Explained: Why Trump Is Silent On Ukraine's Drone Daring Drone Attack On Russia
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has not so far said a word on Ukraine's daring drone assault deep inside Russian territory. The operation destroyed dozens of strategic bombers and reportedly dealt a $7 billion blow to Moscow's military power. But it is Trump's silence that is now making the loudest noise in American politics. As Ukraine and its allies cheered the historic 'Operation Spiderweb', Trump's base erupted not with support, but suspicion. 'Why did not they tell Trump?' asked one MAGA (Make America Great Again)-aligned account on X. Another wrote simply, 'Where is Trump?' Pro-Trump influencer Jack Posobiec speculated on Steve Bannon's War Room about whether the Biden administration had secretly backed the plan, which had been in the works for 18 months – possibly during Trump's final year in office. Charlie Kirk, a key MAGA figure, said the attack reached 'very deep into Russia' and questioned potential American involvement. Known online as DC Draino, Rogan O'Handley alleged without evidence that it was a 'false flag' designed to pull the United States into World War III. Former Pentagon official Dan Caldwell warned that attacking nuclear-capable bombers was reckless and could provoke Russian retaliation against the NATO. He urged the United States to halt any support that may have helped enable the strike. Base vs. Strategy In MAGA circles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is often dismissed as a 'globalist puppet'. While Russia's missile attacks on Ukrainian civilians receive scattered attention, Ukrainian military moves like this one spark immediate outrage. Now Trump finds himself trapped between two factions of his own party. On one side are establishment Republicans calling for tougher sanctions on Russia and continued military support for Ukraine. On the other is the MAGA base, which is loud, online and increasingly conspiratorial, demanding that the United States withdraw entirely and stop aiding Ukraine. They want Trump to condemn the drone strike. So far, he has not. In past comments, Trump has criticised both Russia and Ukraine, and he has long cast himself as the only leader capable of brokering peace. But now, as Ukraine lands one of its most strategic hits in the war, Trump is missing from the moment. Experts believe he is intentionally holding back to preserve his image as a neutral and peace-minded dealmaker. 'He wants to look presidential,' said one observer. But in a moment of global drama and domestic division, silence is beginning to look like indecision. Drones and Drama Codenamed as 'Operation Spiderweb', the Ukrainian strike took 18 months to plan. Over the weekend, Ukraine's military launched more than 100 drones at five separate Russian air bases – thousands of miles behind enemy lines. According to Ukrainian officials, intelligence operatives smuggled drones inside truck cabins, waited in Russian territory for the right moment and then launched the attack. A total of 117 drones struck strategic aircraft, including Tu-95, Tu-22M3, Tu-160 bombers and A-50 surveillance planes. Videos posted online showed drones zipping into the air from truck rooftops, a scene one viewer likened to a 'sci-fi movie'. The strike reportedly caused billions in damage and took out aircraft that are hard, if not impossible, for Russia to replace quickly. But while Ukraine celebrated, MAGA influencers fumed. And Trump, the man who has said he could end the war in 24 hours, said nothing. Peace at a Price Meanwhile, peace talks in Turkey failed to produce any breakthrough. Russia once again demanded that Ukraine withdraw from the territories it claims. Ukraine asked for a full ceasefire, the return of abducted children and a summit between Zelensky and Putin. Russia refused. The only progress came in the form of a prisoner exchange. Ukraine's defense minister said all POWs under 25 or in poor health would be swapped. Russia promised to return 6,000 bodies and at least 1,000 prisoners but refused to budge on territorial claims. The timing of Ukraine's drone strike, just before the talks, led to speculation it was meant to give Kyiv leverage. But in MAGA circles, it is being cast as a betrayal of Trump's ceasefire push. Now, as MAGA voices grow louder and more paranoid, a new question is taking shape. Is Trump still in control of his movement or is he falling behind it? For a man who built his brand on always having a line and always dominating the narrative, Trump's silence is no longer a strategy. It is a statement.

MAGA Svengali Wants Trump to Pull Ukraine Support Over Surprise Drone Attack
MAGA podcaster Steve Bannon is calling on President Donald Trump to nix support for Ukraine after it carried out a surprise drone attack in Russia that blindsided the White House. The attack inflicted $7 billion in damage on Sunday and destroyed a third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet. Ukrainian said the strike had been in the works for over 18 months. Bannon, one of Trump's closest confidants, commended Ukraine for executing the attack. However, he was not pleased that it occurred without Trump's knowledge, as the White House revealed on Monday. 'The White House has to condemn this immediately and pull all support,' Bannon said on his War Room podcast Monday. Bannon said Kyiv should have notified Trump of the escalation. He said the supposed betrayal, which he claims has brought the United States closer to war with Russia, must have consequences for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 'If they did not give us a heads up on this, full stop, no minerals deal—walk away from all of it,' he said. 'They're irresponsible. They're dragging us into a kinetic third world war.' The podcaster, who served as a White House adviser during Trump's first term, went so far as to suggest that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Kyiv's most prominent backers in Congress, should be arrested if he does not stop traveling overseas and 'stirring it up' in Ukraine. Bannon theorized that Graham, instead of the president, may have given Ukraine the green light to attack deep into Russia. 'Lindsey Graham's over there saying: 'Hey, forget Trump. I got the House and the Senate. We're going to pass it. You're going to see something in a couple of days.' Remember that? He's stirring it up over there,' Bannon said. 'He's telling them they got backing.' Ukraine reportedly carried out its attack by smuggling drones across the Russian border in wooden crates. They were then deployed simultaneously to attack five airbases, including the Belaya airbase in the far-east Irkutsk region, 2,500 miles away from Ukraine. Bannon said he is not convinced that the attack did not involve U.S. intelligence. If Russia reaches a similar conclusion, he fears the three-year-old conflict could soon include America. 'This is a ticking time bomb,' Bannon said. 'And you see what they're going to get us into. Because now we're now, inexorably, we're being drawn into this.' Trump campaigned last year on a promise to end the war between Ukraine and Russia on day one of his presidency. That promise has fallen flat, as have any peace negotiations brokered by U.S. officials. The latest instance of talks falling through occurred on Monday, when a scheduled meeting between Russia and Ukraine to discuss peace in Turkey was brief, with no agreement reached. 'You're supposed to be in Turkey today talking peace,' Bannon said Monday, 'not 3000 miles into Russia, blowing up their strategic bombers.'
