years, believes that any violence in his vicinity merits special outrage” and asserted that “Any attack on Putin is more than justified.”
I wouldn’t care if Ukraine deployed the fucking Hammer of Dawn onto all of Putin’s properties and every Russian government building.
Russia is the aggressor and Putin is a fascist tyrant. The Russian state must be liquidated and Putin should be either executed or sentenced to life by the Hague.
This exactly. Boot up Goldeneye and get them the fuck out.
But what if it was?
Russia would quite happily kill zelenski given any chance and when peace does come, with Putin left in power, I guarantee you that he’ll try to assassinate zelenski at the first possible moment
Sorry, but not sorry, Putin is a legitimate target and if killed might end this war (not to mention make the world a little better even)
Let them kill Putin, I only see upsides. This has nothing to do with him being Russian or whatever, this is him being a megalomaniac dictator who loves murdering people all the fucking time. How many people have been assassinated by now in Russia? How many outside Russia? Putin is a fucking menace to anyone, he needs to go
I think the issue was that Putin wasn’t there at the time. Only his daughter (i think) was, or possibly some other close member of his family.
Apart from that, I agree that Putin is a perfectly valid target, commander in chief and all that.
No shit. If Ukraine were going to do, they’d still be trying to dig putins corpse out of a pile of rubble
And if they were, so what?
Eh Trump will call the CIA fags and say Putin’s far more trustworthy
Or have them link it to Venezuela in some way so they can blow up more ports.

Why would it matter that they did?
I wish they would
My assumption is that since magically every single drone without fail was shot down and they masterfully saved the mansion from this devastating attack is that… Russia sent the drones themselves at the mansion so they could shoot them down and blame Ukraine for attacking “civilian” targets, because Russia would never attack civvies.
Too bad.
At this point I’m surprised when Putin is telling the truth. He lies so much it’s just easier to assume he’s lying and wait to see if there’s actually any evidence for what he’s saying.
I predicted that this story about an attack on his residence was a lie. Putin does not want peace. Every time they get closer to an agreement he pulls back. He knows that the peace will lead to him getting Gaddafi’d.
chuuuu
Well, if the CIA says it…
It’s a Russian friendly source, so may be believable.
