How did Donald Tusk, the Prime Minister of Poland from November 16, 2007 to September 22, 2014, allow Poland to hit a level where 60% of its gas was imported from Russia on his watch?

Most likely had something to do with the Yamal-Europe pipeline, which started construction in 1992, with an agreement between Russia, Poland and Belarus in 1993.

Wingas GmbH helped build it, a subsidiary of Gazprom and Wintershall.
October 10, 2010.

"The European Commission has stepped up efforts to prevent Russian energy giant Gazprom from reaching an accord with Poland that would lock the country into long-term natural gas contracts..."

nytimes.com/2010/10/11/bus…
"The proposed deal envisages Poland's increasing its gas imports from Russia by three billion cubic meters a year, to 10.5 billion cubic meters, starting in 2011. Gazprom wants the contract to run until 2037."

nytimes.com/2010/10/11/bus…
"The Polish part of the Yamal pipeline is owned and operated by Europol Gaz, which is owned by Gazprom and P.G.N.I.G., the state-owned Poland oil and gas company. Each holds a 48 percent stake. These two companies hold the remaining 4 percent in a joint venture, Gas Trading."
EuRoPoL GAZ's supervisory board includes Alexander Medvedev, Piotr Grzegorz, Wozniak, Radoslaw Bartosik, Elena Burmistrova, Marek Drzewiecki, Igor Fedorov, Dmitry Khandoga, Bugoslaw Marzec and Michal Pietrzyk.

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

“What is clear is that all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party — and specifically Donald Trump,” the report says.
#Russia #disinformation
ICYMI:
“Pro-Putin talking heads appear to be particularly fond of Trump’s core constituency, whose interests they believe to be the most compatible with Russia’s global goals.”

The Kremlin is interested in having the US withdraw from the world stage, giving up its role as the dominant superpower, retreating to domestic affairs & global commerce, including a radical 180-degree shift from sanctions to business dealings with Russia.

WATCH: @TeamCavuto , @FoxNews 4pm EST. I join with the latest on #Russia, #Ukraine, and the mounting tension over their escalating conflict.

#RussiaUkraine #russia #maritime #foxnews

video.foxnews.com/v/597185664800…
Russia seized the Ukraine boat in #internationalwaters, not in the #SeaOfAsov or the #StraightOfKerch. This is a violation of international #maritimelaw. This is also an #actofwar and a very serious situation.

#RussiaUkraine #russia #ukraine #maritime
The U.S. government & @realDonaldTrump must take a very firm position on this and trade action immediately. Russia will push this situation to the limit and then back away with the gains they h ave achieved. There must be a heavy penalty.

THREAD #Russia 14 POINTS #Maps+ critical #Geography #Geopolitics. Here is my hot take on “Understanding Russia,” a new book by Marlene Laruelle (@PONARS) and Jean Radvanyi (2018). I hardly agree w/ all "French Eurasia" & "anti-Russophobe" arguments; it IS worth a CLOSE read. 1/16
1. (1814/5-2014) Talleyrand 1814-5 & Keynes 1919 argument, & vs. Obama’s “regional” neo-containment (2008-14): Defeated Russia’s greatpowerness (derzhavnost’) is NOT avoidable. Sidelining a mil-nuclear & gas-rich power is dangerous. (Merkel: re: Putin in “another world.”) 2/16
2. (1954-91) One can consider, for the sake of argument, a postwar Moscow-Paris-Washington axis. The “disease” that neo-Empire Russia(ns) have is "trauma," a kind of geo-body loss, historically akin to French postcolonial retrenchment in proto-EU after the Algerian War. 3/16

🔥CONSPIRACY🔥

THREAD: *Many* ties link Team🇷🇺Trump to #Russia. Manafort & Gates were central‼️

👉🏼Manafort: Trump’s most powerful political operative, helped secure GOP nomination
👉🏼Gates: his deputy, was along for the whole ride

1/
 newsweek.com/manafort-trump…
Team🇺🇸Mueller noticed that Putins's🇷🇺allies paid MILLIONS to Manafort/Gates to impose Moscow’s will on #Ukraine in DIRECT OPPOSITION to stated US foreign policy‼️ 2/
Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch & close ally to Putin & fmr Ukrainian President Yanukovych, is key to the #Russia🇷🇺Manafort connection.

Firtash owns 45% of RosUkrEnergo (RUE)— a shady operation that brings gas from Turkmenistan to Ukraine.🤨

And LAUNDER MONEY‼️ 3/
