🔥@FrankFigliuzzi1: Don’t be surprised if FBI counter-intelligence div is looking at that (Deripaska) aluminum factory deal in Kentucky. Why does McConnell for years just not want to hear the truth abt Russia? It just begs the Q: Is there a flow of money? Is there a compromise??
@FrankFigliuzzi1 @NicolleDWallace 🤯It's nuts that US lifted #sanctions for close Putin ally #Deripaska—who Manafort briefed during #Russia's attack! That #McConnell stopped a bipartisan effort to reverse it, then got a Russian alum plant in #Kentucky smells of corruption if not compromise.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-a…
@FrankFigliuzzi1 @NicolleDWallace 🤯Not only did McConnell push to lift sanctions for Putin's pal #Deripaska. But Mitch's Kentucky taxpayers must give the Russian oligarch's Rusal $15,000,000 to help Russia get a foothold in US economy! Of course, #MoscowMitch denies knowing about any "Russian investor."🤔#maddow

Wow Putin is scared. #Russia TV did one of their propaganda “exposes” to discredit @CNN reporter @clarissaward as a spy b/c she’s investigating Kremlin secret Wagner army. She even interviewed a mercenary. Recall 3 well-known Russian journalists were killed investigating Wagner.
.@CNN reporter interviewed a Wagner mercenary—#Russia’s secret private army he says "does anything Putin says" to boost Russian influence & suppress American. Same group that seized #Crimea, operates in #Ukraine, #Syria, #Africa. Kept secret to give Kremlin plausible deniability.
.@CNN reporter found out first hand about KGB #Putin’s #Russia. Doing a story on Kremlin-tied Wagner mercenary private army, @clarissaward was followed, filmed, had a guy go thru her hotel room, and became the subject of a Russian #disinformation attack video calling her a “spy.”

Why this story isn't getting more press coverage is baffling: #Russia just buried 5 nuclear scientists killed in a nuclear blast in the Arctic. There is of course a radiation cloud. - BBC News bbc.com/news/world-eur…
#Russia explosion: Village on-again off-again evacuation cancelled after suspected nuclear missile accident in the Arctic - CNN cnn.com/2019/08/13/eur…
#Russia's got a pretty astounding record of irresponsible dishonesty when it comes to catastrophic events that impact people lives. Everyone's heard of #Chernobyl. Few know about #Chelyabinsk—the most polluted place on the planet. I wrote about it in 2016. eastwestblog.net/2016/04/26/ukr…

This article in @guardian, by an employee of Swedish state & Khodorkovsky-funded @meduzaproject targeting #Russia, on the recent fringe pro-Western liberal protests in Moscow is so full of distortions, omissions & outright brazen lies it is difficult to know where to start...
@guardian @meduzaproject Point by point:
1. The leaders are arrested b/c despite being offered sanctioned protest sites they turned many of these down & repeatedly call for unsanctioned protest marches w express intent of provoking police to be detained & play repressed martyrs for Western media cameras
@guardian @meduzaproject ^Inciting people to an unsanctioned protest march often into busy thoroughfares is a crime in Russia as it is most developed countries and is subject to being charged & arrested.

#Russia- The Bastion Of Democracy😉 Interesting to observe the tone difference between this one and the State Media outlets such as RT. - - - “Activists: 1370 arrests at rally in #Moscow” ccdiscovery.com/activists-1370… via @CRYPTO
For some of the domestic news like this on #Russia I scan the news from the West. For the ones on #USA abuses I tune into Russia media. For the general #MiddleEast I scan both camps’ outlets. For #Turkey, currently, there exists “None.” Every single side: filled W/spins & Lies😉
My old-age reading glass keeps changing-every 6 months! Too much reading. Too much writing. Looking forward to my mini break hopping through 5 islands in 8 days in #Greece.

#Russia #propaganda➡️ ‘Red Fish Media’ is one of the Russian media outlets. They aren’t shy in cover it, as it’s “parent company” is ‘Ruptly’..
‘Ruptly’ is owned by ‘RT’ (formerly Russia Today)Russian international TV network. RT is a brand of "TV-Novosti", an "autonomous non-profit organization", founded by the Russian news agency RIA Novosti on 6 April 2005.
In Dec 2008 the Russian government headed by PM Putin included "TV-Novosti" on its list of core organizations of strategic importance of Russia. Therefore Ruptly and RT can be described as propaganda outlets for the Russian government. And Red Fish. And..

Preparations appear to be underway for a pro-#Assad offensive on #Idlib.

12hrs of on/off air & artillery strikes vs. southeastern & western #Idlib & northern #Hama - see marks on map (original by @ETANA_Syria + my additions).

+ multiple large pro-regime convoys moving north.
@ETANA_Syria #pt: If/when any major military campaign gets underway, expect the #Assad regime (+ #Russia & #Iran-backed militias) to focus on these 2 fronts:

1) West #Idlib (Jisr al-Shughour)
2) N. #Hama/#SE #Idlib (Latamineh, Khan Sheikhoun, Kafrazita)

-> a gradual push ‘inland’ & north.
@ETANA_Syria Very good by @theIRC’s @DMiliband:

- The West must “re-assert” itself & protect civilians in NW #Syria & as a backstop, safe-routes should be opened for civilians to flee into #Turkey.

- UNSC must demand full access to S #Syria; for aid, monitoring etc.

#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.
