All hell is breaking loose as Ukraine's President Zelensky has checkmated Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin of Russia. Moscow is on fire. Moscow is burning down Zelinsky utilizing long range capabilities now including state of the art drones and hitting critical Moscow infrastructure which was previously touted as being the most most highly guarded areas in all of Russia and Zelensky and Ukraine have been able to penetrate it. Slava, Ukraine now here is what we are learning. The Kyiv Independent reports. Following attacks on Moscow, Zelensky touts a shift in the balance on the battlefield signaling more deep strikes into the heart of Russia. Remember when Donald Trump said Zelensky, you don't have the cards, you need to listen to me. And Zelensky says what are you talking about I don't have the cards. One day a war is going to come to you and you are not going to know how to deal with it. We should be allies, but if this is the way you want to go Donald, then that's the way you want to go. Now let's talk about what has gone down. Ukraine Security Service confirmed on May 17 that it conducted an operation jointly with Ukraine's armed forces targeting military, industrial and fuel infrastructure in the Moscow oblast, including the Moscow oil refinery as well as air defense systems and infrastructure at the Belbach military airfield in occupied Crimea. Now you can see some of these drones almost taunting Russia's air defense that are defenseless that were unable to stop these drones. As these drones loitered over Moscow, threatened finding the perfect targets and striking. Let me show you some of the video from Moscow right now. You can see what it looks like. As I said, no hyperbole. Moscow is literally burning down. Fires can be seen burning earlier in the day at infrastructure sites across the Russian capital of Moscow. At least one of its oil depots following this large scale combined attack using cruise missiles and drones by Ukraine. So many targets in Moscow and the surrounding region were on fire. Take a look at it right here. Another angle as well. As J in Kiev writes for the first time Ukraine has managed to hit the Moscow oil refinery, the most protected facility in the country. Multiple strikes. Yes. And as One commentator noted, there is a very real chance Ukraine will end the war if this continues. Another commentator says, moscow has never looked so hot. Right, Donald? The hottest country. So hot. So hot. Donald Trump associates with losers and Zelensky taking a major advantage on the battlefield. You can look right here as these Ukrainian drones essentially flying in formation when striking Moscow, Russia this morning. At this point, they are mocking the Russian air defense capabilities. Another commentator noted, no rest for Moscow as a road has not only been caught on fire but is now sinking due to its shoddy construction. This apparently occurred without even Ukraine's help as it relates to the road. Take a look at more footage of a major fire following a drone attack in the Zeleno Groed Moscow administrative district. The Elma Techno park was likely the target of the attack. Companies that manufacture electronics are based there. The war is finally coming to Russia and among other things that are burning in Russia in the morning. Fires at Russia's at Moscow's massive Solingorsk oil facility continue to spread. Now amid Russian social media being flooded with the videos that I'm sharing with you of the damage to Moscow inflicted by Ukrainian drones and missiles. Russians are now also beginning to point out that it was only last week that it was made illegal to publish news photos or videos of exactly this type of stuff, punishable by lengthy prison terms. It's considered terrorism in Moscow. But we've got the footage here. Putin's toothless government wears no clothes. Not only that, but when Russia's air defense system was activated, it was so shoddy and so faulty that the civilian deaths in Moscow have come from Russia's air defense missiles striking apartment complex complexes in Moscow. As Jay and Keev notes, with three people already confirmed dead across Moscow now, locals are not happy as Russian air defenses continue to successfully attack apartment buildings citywide. Now, as Moscow burns, as Jay and Keefe says, one of the drunkest members of Putin's press team comes out with yet another threat to nuke the entire planet. Sounds a lot like Donald Trump. According to subparagraph D, A, paragraph 19 of the Presidential decree, says the press secretary for Russia's Foreign Ministry on the approval of the fundamental state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of nuclear deterrence. The recent reliable information about the massive launch of aerospace attacks means that it goes and says that they could be activating their nuclear deterrent capabilities. As another account writes, this was a bad day for Russian air defenses in Moscow. The Russian defense ring around Moscow was penetrated at multiple points. Ukrainian drone struck targets from Durikino in the north, Zelenograd, Shermetyevo International Airport and Kimiki in the northwest, and even reached the Moscow refinery in the southeast of Russia's heavily protected capital. Now, Zelinsky has been posting video footage as well of the Ukrainian missile and drone strikes. And here's what Zelinsky writes. Our responses to Russia's prolongation of the war and its attacks on our cities and communities are entirely justified this time, Ukrainian long range sanctions. That's what he refers to, the Ukrainian drone strikes and missiles. He goes if the US is going to take away sanctions, we'll impose long range sanctions. This time Ukrainian long range sanctions reach the Moscow region and we are clearly telling the Russians their state must end this war. Ukrainian drone and missile manufacturers continue their work. I am grateful to the security service of Ukraine and all defense forces of Ukraine for their precision. The distance from Ukraine's state border is over 500 km. The concentration of Russian air defense in the Moscow region is the highest. But we are overcoming it. Glory to Ukraine. Slava Ukraine as someone with a very

I D A S and here's the video that Zelensky made. He did it in Ukrainian. I'm going to play it for you Translated into English. Let's play this video

President Volodymyr Zelensky
Today, the Ukrainian Defense Forces, our security service and our intelligence carried out a large scale operation against the Moscow region. A solid wave of our deep strikes. We are ensuring Ukraine has this capability. The distance to the targets this time was over 500 km. This is significant, especially since the Moscow region is the most heavily defended by Russian air defense systems. Above all else, they are fiercely protecting their central seat of power. Yet despite their efforts, Ukrainian long range strikes are already beginning to reach it. As I said yesterday, Russians need to think about their own oil refineries, their oil facilities and their industrial sites, rather than how to ruin the lives of other nations in Ukraine, Azycha, Moldova or any other neighboring country. Also, our defense forces have struck targets in the temporarily occupied territory over the past 24 hours, particularly in Crimea. And this long range capability of ours is something that is significantly changing the situation and overall the world's perception of Russia's war. Many partners are now signaling that they see what is happening and how much things have changed, both in terms of attitudes toward this war and the reach of Russian targets on Russian territory. The war is quite predictably returning to its home port, and this is a clear signal that it is not worth messing with Ukraine and waging an unjust war of aggression against another nation, specifically against the people.

Now, as Moscow burns, Donald Trump is making social media posts of himself walking with an alien. As California Governor Gavin Newsom says to Donald Trump's AI image. The President of the United States just posted this. Do you think that he has lost it? Answer, yes. And United States military equipment is burning down. We also saw an Israeli nuclear site burning down. We also saw a UAE nuclear power plant burning down over the past 24 to 48 hours. Remember the video I did yesterday morning? Donald Trump's panics as two nuclear sites are hit. I know. Corporate news. Don't want to talk about this. What corporate news? Too busy talking about. I don't. I don't. Who knows? Golden Ballroom? Why? Why? Why we need to build Golden Ballrooms. I don't know what state regime media is reporting, but here's what we also learned. In addition to all of those sites being struck, Iranian and regional media outlets, including Iran's Fars News Agency, are reporting the downing of a US MQ9 Reaper drone over Yemen's Marib Province, the key oil and gas region located in northern central Yemen today. The claim in the footage has not yet been confirmed by U.S. central Command or Yemen's Houthis. The Houthis have a documented history of targeting the $30 million General Atomics aircraft shooting down dozens of MQ9 Reaper during a recent US campaign, increasingly by using locally manufactured surface to air missiles. Actually man comes from China, but who knows? The US has previously acknowledged some losses while declining to confirm others. And the open source intelligence OSINT Open source Intelligence Defender also shows the wreckage that's visible. You can see it circulating. It's clearly an MQ9 Reaper, uh, was carrying these AGM11.4 RNX Hellfire missiles known as the flying Jinsu for their blade deployment warhead designs. And you see it burning. So that's what's going on in the U. S. And this all brings me back to that meeting in the Oval Office, Donald Trump's golden bordello of mafioso extortion. And you remember this moment when Donald Trump went to Zelensky and said, you don't have the cards. You don't have the cards. And Zelensky predicted precisely what was going to happen. Let's play this clip.

bad position from the very beginning of the war.

Donald Trump
You're not in a good position. You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards right now. You don't have your playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War three, you're gambling with World War iii. And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country. That's back to you. Far more than a lot of people said they should have.

Have you said thank you once? No. In this entire meeting, have you said thank you? Or I could show you numerous clips like this. When Donald Trump yelled at Zelensky and said, Zelensky's better. Get moving. Russia wants to make a deal. You're going to miss a Great opportunity. You got to do a deal. Deal, deal, deal, deal, deal. The guy. The guy is so weird about deals. You got to do a deal. I got to do a deal. You're a loser. You're a loser. Shut up with the deals. Stand for values and principles. If you're going to do a deal, then do it. Stop talking about a deal. You know, it's like me talking about dinner. I want to eat dinner. I'm going to eat dinner. I'm going to dinner. Dude, shut up. Just. Just eat dinner and shut up. Stop talking about deals, you loser.

Remember then when you had Zoran Mamdani in the Oval Office and Donald Trump's like, remember I told Zelensky, you better do a deal. You don't have the cards, dude, you're so cliche. Can you come up with. Can you come up with something new? You're playing this clip.

Interviewer
I wanted to ask you also about this Ukraine plan. President Zelensky said today that his country would risk either giving up his partner or giving up his dignity. There's been criticism that this deal.
- [16:18]
Political Commentator
You mean he doesn't like it?
- [16:20]
Interviewer
It's unclear. He was sort of saying he'll have

Political Commentator
to like it, and if he doesn't like it, then. And, you know, they should just keep fighting, I guess.
- [16:27]
Interviewer
You know, the suggestion that he made, though, was that if he doesn't accept it, that the US Would pull back its support for Ukraine.
- [16:33]
Political Commentator
Well, at some point, he's going to have to accept something, you know, he hasn't accepted. You remember, right? In the Oval Office not so long ago, I said, you don't have the cards. Don't forget, I inherited this war. I would have never. This war never would have happened. I inherited this war. And I thought he should have made a deal a year ago, two years ago. The ultimate deal would have been if it never started. That would have been a good deal. That could have been done, too, if you had the right president. But you didn't have the right president.

And then finally, our friend Ben Hodges, former US Army Europe commander, lead general in Europe. He's retired now. He said, I remember a little over a year ago when Donald Trump and Vance yelled at Zelensky and said, you don't have the cards. And look where we are now play the clip.
- [17:24]
Ben Hodges
It was a little over a year ago that President Zelensky was in the Oval Office getting yelled at by the President and the Vice President in this ridiculous assertion that you got no cards and and all of that. And here we are today where Ukraine is helping countries in the Gulf defend themselves against Iranian drones. And they probably are going to have Ukrainian defense industry being supported by Saudi money and money from the Emirates to purchase Ukrainian defense capabilities, even though the American President said we don't need anything from them. So what a what an amazing turn of events.
