The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyyâs plane & itâs barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. Weâve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesnât even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Hmmm we know Putin ordered the hit. One has to wonder what donnie knew and when did he know it.
We know he is functionally insane or is he just insanely functional.

(12,269 posts)Sources told The Journal that the drones took off from a location in the northeast of the Irish capital and flew towards the flight path of the Ukrainian president in breach of a no-fly zone.
Gardaí are investigating the incident but have not yet been able to confirm where the drones came from or who may have been controlling them.
They are trying to establish whether the drones took off from land or an undetected ship, slipping past radars.

What To Know
At this time, the origin of the drones and who may have controlled them remains unknown, according to reports, but security forces currently believe the drones were merely meant to disrupt Zelensky's flight, as their lights were on as they flew.
Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly learned of the incident early on Tuesday morning, while Martin and the ministers of Justice and Defense were informed just hours after it occurred.
The Journal reported that Zelensky arrived in Ireland on Monday, ahead of schedule, only for four military-style drones of unknown origin to breach the designated no-fly zone that would have been his flight path.

(3,966 posts)A leak by a Ukrainian source. A leak by an Irish source. Or a breach of communications channels.
A BFD.
An Irish newspaper reports it was 5 drones, not four.

Wonder why we only just heard of this today? Zelensky's meeting and speech to the Irish parliament was December 2.

Good. Luck. Everybody.
Jesus, IF you're listening, thanks so much for The Chosen One. You really shouldn't be so good to US sometimes.

(1,309 posts)Were assaulted non-stop by a plethora of drivel and gibberish. Trust in Truth has been severely flayed. Real judgement is required in so many hair-on-fire crises and there is no time to do your own research in a minefield of dis-mis-information before the next wave lands.
This IS Psyops.
And it IS Working.

(12,024 posts)but what a deep disappointment in our media. Trump creates the disorder that rules our day and the media passes it along, nearly 24/7. Almost no time for in depth coverage of international news. Barely a blip says so much about us.
May Zelensky and his people stay safe.
