The Armani-Designed NY Condo Where Connected Russians Have Bought Apartments: Aleksandr Udodov, brother-in-law of Russia’s new PM, bought 6 condos at 20 Pine St from Valentin Laskov, casino biz parter of Michael Cohen

Great info in story by @toddprincetv
rferl.org/a/armani-desig…
Based on @navalny investigation about Udodov and 20 Pine Street, this article rferl.org/a/armani-desig… provides much more detail that shows how money flows from different Russian investors with questionable sources often flow to the same properties

More details in this thread
20 Pine St building was owned by the US subsidiary of Lev Leviev’s AFI

In 2015 Kushner invested in part of Lev Leviev’s old New York Times building with a $285 million loan from Deutsche Bank

A nugget in story about Russian PM's brother-in-law Udodov, who bought units at 20 Pine St from Valentin Laskov (Michael Cohen's ex-casino partner)

Laskov had a biz partner Eli Weinstein who ran ponzi scheme & who had funded Lev Parnas

Something tells me the assurances of financial relief related to Coronavirus Trump is making right now may cause a little confusion in the coming days...
The entire speech reminds me of when he said grocery stores and banks would give a break to government workers during the shutdown
But it was nice of all the health insurance companies to agree to waive co-pays, I imagine their customer service departments may be busy in the next few weeks

Timeline on Jared Kushner, Qatar, 666 Fifth Avenue, and White House Policy - a timeline of events related to the Kushners’ pursuit of funding from Qatar for 666 Fifth Ave and Trump-Kushner support for Saudi-UAE blockade of Qatar, by @rgoodlaw @Julia1Brooks
justsecurity.org/69094/timeline…
I love a good timeline - it's a great way to see many pieces of the puzzle

My timeline on Erik Prince, the UAE and Cambridge Analytica includes a lot of overlapping events related to Qatar

In March 2017 Elliott Broidy sent George Nader a proposed $12.7 million campaign against Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood. Broidy referred in an email to secretive anti-Muslim group Secure America Now whose largest funder is Robert Mercer

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.

Back to the USSR: #Russia passes law to jail people for 'disrespecting' the government | World news | The Guardian theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
Reminiscent of Soviet targeting of political dissidents, Russia's new law criminalizes online posts demonstrating “blatant disrespect for society, the country, Russia’s official state symbols, the constitution, or the authorities” (ex "Putin's a bastard") theguardian.com/world/2019/mar….
Russia's new "disrespect" law is peak Putin. Demanding Kremlin propaganda be protected as an exercise of free speech rights while jailing people in Russia for exercising the same. And if you dare point it out, "Russophobia! McCarthyism! Russia hysteria!" stopfake.org/en/russophobia…

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
