Russia reports that Ukraine tried to kill Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin with the drone.

The U.S. military can't recruit anyone, except apparently drag queens, and any illegal immigration

time bomb is primed to explode. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

Well, the most insane breaking news of the day is that Russia is now suggesting the Ukraine tried to attack the Kremlin.

That, of course, is sort of the capital building in Moscow with drones.

In a move designed, they say, to target President of Vladimir Putin,

they've actually released footage of what it looked like when the drone flew directly over the Capitol

dome of the Kremlin. It really is kind of amazing footage. You can see a drone that is

flying over it, and then it explodes. It sort of taken down. The top of the dome is on fire.

And the Kremlin says that retaliation in some way, shape, or form is likely.

Now, color me somewhat skeptical.

The reason I'm somewhat skeptical is because, again, everybody lies in these conflicts.

Ukraine has lied about some of the things that have happened during this conflict.

They lied very early on about all of their soldiers being killed off of Snake Island, for example.

And Russia lies routinely. When it comes to conflict, they throw people out of fourth, fifth-story

windows, and those people fell to their deaths. They poison people they don't particularly like

abroad. Russia is quite famous for dissembling about the stuff that it does on a military level and the idea of them actually staging some sort of false flag attack, for example, and then using that as an excuse to bomb the living hell out of Kiev or to target Vladimir Zelensky, which they've been trying to do since the beginning of the conflict. That's not out of bounds either. But as we say, it is very difficult in the fog of war to know who is lying and who is not. After all, we still don't know who bombed the Nord Stream pipeline. At the very beginning, it was suggested that Russia had bombed its own pipeline, which made no sense at all. And then you had Seymour Hirsch, who's kind of a weird journalist who sometimes gets it right and sometimes gets it wrong, suggesting that it was Ukraine that had bombed it and then the United States that had bombed it. So when all of the stuff happens, you first have to say to yourself, I don't know anything. So I don't know anything. I don't know whether Ukraine actually tried to fly a drone directly over the Kremlin in an attempt to kill Vladimir Putin, which, by the way, seems like the least effective way of attempting to kill Vladimir Putin. Because from a video, it looks like a couple of drones,

they're not laden with enough explosives to actually damage the building sufficiently to kill Vladimir.

Like, how do they know where he is in the building? They'd have to have pretty good intel in
