The "Isolation" Facebook group where Russians stuck at home impersonate famous paintings is by far the best thing to come out of the #coronavirus lockdown. I'm going to post my top 3 facebook.com/groups/izoizol…
Russian #Covid_19 self-isolation art #3
Russian #Covid_19 self-isolation art #2
Russian #Covid_19 self-isolation art #1
I know I said I'd stop at 3 but this one really captures Russia under #coronavirus ... & the constitutional changes Putin rammed through during it
And there were so many good pet impersonators I couldn't not include at least one #coronavirus #SelfIsolation #dog #art

So this is how Putin stays in power forever!? After MP Valentina Tereshkova (a famous former cosmonaut) said the constitutional amendments should remove the presidential term limits, the speaker adjourned parliament to consult with Putin meduza.io/news/2020/03/1…
To be exact, parliament is discussing a reset of the presidential term limit to give Putin the right to run again. Very interesting after Putin said last week he didn't intend to head the state council as was widely expected rferl.org/a/russia-putin…
If parliament resets the term limit with the constitutional amendments, Putin could stay in power until 2036. The fact the proposal was made by the 1st woman in space, ruling party MP Valentina Tereshkova, suggests it comes from high up meduza.io/en/news/2020/0…

Iran admits responsibility after less than 3 days. Russia still hasn't admitted its links to MH17 after 5 years apnews.com/21f4a92a2dfbc3…
It took Iran mere days to admit it shot down the plane, apologize & promise prosecutions. When a US ship shot down an Iranian airliner in 1988, it took 8 years for the US to express "regret" & pay compensation & it never apologized. The captain got a medal slate.com/news-and-polit…

Russian state TV films Russian instructors in Central African Republic, who say they have nothing to do with Wagner mercenaries. But oddly enough their "10 commandments of a soldier" sheet has a watermark that matches the Wagner medals previously reported ronin-077.livejournal.com/66748.html
State TV talks to driver of 3 Russian journalists killed reporting on Wagner in CAR, as well as president's Russian security advisor who claims it was a Khodorkovsky "provocation." But it doesn't mention links between driver, advisor & Wagner's Prigozhin (telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/01/1…)
Prigozhin was just sanctioned by the United States for attempted interference in the 2018 elections. A yacht & 3 private planes believed to be owned by him were targeted nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

Some thoughts, from a historical perspective, on the striking tension between the truly global nature of the #coronavirus challenge on the one hand, and, on the other, the responses around the globe that have been distinctly national in scope and uncoordinated in character. 1/
The realization that diseases and pathogens don’t respect national borders has formed the very basis of international health politics in a “modern” sense and has guided transnational cooperation in the realm of public health since the mid-nineteenth century. 2/
When 12 states sent representatives to the first International Sanitary Conference in Paris in 1851, establishing public health as a matter of international diplomacy and law, they did so because they were convinced that some form of border-crossing health regime was necessary 3/

Det är svårt att föreställa sig om det som sker i Kina. Uppenbarligen samlar de in dissidenter. All internet trafik är spärrad utom de källor som kommer via den kinesiska staten. Det som pågår i Kina angående #Coronavirus är en krigshandling av främmande makt.
Det här viruset är
gjord av människan. Ryssland, Indien, Taiwan vet att viruset innehåller HIV.

Därmed är skiten tillverkad av människan. Det sägs att den slår hårdare mot kinesiska män än mot andra raser, vilket betyder att denna "attack" kommer ej från deras egna led.

Fortsättning följer.

Best thing to come out of this election?

A completely unleashed Trump means:

all that stuff Sessions & Rosenstein & Horowitz & Huber had to keep under wraps for more than a year, the curtain can be tossed of it.

None of it was politicized before the midterms.
The only thing that leaked was the McCabe grand jury. And it quickly sank 'neath the surface again, quickly forgotten.

So Democrats and DNC Media can't do the "OMG YOU POLITICIZED THESE INVESTIGATIONS BY ROLLING THEM OUT BEFORE THE MIDTERMS!" talking point.
Trump said repeatedly it'd take him and his team 2 years to 'get up to speed'.

We're almost there. A lot of preparation has been done behind the scenes WITHOUT politicizing any of it so the Democrats could scream & wail about their heroes being persecuted & energize their base.
