The US reported that two drones managed to set off explosions near the Kremlin, and that the drones were obviously Russian, set up to trick the world into believing the Ukraine had attacked the Kremlin when the Ukraine have refrained from bombing Moscow, something they are quite capable of, but have been showing great restraint in spite of Putin's unjustified and totally unprovoked attack, where he is hoping to rebuild the USSR and the Warsaw Pact, but is losing badly to the brave Ukrainians who have advanced US weapons while Russia can't buy or build any new weapons because of the sanctions and only have Soviet and Czarist weapons.
As Russia note, the drones came from the Ukraine, but the Ukraine do nothing except to chust vollow orders from their Masters of the Universe: the US of A.
So Russia blame the US and promise retaliation at some time and place that the US of A do not expect.
The US intend to remain Global Hegemon, and will not tolerate Russia or the PRC as a serious competitor that could limit the US right to destroy any country that does not follow the "Rules-based-order" where the US make all the rules and give all the orders.
The US wars have been described as losses in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, but the US destroyed all three countries then left behind countries without any infrastructure. And stole all the money they had in Western banks. So the US got what they wanted from all the wars they've waged since 1953, when the Korean War did not go to plan, and the DPRK remain a threat to $trillions of US assets in South Korea.
But now the US are taking on a First World country, not a Third World country.
Russia, for reasons they are trying to understand, wanted to be part of Europe, and sold Europe energy at below market prices to prove their friendship. But the European leadership agree with the plan in "My Struggle" a book written in the 1920s by someone who was elected Chancellor of Germany in 1933. The Plan is for the Russians to be removed to make Lebensraum for the Western Europeans, and their energy confiscated and handed over to US oiligarchs. So Europe are buying a lot less Russian energy to teach Russia a lesson they will not soon forget.
So Europe left Russia with a lot of energy to sell, and the US ordered that no one could buy it.
The net, of course, was that some non-European customers were ready to buy just about all of it, and don't seem to care about the US order that buying Russian energy is strictly prohibited under the Rules-based-order and will be punished severely. Giving Russia's non-corrupt Defence Industry plenty of money with which to keep the Russian military supplied with weapons and ammunition, while NATO have been drawing down their stocks of weapons and ammunition to supply the Ukrainians and are having a hard time replacing what they've used up. And the countries buying cheap Russian energy seem quite happy with it.
The real question is, will the US accept a world where they are no longer Global Hegemon, or will they figure having no world at all is the better alternative?
