Putin speaking to the Valdai club always interesting but caution that Russia ever actually building this missile defence system for China on the scale necessary would almost certainly require China to pay most/all in USD

"For Beijing, Russia’s skilled engineers and mathematicians are a valuable resource for tech and defense industry giants that are hungry for talent and faced with increasingly unfavorable conditions in the United States and Europe"

China also leases large tracts of Russian agricultural land => "More critically, China appears increasingly intent on populating Russia's Far East with Chinese migrants, which has raised deep-seated Russian fears of outright Chinese annexation" #DragonBear

This Putin’s Revenge doco on SBS is somewhat ridiculous. Somehow the media reporting in 2016 that the DNC emails showed the Democratic establishment had actually shafted Bernie Sanders was, really, all about Putin...
I cannot imagine why Ryan and McConnell struggled to trust John Brennan...Hillary was a terrible candidate. Putin did not force the Democrats to nominate Hillary
Apparently Hillary’s health and her collapsing in plain sight in NYC were also a Russian plot ... American liberalism has been broken by Trump.

Good short explainer on Kurdish history & independence. Also note that next year is the 100th anniversary of Sevres treaty in which we Allies esp the British promised the Kurds a referendum for Kurdish self determination (Churchill supported the Kurds)

I found in the archives this Times (UK) 31 July 2006 profile of the late Senator John McCain and his most admirable family of serving sailors and Marines. Note this incredible statistic of dynastic political corruption, which one suspects only got worse since 2006
My google search for this piece also produced this *August 2008* story re Hunter Biden’s ‘entrepreneurial’ activities amid his father’s lawmaking office holding....I am sure this was all above board as well.

Will simply say, again, that when Caesar marched on Rome, a good century of dynastic political corruption and plundering of the Republic’s offices meant that Caesar, even with his legions, was always pushing at an open door, due to popular disgust with the status quo

RUSSIA CONNECTS

The West, being overtaken by China & those allied with it has repeatedly signaled its intent to weaken those rising to threaten its continued ability to be World Control HQ.

The East has largely until recently hoped for a change of heart & a return to sanity.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

The East doesn't wish conflict, it wants stability, strong relationships, security & trade.

The West has shown time after time its malign intention, to disrupt & destabilize, creating chaos, organizing provocations, sanctioning, sabotaging, ever threatening war.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

Color revolutions have become the West’s favored means of undermining nations & replacing governments.

The fomented insurrection occurring now in Hong Kong is another example of its cynical attempt to generate chaos with a view to furthering western aims.

“The signal that has been disrupting satellite navigation for planes flying through #Israeli airspace in recent weeks originates inside a #Russian air base inside #Syria, according to data collected by a #US-based researcher.”
@karolcummins @MingGao26
“This interference to the GPS reception doesn’t appear to be specifically directed at #Israel, but rather...is likely collateral damage in an effort by Moscow both to protect its troops from #drone attacks & to assert its dominance in the field of #electronicwarfare” #Russia

#Putin starts with rare words in English to "Donald": Ok, Shall we start? Then says a new era of cooperation is at hand. "There's no reason US-Russia relations should be complicated. On 'so-called' interference, the Russian state has never interfered in US election & never will"
Trump just slammed "obstructive" Democrats and the press in prepared remarks at press conference with Putin at #HelsinkiSummit
Q: This morning you blamed the US. Do you blame Russia for anything?
Trump: Yes, I blame both countries. Mueller probe is ridiculous. There was no collusion. There was nobody to collude w.

So Trump uses false equivalence to let Russia off the hook for attacking his own country😡

#Russia's UN envoy Nebenzya starts speaking at UNSC meeting on #Syria, alleged #ChemicalAttacks in #Douma, promises "he'd have to say a lot and the delegates'd have to listen"
1."#UK, #France follow #US in destructive policies in SYR, use blackmail, threaten RUS,
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.
In #EasternGhouta radicals have been terorrizing population for many years. Now people are being freed..But external sponsors prevent this progress.Terrorists wanted to continue blackmailing civilians
