💣🔥💥🍿🐾#SamPatten is a starter on this menu. A thread on #Trump #Putin #Collusion: from pop-singers in Taj Mahal to weapons in Syria, plus what Satan, black cats, soccer, Patriarchs & judo wrestling have in common. Tarantino, it is not. Oh, plus #CambridgeAnalytica. 👇
1. #SamPatten admitted failing to register in the U.S. as a foreign agent for his work lobbying on behalf of a Ukrainian political party. Breaking. 👇
2. "The nature of his cooperation isn’t clear." (Yes, but the connections are telling.👇 ) . Patten worked with Manafort and & on microtargeting operations with Cambridge Analytica.

0/10: Let me outline - in 10 tweets - what the sanctions on #Russia have achieved so far, since 2014, economically & geopolitically, from the perspective of the law of unintended consequences: +
1) Sanctions induce ruble devaluation, which improves fiscal balance for the Federal state (aka, Putin) & profitability (& sustainability of state-owned enterprises); +
2/10: + 2) Sanctions make ruble devaluations more ‘palatable' for Kremlin, politically, by creating a popular momentum to support the regime in the face of ‘foreign interventions’; +
