Putins Russia
Putins thugs raided over 200 homes of opposition activists across 41 cities. This is one of the biggest operations I can remember! Guess he didn't like the results of the elections this weekend

apnews.com/967e32974cab4c…
one of the raids that took place. The little kids face breaks my heart. Putin needs to be condemned and the West needs to wake up
I have been warning people for years. This is what Trump aspires to be. Do not let this happen here
This makes me sick. Infuriating

There are reports coming out of Russia that an explosion occurred at the Vector Institute in Novosibirsk. It's a virology and biotechnology institute

If I am thinking of the same place this is where small pox and other deadly viruses were stored. Will update

It is disgusting how Trump puts our journalists in real danger. That's what authoritarians do to intimidate the press from reporting the truth. @JoyAnnReid is his newest target. Press operating here are subjected to the same dangers as dictatorship countries
Who ever thought that Republicans would allow a lunatic to rise and turn out country of freedoms into a banana republic. This shit happens in Russia all the time and I am still in shock it was allowed to go this far here with no one stopping it. kleptocratic corrupt regime
Our* and of course Trump always picks people of color to further divide our country in hope of a race war. He wants divisions between religion, race, class to occupy people while continuing the grift and serving at the behest of our enemies

#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’s brand of exceptionalism is not messianic. It is rooted in the isolation of an Orthodox country and its belief that it possesses the gift of a true religious faith, writes @DmitriTrenin in this look at Russia’s changing identity.
carnegie.ru/commentary/795…
Russia’s position in the global system has changed dramatically in the last 5 years. These changes have impacted on Russia’s identity, altered its borders, redefined its sense of nationhood, and produced a worldview wholly different from the tradition of the past 3 centuries.
Russian Federation started as a country that longed to join the democratic liberal order led by the US. It aspired to Western integration, including with NATO & EU. This effort failed due to the refusal of Putin & the Russian elites to give up their country’s global ambitions.

Senior US officials have told me they'd only consider taking the risk of breaking #Russia's air-ban on NW #Syria on 2 conditions:

a) A senior AQ figure emerged as clear target
b) External attack plotting was detected.

I'd treat these "US strike" reports w. some caution for now.
According to well-placed sources in NW #Syria, Huras al-Din figures have on [at least] several occasions raised the importance of re-asserting attention on attacking the West from #Idlib/#Aleppo.

That's a very unpopular proposition, so raising it speaks volumes re. confidence.
Overnight, @CENTCOM confirmed yesterday's strike on #AlQaeda's Huras al-Din in western #Aleppo.

Their reasoning confirms one of the two conditions U.S. officials had previously told me they'd need to break #Russia's air ban over NW #Syria: "plotting external attacks..."

THREAD #Russia 14 POINTS #Maps+ critical #Geography #Geopolitics. Here is my hot take on “Understanding Russia,” a new book by Marlene Laruelle (@PONARS) and Jean Radvanyi (2018). I hardly agree w/ all "French Eurasia" & "anti-Russophobe" arguments; it IS worth a CLOSE read. 1/16
1. (1814/5-2014) Talleyrand 1814-5 & Keynes 1919 argument, & vs. Obama’s “regional” neo-containment (2008-14): Defeated Russia’s greatpowerness (derzhavnost’) is NOT avoidable. Sidelining a mil-nuclear & gas-rich power is dangerous. (Merkel: re: Putin in “another world.”) 2/16
2. (1954-91) One can consider, for the sake of argument, a postwar Moscow-Paris-Washington axis. The “disease” that neo-Empire Russia(ns) have is "trauma," a kind of geo-body loss, historically akin to French postcolonial retrenchment in proto-EU after the Algerian War. 3/16

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?
