**US President Remains Silent as MAGA Figures React with Anger and Suspicion**
The United States has not commented on Ukraine’s recent high-profile drone operation against Russian bombers, but figures within the MAGA movement are speaking out – and they’re not happy. The Ukrainian strike, which targeted nuclear-capable Russian bombers deep inside Russia, was widely praised by officials and media in Ukraine as a major strategic win.
However, voices within Trump’s MAGA movement have sharply criticized the operation, according to Axios. Some expressed anger that President Trump had not been informed of the strike in advance, while others framed it as a provocation with potential global consequences.
**Speculation and Accusations Fly**
Pro-Trump commentators like Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk are questioning whether the US was involved in planning the operation. Rogan O’Handley, who runs the DC Draino account, has even gone so far as to claim that the strike was “intentionally conducted to drag America into WW3” – a claim for which he provided no evidence.
Others have warned of potential risks, with former Pentagon official Dan Caldwell saying that the US should distance itself from the attack and end any support that could enable attacks against Russian strategic nuclear forces.
**Longstanding Hostility Toward Ukraine**
It’s not the first time that MAGA-aligned figures have criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or framed Ukraine as a corrupt and untrustworthy actor. Military actions by Ukraine, even against legitimate military targets, often provoke stronger backlash within the Trump-aligned sphere than Russian daily strikes on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.
As the world waits for a response from the US government, one thing is clear: the situation in Ukraine is becoming increasingly complex – and the views of those involved are deeply divided.
