Farcical wasn't it and obviously aSuch a false-flag op. on Moscow is only for Russian consumption. They can't convince anyone else.
The irony is that by claiming Ukraine can send a drone strike to Moscow, they have to tell the Russian people that their capital city has no air defence. In effect, they have to claim they're weak when their whole mind-set is convincing their people of their superiority.

Robespierre’s impracticality is notorious. Danton’s jibe that Robespierre couldn’t boil an egg to save his life was harsh. But he certainly brought to his place within the CPS next to no managerial or practical skills.

sniggertill slut stod bara "FUKT"
I did insurance exams, including a basic course in economics, in the early 1980s. I distinctly remember the expression "Giffen goods" being used by the lecturer to refer to prestige items where demand increases with price. I have today discovered he was wrong.Had to look up Veblen. Clever reference; I guess that's what a posh education can do for you, make you clever that way.
