Russia has been resettling even more Russians in Crimea. Since they’ve annexed Crimea they have resettled hundreds of thousands of Russians there to build support for Russia there. This is a violation of the Geneva convention.

The headline today of the Kyiv Post pretty well sums up a large chunk of the Ukraine scandal. This is how the world sees us now

A HUGE Ukraine update: US trade office asked Ukraine be given trade privileges. before papers went to POTUS desk in August, it was pulled back. Bolton told USTR head Robert Lighthizer that POTUS wanted to do nothing to help Ukraine

Ok...we need to start paying more attention to Lebanon. News hit today that the US is withholding $105 million in security aid for Lebanon. This money is crucial for Lebanon to secure its borders (with Syria & Israel). 1/

reuters.com/article/us-usa…
US officials gave no official reason. The decision by State Department comes day after Israeli officials said diplomats had asked allies to condition funds on action against Hezbollah. I don’t believe in coincidences. 2/

timesofisrael.com/after-israeli-…
This aid withholding comes after PM Saad Hariri left office due to protests. Hariri was a US ally. Now we see a vacuum that Russia intends to fill. Sec. of State Pompeo made an call for Lebanese leaders to form a new government 3/

Another Balkan country to catch my eye is Romania, considered to be one of the most corrupt in the EU. Rudy Giuliani wrote the leader, Klaus Iohannis, a letter Aug. 22nd expressing concern of their anti-corruption efforts. 1/

nytimes.com/2018/08/29/wor…
Rudy worried their efforts were too effective. He was retained by the Freeh Group International Solutions & supposedly handled through his security company, Giuliani Security & Safety. Freeh Group’s a security firm run by former head of the FBI Louis Freeh 2/
Keep in mind Giuliani’s stance is the opposite of US policy. The Freeh group was representing an American Romanian businessman caught in the anticorruption probe. He was later convicted. Both the US & Romania denounced the letter. 3/

Been wondering what Russia & Putin are up to. So I did some digging. I believe it could be 3 possible goals. Putin came of age in the USSR & KGB. While in the KGB, he saw Soviet Russia & Russia’s greatness fall. 1/

pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…
I believe Putin’s 1st goal is to reestablish Russia’s dominance in the world. In the fall of the USSR, they lost strength & ground. In Syria & Ukraine, Putin’s showing strength & force. He made the US look weak in Syria yesterday. 2/

amp.wbur.org/onpoint/2019/0…
Putin is asserting Russian strength even if allies are needed. In Ukraine, Russia has annexed Crimea & seemingly taking Donbass & even possibly Ukraine. This could give them a western border. Putin is succeeding in showing strength.

Here we are, more than 2 years since Schiff publicly claimed to've “more than circumstantial” evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with "#Russians" to hack the 2016 elections, & >2 years since they read false allegations from the #Steeledossier into the Congressional record.
2. The entire scheme has now imploded and the collusion accusation has been exposed as a #hoax. One would think the D's would simply apologize and get back to lawmaking and oversight. But it’s clear they couldn’t stop this grotesque spectacle even if they wanted to...
3. The #MuellerDossier had no comment on the close relationship between D's at #FusionGPS & multiple "#Russians" who participated in the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. In fact, no comment on Fusion GPS at all. No useful info on #Mifsud, #Downer, or #Steele...

Among @NATO members "today there are disagreements on issues such as trade, energy, climate change and the Iran nuclear deal. These are serious issues with serious disagreements," says @jensstoltenberg in address to US Congress.
"We have overcome our disagreements in the past. And we must overcome our differences now because we will need our alliance even more in the future," adds @jensstoltenberg. "We face unprecedented challenges...that no one nation can face alone."
"We will need to continue to deal with a more assertive Russia," says @jensstoltenberg.

Russia’s arrest of American Paul Whelan on spy charges seems a convenient lever to end admitted agent Maria Butina’s cooperation. Just last week Putin hinted w/ this denial: “we will not arrest innocent people simply to exchange them for someone else later”nyti.ms/2CIEbzD
CNN reports more on Paul #Whelan, American arrested in #Russia for allegedly "carrying out an act of espionage"
-born in Canada
-lives in Michigan
-ex US Marine
-works in corporate security
-was in Moscow to attend friend's wedding
-didn't show bc FSB arrested him
(family source)
Russia's FSB arrested former Marine Paul Whelan Dec 28. State Dept? Crickets. Pompeo's in Brazil praising an authoritarian while the world's most aggressive authoritarian VV Putin has essentially kidnapped a US citizen. Putin's dream was to emasculate GosDep. Mission Accomplished

1/12 Today is 4th anniversary of Russia’s military coup in #Crimea, organised by Russia’s Sevastopol troops with help of Ukrainian Berkut (on the run after murdering scores of protesters in Kyiv).
2/12 Feb 27th 2014: government buildings seized in Simferopol & Perekop isthmus taken. Sergey Aksionov appointed as puppet leader at gunpoint. Simferopol airport seized, large-scale Russian invasion.
3/12 On the eve of occupation, mid-Feb 2014, not even most Crimeans for “uniting” with Russia. So Russia engineers fake referendum producing 96.7% support “reunification”, on 83.1% turnout.

🔥Mueller probing #Russia🇷🇺linked Cyprus bank FBME👉🏼FinCEN says it’s a “primary money laundering concern,” facilitating terrorist financing, transnational organized crime, fraud, #sanctions evasion, weapons trading & political corruption. 1/

theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…
Cyprus bank FBME allegedly helped #Russians launder money in support of terrorism & other crimes.🤨

Now, #Mueller is investigating FBME’s financial records as part of his ongoing #TrumpRussia🇷🇺probe. 2/

*DEUTSCHE BANK* allegedly helped Cyprus bank FBME launder money for #Russians🇷🇺. And Mueller is investigating BOTH banks‼️

It’s not just Mueller who’s coming. It’s a WHOLE ARMY of civil servants in FinCEN, IRS, the USIC & other agencies‼️🤗

🔥CONSPIRACY🔥

THREAD: *Many* ties link Team🇷🇺Trump to #Russia. Manafort & Gates were central‼️

👉🏼Manafort: Trump’s most powerful political operative, helped secure GOP nomination
👉🏼Gates: his deputy, was along for the whole ride

1/
 newsweek.com/manafort-trump…
Team🇺🇸Mueller noticed that Putins's🇷🇺allies paid MILLIONS to Manafort/Gates to impose Moscow’s will on #Ukraine in DIRECT OPPOSITION to stated US foreign policy‼️ 2/
Dmitry Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch & close ally to Putin & fmr Ukrainian President Yanukovych, is key to the #Russia🇷🇺Manafort connection.

Firtash owns 45% of RosUkrEnergo (RUE)— a shady operation that brings gas from Turkmenistan to Ukraine.🤨

And LAUNDER MONEY‼️ 3/
