👇🧠⚡Thread on new #InformationWarfare #narratives: Many are wondering about the latest development: #Helsinkisummit, #Putin’s visit, #Trump’s open support of #Russia, etc. Is he insane? No. Russian psychological war manuals are hard to find. The sum up of the latest strategy:
A new strategy: Brainwashing Trump’s base and the rest of the society into whitewashing and normalizing Putin’s Russia. The new narrative is “Yes, Trump works with Putin. It is perfectly normal. Russia is a friend. Putin is good. Thank you, Russia, for helping Trump.”
This is how it is achieved—in the broad daylight. (The silence of the press does not help.)

In #Moscow, #WhiteHelmets evacuation said to be a part of #HelsinkiSummit agreements on #Syria, #GolanHeights. The very operation was thoroughly coordinated by #Israel's Lieberman & #Russia's Shoigu as well as discussed by #Putin & @netanyahu in latest phone call.

1. In the absence of any US readout of the Trump Putin #HelsinkiSummit here is what Kommersant is reporting about three alleged proposals. Take with a grain of salt: kommersant.ru/doc/3689866 The translation seems odd.
2. "The first proposal is to create a high-level working group, in which businessmen from the United States and Russia should leave."

I don't get that. Make business leave each country? Perhaps a Russian speaker can assist. Here's the rest:
3. "The second is to create an expert council of political scientists, acting and former diplomats and former military men of the two countries. The third proposal is to hold meetings of the US National Security Council (SNB) and the Russian Security Council."

1/ Yesterday, in response to his behavior with Vladimir Putin at the Helsinki Summit press conference, President Trump made an attempt to control the damage.
2/ His explanation was based on the premise of misspeaking a single word, "would" - when he had meant to say, "wouldn't". What follows is a partial nonverbal and statement analysis of this exchange.

A thread for my fellow libertarians on the #HelsinkiSummit:
We say diplomacy and dialogue are good. Few Americans would disagree with that. Peace and prosperity can’t be secured without communication and engagement.
For my part, I have urged presidents to meet with the leaders of Russia, North Korea, Cuba, and other countries to build better relationships. These interactions make it possible to change behavior, to turn foes into friends.

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.

#Russia's Amb to #US Antonov says #Putin, @realDonaldTrump reached some "important verbal agreements" at #HelsinkiSummit, spoke in favor of keeping START & INF treaties.
Antonov adds after return from #Russia he has a "clear resolve to go knovk on the door of @StateDept, NSC to have a sound idea of what we need to do together to implement these agreements." Antoniv conceded, however he "remains toxic" in the eyes of American public..
Antonov concludes "I cant guarantee, we, the diplomats in Washington, wont have any indulgences in terms of a more relaxed atmospherics until mid-term elections in Nov. And from that it's not too far until next Presidential elections."

"If I were still an active CIA officer at the senior leadership level, I would seriously have to consider resigning ...."

"#HelsinkiSummit: A Time for Choosing"
By Rolf Mowatt-Larssen (@BelferCenter)

justsecurity.org/59497/rolf-mow…
Former senior CIA officer: "This is a time for choosing. Government officials, senior and junior alike, take an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States, not to obey any single President...."
"...The calculus of whether to resign or stay must be based on whether one is able to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States from within or from without. Serving the interests of this president is not serving the country."

#Putin now on Channel one gives interview on #HelsinkiSummit, says he agreed with Trump to continue working at the expert level on some of the "new ideas that there are on how to fix conflict in east of #Ukraine."
#Putin after having studied #Trump today: @realDonaldTrump can listen, but keeps his own opinion on many issues" adds many mistakingly call his approach that of businessman but he is acting as a pure politician because he is very much catering to his base, his constituency.
#Putin on #JCPOA:It’s the tool to guarantee nuclear non-proliferation across the region.#Iran one of the most controllable countries by #IAEA.We understnd #Trump’s position,he was saying IRN should stop destructive regional policies. But this[approach]shouldnt lead to nixing deal

I’ve been meaning to point out this simple truth for ages & today seems as good a day as any: whether or not Trump raises, and Putin admits, interference is 100% meaningless & Trump is insulting everyone’s intelligence by stringing this out as a will-he-won’t-he story. (1/3)
Simple thought experiment. There are two hypotheses: either Russia did interfere or Russia didn’t. (Yes, I know- but bear with me for the sake of the thought experiment.) Now, imagine how Russia reacts if accused of meddling in each of the two scenarios... (2/3)
Scenario 1 (Russia did *not* interfere): Putin denies interfering

Scenario 2 (Russia *did* interfere): Putin denies interfering

Therefore making an issue of whether Trump raises it with Putin bigly misses the point & distracts from the real, troubling questions. QED (3/3)

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

Interesting lineup of Team Russia at expanded meeting with Team U.S. #HelsinkiSummit 1/ Image
It's Putin's spokesman Dmitri Peskov, Putin's foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov, best MFA interpreter Alexey Sadykov, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Minister Sergey Lavrov Ambassador to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov, head of MFA North America department Georgy Borisenko (note taker)
Nearly everyone on the list is a usual suspect and matching to their U.S. counterpart with an exception for Peskov. Kelly's direct counterpart should be Anton Vaino, Putin's chief of staff, Peskov besides being President's spokesperson is technically his deputy 3/

Trump’s already spewing Kremlin talking points & he hasn’t even entering the room with Putin. RUSSIA attacked our election, invaded Ukraine, stole Crimea, propped up dictator Assad in Syria, poisoned people in UK. “US foolishness & stupidity” is having #HelsinkiSummit with Putin.
How much clearer can it be that Trump is Putin’s puppet?He has proof Russian GRU attacked us and he still won’t blame Russia. Instead he trashed his own country. Of course, Russian Foreign Ministry agrees. It’s their propaganda Trump’s been pushing for them. #HelsinkiSummit
Reupping old thread on Trump's use of "witch hunt." Along w/ "fake news," it echoes Russian propaganda. AND shows a deep refusal to see Russia as an adversary b/c among other things Putin is an ally against the real enemy of Trump GOP power grab—Dems & free press. #HelsinkiSummit

This is my THREAD on #HelsinkiSummit where I'll report/analyze all coming & subsequent developements from #Russia's POV:
1. Here's my take on #Putin-#Trump encounter for @ispionline where I argue the summit may have high hopes, but modest expectations
ispionline.it/it/pubblicazio…
2. This is what #Putin heads into #HelsinkiSummit with in terms of #Syria, #Iran: almon.co/32y5
3. #Putin & #Trump will be meet face-to-face around noon (1pm #Moscow time). The leaders have at least 3 hours scheduled for themselves after which they will proceed to another room for working lunch in a broader format with ministers and advisers.

Peak puppet: "I hadn't thought of that"—Trump on whether he'll confront Putin to extradite the indicted Russians. Then blames Obama! Seriously. Trump is always a sheep when it comes to Putin and Russia. He can't even lie well about it. cbsnews.com/news/trump-rus… #HelsinkiSummit
Q: You were very direct at NATO summit. Do you expect same tone w/ #Putin?
Trump: I don't expect anything. Getting along w/ #Russia's a good thing. We're greatly hampered by the rigged Russian WITCH HUNT.

#HelsinkiSummit—ALL Bromance. #BromancingTheEnemy
Music to #Putin's ears & warning lights blinking red: Trump again bashes our biggest ally—EU—as a FOE, the day before #HelsinkiSummit. Asked to identify the biggest foe globally, Trump: "Well, I think we have a lot of foes. The European Union is a foe." cbsnews.com/news/donald-tr…

(1) #TeamTrump #PhotoThread: Visit to Europe July 2018 - Part V.

Scotland: Glasgow, the Trump Turnberrry Club, then on to the #HelsinkiSummit with Russia.
(2) As usual, the photos of the couple looking relaxed and happy are tucked away and harder to find, while the negative ones are front and center. They've been travelling and carrying out events nonstop all week, but they still look energized. Positive attitude.
(3) POTUS and team pointing and laughing at something, possibly the asinine Greenpeace stunt, because "below par" is a good thing in golf. LOL

Very very stupid idea to risk getting shot... a POTUS is one of the most well protected persons in the world.
