One of the possible escalation scenarios in the next weeks or months is a repetition, on larger scale, of the 1999 apartment bombings that brought #Putin his first presidency in 2000-2004. /2
In September 1999, the #FSB blew up four residential buildings in #Moscow, #Volgodonsk and #Buinaksk thereby killing about 300 #Russian civilians. /3

9. Instead, many may take a lesson from Russian political leaders who - based on Russia's nuclear arsenal - got away with escalation, annexation, subversion, invasion & occupation. Minor sanctions and angry talk by pompous Westerner may look as a tolerable price for misbehavior.
10. Instead of adhering to the #NuclearNonproliferation regime, it may look wiser to get - as soon as technological progress allows - as many as possible #WMDs. With them, you can, unlike Ukraine, secure your motherland's security, &, like Russia, even enlarge it a little bit.

News is breaking that #CIA directors & #Obama admin paid #Iran to hide #OsamaBinLaden (#OBL) from 2001 until 2011. Doesn't add up. Sounds like "#Iraq #WMDs" redux. Here's a thread compiling mainstream stories suggesting #OBL died circa 2001-2002. [1/12]

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be immersed in a perfect storm?
Nothing would be predictable from one moment to the next.
Chaos all around you… Noise and confusion buffeting you from every side.
Solid ground?
Even its memory would begin to recede.

As a species, that’s where we are now. Our beautiful planet is under attack from weapons of mass destruction. Chemical weapons are being deployed against our people. The foundations are being laid for ecological and civilizational collapse.

“Weapons of mass destruction?” you ask. “They didn’t exist the last time someone claimed they did. Are you sure they exist now?”

The evidence is pretty overwhelming:
- Burnt hydrocarbons flooding our atmosphere with CO2
- Intensive agriculture stripping away our soil

The issue is that his way was losing and wouldn't have worked. @JebBush was never or no other establishment @GOP was going to win any other elections!
