Today’s OTHER Dose of Gloom and Doom

Uh-oh:

I can’t imagine we’d be too lenient after Washington D.C. and the White House were targeted.

Drone Attacks Hit Moscow, Stirring Fury at the Kremlin
Al Jazeera | 30 May 2023

 Drones struck Moscow on Tuesday but were neutralised, Russia said, in what one politician called the worst attack on the capital since World War II…

Since Russia invaded its neighbour in February last year, the war has largely been fought inside Ukraine, though Moscow has reported some attacks on its territory and blamed them on Ukraine, including an alleged assassination attempt against President Vladimir Putin.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said two people were injured, but not seriously, while some residents in two lightly damaged apartment blocks were briefly evacuated.

Russia’s defence ministry said eight drones sent by Kyiv were shot down or diverted, though Baza, a Telegram channel with links to the security services, said more than 25 were involved.

Residents in southwestern Moscow said they heard loud bangs followed by the smell of petrol at about 5am to 6am local time [02:00 to 03:00 GMT]. Some filmed a drone being shot down and a plume of smoke rising over the Moscow skyline.

Politician Maxim Ivanov termed it the most serious assault on Moscow since the Nazis, saying no citizen could now avoid “the new reality”.

“You will either defeat the enemy as a single fist with our Motherland, or the indelible shame of cowardice, collaboration and betrayal will engulf your family,” he said.

Two weeks ago, two drones exploded over the Kremlin in an attack Russia also blamed on Kyiv and said was aimed at Putin.

And (by the way) say goodbye to this guy:

‘You scum” — The Moment Wagner chief EXPLODES with fury at Putin’s minions over Moscow drone attacks

Vladimir Putin claimed that Moscow’s air defence worked ‘satisfactorily’

Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin unleashed a torrent of abuse on Putin’s cronies

The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group has unleashed an explosive tirade of abuse at Vladimir Putin’s cronies after Moscow was attacked this morning by suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drones.

In a furious 70-second rant, a ruthless Yevgeny Prigozhin screamed vulgar insults at Russia’s defence whom he described as ‘smelly scumbags’ and ‘b*******’.

The Wagner boss said he was ‘deeply outraged’ by Putin’s troops doing ‘f*** all’ to prevent explosive drones raining down on the Russian capital this morning. Shortly after, Putin claimed that Moscow’s air defence system worked ‘satisfactorily’.

Known for his foul-mouthed rants, Prigozhin, who handed Bakhmut over to Russia’s army last week, was translated as shouting: ‘Smelly scumbags! What are you doing? Get your a**** up from the offices you’ve been put in to protect this country.’

‘You are the Ministry of Defence. You’ve done f*** all in order to advance. Why the f*** are you allowing these drones to fly to Moscow? Who gives a s*** that they are flying to your homes on Rublyovka! Let your houses burn.

‘But I have already warned about this many times, but no one wants to listen. Because I’m angry and I upset bureaucrats who have a great life.’

His astonishing meltdown comes after several buildings in the wealthy suburbs of Moscow were damaged by suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drones.
