    If I remember the feeling correctly, I was a bit afraid of May the 9th in 2022. Because… we deal with the maniac society with tremendous disregard to reality and a talent to make a cult out of anything unimportant. Also, with the cult of numbers and glorious dates … not sure what to expect, you know. I remember the hoaxes ruzzia pushes to finish the war by the date, to show just another easy victory.

    A few years later, if I would even remember the ‘cult day’ is coming, I was wondering: will Ukraine hit the red square this time? I am just disappointed each time. Okay, we try to not make the russian bitch in Washington angry. (The pedo President of the US, obviously.) Are we still rely on the unreliable party? So sad…

    I guess, no Red square attack this year, but hey! Each next year the attack becomes less epic! This year, they won’t have military ammunition, right? The next year they won’t have an army there. The year after that, they won’t have Putin. The best time to attack them on their cult day was a few years back (when the Ukrainian president’s friends were busy stealing money from the state, from Ukraine). The second best time would be next week. But I guess no attack would even happen, and that’s … sad. It’s certainly still a possibility, right?

      Last year Xi was watching the parade. Attacking him was certainly problematic. That is still a problem, but with other leaders. So you would need a precise attack with a long range weapon. I believe 2024 Ukraine was unable to do that(except Storm Shadow, but they did not control that).

      We might see it this year. After all soldiers are a military target.

        if I remember correctly, assassination of state leaders is supposed to be illegal under international law. even if the US and Israel do it on a whim.

        it’s also not a good idea when the leader has iron control over a nuclear capable nation that would fall into the hands of his ultra nationalist henchmen when he dies. it’s an even worse idea when the US is ruled by a senile despot with a crush on Putin.

          The main issue, are the non Russian state leaders. If the Chinese believe you attacked Xi for example.

          If you kill Putin, that would bring in a new leader. It is hard to say who exactly and more so what he will do. That might be nuking Ukraine, but also making a peace deal, to bring in Western money.
