I'd watch out for Bradley Cooper and Mark Wahlberg if I was Maduro.
As Russia opens military center.

The center was inaugurated Thursday, the same day that President Donald Trump warned that "Russia has to get out of" Venezuela and "all options are open" in ensuring it does.

"You see, the Israeli electorate has shifted more to the right over the years. And you can thanks palestinian intransigence and terrorism – which has backfired on them spectacularly – for this. And not mythical institutionalized Israeli or Jewish racism."

Perhaps the same may be said of the world. 'Populism' may at least be partly the result of the Left having overplayed their hand but they see problem as not being ruthless enough.
It would be surprising if the Left backed off on Netanyahu. They are probably going to launch another banzai.

Japanese F-35 wreckage found

reuters.com/article/us-jap…
During WW2 they forbade the use of proximity shells over land until late in 1944 out of fear the Axis could reverse engineer it. The same worry now surrounds the F-35.

There was a similar concern around the Norden bombsight.
In WW2 the captain of the Sculpin, who knew the Navy had broken the Japanese codes, deliberately went down with his ship rather than risk the secret.

The last Doolittle Raider dies

foxnews.com/us/last-wwii-d…
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Back to the USSR: #Russia passes law to jail people for 'disrespecting' the government | World news | The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
Reminiscent of Soviet targeting of political dissidents, Russia's new law criminalizes online posts demonstrating “blatant disrespect for society, the country, Russia’s official state symbols, the constitution, or the authorities” (ex "Putin's a bastard") theguardian.com/world/2019/mar….
Russia's new "disrespect" law is peak Putin. Demanding Kremlin propaganda be protected as an exercise of free speech rights while jailing people in Russia for exercising the same. And if you dare point it out, "Russophobia! McCarthyism! Russia hysteria!" stopfake.org/en/russophobia…

Russian blockade of Kerch Strait near Crimea, backed up by Russian military helicopters, cuts off Ukraine from Sea of Azov in Black Sea naval standoff haaretz.com/world-news/rus…
#Russia accused of firing on and capturing 3 of #Ukraine's ships in naval standoff following Russia's blockade of the Kerch Strait aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/u…
With Russia escalating its war against Ukraine & Trump and Putin slated to rendezvous at the G20 this week, re-upping this thread on the humiliating Helsinki summit.

The odds of this US admin defending Ukraine's sovereignty and security is nil.

THREAD on #Russia/n Orthodox Church (ROC) breaking off “eucharistic communion" w/ #Constantinople Patriarchate.
1.CAVEAT: I don’t claim to be an expert in church relations but being Orthodox Christian & working on #Russia-related politics/policies I feel entitled to share few of my own observations esp in the face of mounting ignorance or propaganda from some of the usual "Russia watchers"
2. Within next days you will hear 3 dominating narratives on what came to be called "the new schism":
A.Patriarch Kirill is KGB (somewhat true).
B. ROC is a tool of #Kremlin (true).
C. Conflict emerged as aftermath of “#Russia trying to make #Ukraine submissive” (yes & no)

Okay, new thread: We're going into A New Hope, which I haven't seen in so long that I will hilariously remember almost none of it. It's a DVD/blu-ray set I picked up on a whim for like $30, because you can't NOT afford the OT at that point. #sithmas
This movie is one year older than me, so to me it's just STAR WARS. I resisted "A New Hope" for a long time because iT'S STAR WARS DAMMIT. I assume this is the revised New Coke edition. Nice bright/crisp picture so far. #sithmas
Here is something else I wanted to see: going from the cinematography and visual effects of 2006 and 2016 to, uh, 1977. Maybe it's easier to go from "gritty" Rogue One than it is from shiny Revenge of the Sith. #sithmas
