"In the Obama admin, there were two women who are experts on Russia -- Victoria Nuland and Celeste Wallander -- who tried to warn everyone and came up with solutions to deter Putin in 2016. They were largely dismissed." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/41951840
"Folks who'd been tracking Russia in Ukraine had a better sense of what was happening. Nuland and Wallander came up with options to deter the Kremlin, including revealing damaging info about Putin. They were sidelined." -- @davidashimer on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/41951840
"The Obama admin decided to wait to punish Russia until after the election because they believed the risks outweighed the benefits." -- @davidashimer on @gaslitnation
"It became evident to me after interviewing many Obama admin members that fear of Russia *tampering with the actual vote* was what captivated them in the summer and fall of 2016." -- @davidashimer on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/41951840
"There are two ways to interfere in an election:
1) Change minds through propaganda, money, or other means
"Obama knew that Russia was systematically probing, targeting and penetrating our election systems. The White House focused on preventing escalation with Russia in an attempt to stop them from affecting actual votes." -- Shimer on @gaslitnationpatreon.com/posts/41951840

Blinken was always a terrible pick for Sec of State due to his family ties to Israeli espionage and organized crime. His stepfather Samuel Pisar was the best friend and lawyer of Robert Maxwell -- the criminal Israeli "superspy" who was Ghislaine Maxwell's father.
Robert Maxwell died in 1991 and was given an elaborate Israeli state funeral. Pisar, allegedly the last person to see Maxwell alive, became Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer.
I've gone over the Maxwell family history many times, but here is an excerpt of HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT with key details:
When I learned Biden had selected Blinken for Sec of State, I was horrified. Even if Blinken were an honorable man -- which he is not -- it is too easy to compromise someone raised by the best friend of one of Israel's most notorious spies and mafiosos.
Tweet from March 2018. I still think this is the crux of what's happening. Assumed it would play out under Trump, not Biden. But it's one continuous agenda, with recurring actors.
Another tweet from 2018. Worth considering as the Biden admin lets Ukraine down, dragging that war out while prioritizing Israel. Upon Trump's reinstallation, this will turn into straightforward support of the Kremlin.
The people to look at most to see where this headed are Netanyahu, Kushner, and their broader network in Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and the US. Look for overlap and at people installed to ensure elite criminals thrive. Among them, Merrick Garland:
Imagine if in 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, Netanyahu was recorded without his knowledge bragging that “America is a thing you can move very easily” and that a video of this is online:
FFS we’ve known about Trump’s Hitler fandom since 1990, when Vanity Fair reported on it. That’s 34 years ago, people! archive.vanityfair.com/article/share/…
It should chill you that Biden and the DNC don’t understand why the average Dem voter is horrified by the mass slaughter of 25000 civilians and in particular, 13000 children.
That objecting to child murder is so unfathomable to them that they think it’s is an op is revealing.
Before you “but Hamas” my mentions, the average Dem voter also finds the murder and kidnapping of 1200 civilians in Israel horrifying.
Which is why they don’t want more carnage carried out, with their tax dollars, on a massive scale against Palestinians who didn’t do anything!
Trump built his political cult by convincing some Americans that acts of cruelty and corruption were justified and should be applauded. He got his kicks from getting ordinary people to back atrocities they would have once opposed — especially when it was to show fealty to him.
Johnson is a religious fanatic who believes God appointed him to serve Israel. He has met with the Kahanists — the most extremist sect of Israel’s govt — more than any US pol except Jim Jordan. His moves toward other countries should be viewed through this lens, not separately.
Israel and Russia have long worked closely together. Oligarchs from the former USSR with multiple citizenships, including Israeli, fund the US Congress. Mafia ties, religious fanaticism, and kleptocracy bind the worst of these countries together and annihilate US sovereignty.
Many Russia experts have chosen to utterly ignore this relationship, even though the first arrest in the Trump admin was about illicit deals between Kushner, Flynn and Russia concerning Netanyahu’s illegal settlement plans. Always was about Israel. theguardian.com/us-news/2017/d…
