There was another explosion today at a military depot in Achinsk, Russia. More evacuations are being reported. This is the second time in days that an explosion has occurred t.me/karaulny/165184
So Russian media is reporting that the U.S. is buying eggs from Russia.
If true can someone tell me WTF we are giving money to a terrorist state? @LindseyGrahamSC @RepDonBacon
My goodness. I missed this which is in the same article. Apparently Treasury is allowing the import of certain categories of diamonds, according to a license from the US Treasury Department.
WTF is going on 🤯
This is for the diamonds
WASHINGTON, August 27 — RIA Novosti. The United States has allowed the import of certain categories of diamonds from Russia for a year, according to a license from the US Treasury Department.
"All transactions prohibited by the February 8, 2024, determination, <…> that are routine and necessary for import into the United States, <…> are permitted until 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 1, 2026," the document says.
The permit applies to diamonds of Russian origin weighing one carat or more, if they have been outside Russia since March 1, 2024. And stones weighing 0.5 carats or more must be outside Russia since September 1 of the same year.
So Putin and Trump held another useless phone call and it’s a repeat of the same nonsense. But what caught my eye was according to Russian news is that “Trump confirmed their mutual interest in implementing a number of economic projects between Russia and the US, in particular in energy and space”
This is as Russia is escalating its genocidal terrorist attacks and the U.S. stops weapons shipments
The rest was that Russia reiterated that they are not ending its genocidal war and discussed Iran. All of the same bs and as I keep saying Russia has no intention of ending any of this and are preparing their offensive to escalate more
Guess I have to yet again explain disinformation vs misinformation.
Misinformation is when someone unknowingly spreads false information while disinfo is the malicious intent of spreading lies.
What we are seeing on social media and by Trump and co, influencers, state actors is DISINFORMATION
To combat disinformation media and others need to understand it and label it correctly. Over a decade of insidious disinformation operations and I still see some in media say misinfo 🤦🏼♀️ including experts
And the KGB perfected and weaponized disinformation (aka dezainformatsiya, дезинформация) and why Russia uses it as a weapon
Musk’s X post backing the AfD sparks a firestorm, further aligning his actions with Moscow’s interests and deepening concerns about his threat to democracy. Also a short background on AfD
Waiting for MAGA at the lead of de facto president elect Musk to now stand with Iran. Insanity
The Iranians said the meeting between Mr. Musk and Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani lasted more than an hour and was held at a secret location. The Iranians, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss policy publicly, described the meeting as “positive” and “good news.”
The most ridiculous part is how Trump and all his sycophants spread conspiracies about the Biden admin and Iran and a week after winning the election they are running to make nice with the Iranians. This despite the supposed assassination plots. Definitely something to monitor
