Expect President Vladimir Putin to rain on Charles’s Coronation parade. He will do so by raining an unprecedented torrent of missiles down on Ukraine.

Putin is so unhinged he’d think bombing Ukraine would punish Britain for supplying weapons to Ukraine.

Drone attack on Kremlin

Russia claimed Ukraine launched an attempt to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin with a drone strike on the Kremlin overnight on Wednesday, an extraordinary allegation that was met with forceful denials in Kyiv.

Of course, it’s absurd to think Ukraine would launch a Best Buy drone to assassinate Putin. Besides, he has far more to fear from a Russian Claus von Stauffenberg than a Ukrainian drone.

That said, the primary reason for this torrent would be to pretend he’s retaliating for that drone attack. Whether it was a false flag or not is beside the point. Putin is framing that spectacular event as justification to wipe Ukraine off the map.

It also provides a convenient excuse for him to cancel next week’s annual Victory Day parade. After all, if alleged Ukrainian drones can hit the Kremlin, they can kill Russians on parade too. And that would wound Russia’s beleaguered national pride even more.

These annual parades celebrate Soviet victory over Nazi Germany during WWII. Never mind that Putin’s Russia has more in common with Nazi Germany than the Soviet Union.

But Putin has no regard for facts and even less for irony.

More to the point, Putin promised his “Special Military Operation” would end in triumph in three days. Yet, one year later, he has nothing to show for it but death, isolation, and humiliation.

That’s the real reason for canceling all Victory Day parades.
