Can someone ask @senatemajldr why he suddenly got so sensitive about coddling Russia and abetting Trumps continued denials of what happened. Just trying to understand.
I’m wondering if it’s because President Barack Obama proposed going to the public with a bipartisan warning to the American people about Russian election interference and he refused because he wanted to prevent the warning from happening because he was benefiting from it?
2/ I’d hate to think this is true. But maybe he’s afraid he’ll finally have to answer for that?

The Federalist, with its secret funding, is a big advocate for sen Hawley. So no surprise that a Federalist writer attacks on his behalf. But Boot is certainly right. Hawley says that the purpose of civil government is not civil government or liberty or individual rights but ...

🚨#Russia: Opposition leader Alexey @Navalny suffered “severe allergic reaction” in jail and was taken to hospital. His face is swollen but in satisfactory condition, reportedly. He shldn’t even be in jail. His only offense is protesting for fair elections bbc.in/2SI8kpc
@navalny 🚨#Russia: @Navalny's doctor states "with confidence" his condition & hospitalization was caused by "unknown chemicals. Alexey has no allergies and never has. Moreover, he ate the same food with all the prisoners, used no new perfume or personal care products."

@navalny @Kira_Yarmysh #Russia: Seconds before riot police (OMON) rushed people coming to visit @Navalny in the hospital, arresting them including journalists, to keep them from seeing him, this hospital worker claimed it was Alexey #Navalny himself who asked them to be dispersed.🤔

PLEASE RETWEET THIS, OUR ALLIES ARE BETRAYED.

Think about how many more of our military may have died without any allies in the middle east.#Trump is a RUSSIAN AGENT, knowing or unknowingly, our intelligence community is NOT defending us from ALL enemies, foreign or domestic.
If even one military member in Syria is killed trying to retreat from Syria, #POTUS should be charged for #Treason, #AbuseofPower, #Espionage, #Conspiracy with a foreign power
1)#Russia
2)#Turkey
3)#SaudiArabia
4)#Iran

For his own personal interests, NOT national interests
By publicly announcing a military movement to the world, including the time frame, it could not be MORE treasonous and is BEYOND ignorance, it is TREASON.

Beware the Wolf Moon, like the "Ides of March", it will mark a new beginning for a government of, for, and by the people.

#Russia-n mercenaries are now showing up everywhere in #Africa: one country in particular is the #CAR where Russians are also providing weapons. Also present in the #Niger Delta of #Nigeria actually helping the rebels that target the western oil companies. bit.ly/2KkU0OD
Fascinating story on how #Russia entered the #CAR. It was blocking a delivery of weapons from #France to #Bangui so #Macron told CAR President to go and convince Russia to unblock the sale. Instead Russia saw an opportunity to sell its own weapons to CAR. bit.ly/2rj8kyH
3 #Russian journalists killed in #CAR while filming #Wagner, the private military firm run by Evgeny #Prigozhin used especially in #Syria, part of #Putin's inner circle. Documentary was part of @tzurrealism, supported by Mikhail #Khodorkovsky.

2.Even during #ColdWar Western diplomats didn't afford such tone vis-a-vis #Russia, "You understand what you did [in #MIddleEast]?No, you don't!Will you ever stop your geopolitical experiments?Do you understand what dangerous line you are driving the world to?
3.What's next for us?The most dangerous line of the confrontation is in #Syria.
