Its heartbreaking all the wars going on as it done by those in power while those who are just attempting to live their lives are killed.
imagine if russia and ukraine worked together for a better world.
Zelinsky apparently has some cards! Well played Ukraine!
U.S. government broke the 2010 start nuclear agreement. "Nuclear bombers must be in the open to be clearly identified." "No country may damage or attempt to attack the nuclear bombers."
Also the U.S. assistanced in the terrorist attack on two civilian trains.
That airplane bomb footage is clearly simulated. Looks like a video game. Anyone actually confirmed this happened?
Zelensky is playing a game of nuclear chicken with his civilian population.
putters must be fuming with anger and embarrassment 😂😂😂😂
The Russians target people when they bomb Ukraine. Ukraine bombs military targets.
Ukraine fucked up 💀💀
Im sure CIA, MI6 are behind this….
How sad, too bad.
This Russia and Ukraine war is all bullshit just to get money and weapons from other countries!!!!
They opened the beehives and let them go nuts on those planes
Hmm so they waited? Lol or they just got coordinates..somebody knows somebody and it's a good somebody 😂
Biden's War is now Trump's War … The United States and Russia have agreements that involve transparency measures for monitoring strategic forces, including bomber fleets, primarily through the New START Treaty (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) signed on April 8, 2010. While the treaty itself does not explicitly mandate that strategic bombers be kept in open view for satellite monitoring, it includes provisions for mutual verification and transparency to ensure compliance with limits on strategic nuclear arms, which can involve satellite observation as part of national technical means (NTM) of verification.
China is very busy making some drones for both sides 😂
Something ain't right. Why would Ukraine release drown footage to the world
Europe & American done don't fool world
American & Europe bad people done it
Is Trump wearing a suit. The emperor has no clothes
Marcus, there are no such things as rooves….its roofs…that should have been covered in 3rd grade
ZBOGOM KIJEVO.DIRATE MEČKU U PIČKU.
This is time for Trump to help finish the fight with more support and US WILL BE THE ONLY SUPER POWER
Why would they share how they did it?
In the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Israel has provided full support to Ukraine in military equipment against Russia.
OPERATION TACO DON'T KNOW😊
Has Russia ever won any war ever in the history of ever?
It’s NATO
I bet money that Biden admin. knew about this plan and kept it secret in case Trump were to tell Putin. We can’t trust Putin’s bitch in the Oval Office. Way to go Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Let's just not let this happen to our USA …
PEACE 💜🙏🏽🙏🙏🏾🔥
Total hyperbole of radditz today .
There will be wars and rumors of wars, but don’t be surprised because?
Ukraine was nice enough to not kill Russians. Can't say the same about Putin.
Putin warned the German last week about untrained using their weapon. Now am wondering who's weapon is been used in this attack in Russia. This war is not about innocent people but innocent people are paying the price why these dictators are killing people. May our father in heaven watch over us all 🙏
I feel there is a USA sabotage. RUSSIA CAN DESTROY THE WORLD. it is better not to provoke RUSSIA
Defund Ukraine Throw Zelenskyy in prison. What a corrupt and evil country.
President Donald Trump and his allies have expressed frustration over Ukraine’s recent drone strike, known as Operation Spiderweb, which targeted Russian military assets without prior notification to the U.S. This operation, executed on June 1, 2025, involved Ukraine launching 117 drones at five Russian airbases, resulting in the destruction or damage of over 40 aircraft, including nuclear-capable bombers .
The lack of forewarning to the U.S. administration has been a point of contention. Reports indicate that Ukraine deliberately kept the operation secret from the U.S., including President Trump, to avoid potential leaks or diplomatic complications . This move has been interpreted as a message to both Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, showcasing Ukraine’s capability and resolve in the conflict . 
Regarding Elon Musk, a prominent Trump ally, recent reports allege that he engaged in extensive drug use, including near-daily consumption of ketamine, during his time advising the Trump administration. These reports suggest that Musk’s drug use led to health issues, such as bladder problems, and raised concerns among his associates . Musk has publicly denied these allegations, stating that he used prescription ketamine in the past for depression but has not taken it recently .   
In summary, the recent Ukrainian drone strike has caused diplomatic tensions, particularly due to the lack of prior notification to the U.S., while separate reports about Elon Musk’s alleged drug use have added another layer of complexity to the current political landscape.
news for the stupid! freeze the image take a look at the aircrafts… their engines have propellers, what it means? they are fu**ing OLD!! those museum articles have NO ROLE in the nuclear war of TODAY. Do you honestly think that an aircraft that still has propellers can out run ANY missile system newer the the 1990 ? :))))
At least say that this aircrafts are old as fu**. And in the modern warfare they can maybe just be used to transport troops but far behind defensive lines not for any kind of attack. Because they would be shoot down immediately
The Tupolev Tu-95 production line has long been closed. Production of the Tu-95 strategic bomber, and its derivatives like the Tu-142 and Tu-114, ceased in the early 1990s.. do you think those are REALLY strategic assets? what kind of air defense system you think those can defeat?
Russia has the ability to kill everyone on earth with nuclear weapons. Don't make them mad. USA has the same capability. Others probably do too. We are at a point where the world needs to stop all war and figure out how to compromise and make things work. Everyone can now kill everybody. Nukes and drones. It is lose = lose. The people of earth need to think of ourselves as one, not as segments against each other. Russians are good people, Ukrainians are good people, Chinese are good people, everyone is essentially good. We don't want this. Lets finally figure out how we can consider ourselves all people with the same desire to just live with each other when it comes to living on this earth together. War now is not what it used to be. We could end up killing everyone. Really
I would find it very off putting having the words fail safe right in the middle of my targeting display…explaination anyone?
Russian news media: all drones destroyed, we found new high tech stealth bombers on a runway better than nato 😂😂😂
DEEP STATE LOOSING CONTROL 😂
This is insane… Please no more war
Russia behaves like Hitler and the Nazis. This horror has to be stopped with all might!
That's mean Ukraine about to finish
