Democracy, which is the central value of the Western world, constitutes a geopolitical threat to Russia. Any pro-democracy uprising in either Ukraine or Belarus represents an existential threat to Russia’s authoritarian system and its Great Power ambitions

Hybrid warfare

“An effective information campaign helps rising expectations beyond what’s reasonably achievable while fuelling the anger and disappointment when the expectations are unfulfilled.”

Attacking schools, residential areas and civilians (etc.) exploits the West’s focus on humanitarian challenges. Sabotaging reform processes would equally undermine the international support and destabilize [the country] from within.
Exporting and exploiting corruption within the political system is an element of the same strategy. Corruption within the fields of politics, justice, security, and defense erodes the confidence required in order to stabilize [the country ...]. and attract foreign investments.

Sounds like Ratcliffe is obfuscating and covering for Russia - same way they did with the “report” that made China sound like the real election threat. Now they’re switching up and saying it’s Iran.

Never Russia tho.

‘See, Iran had our voter registration data too’ *wink wink*
This passed through a server in Estonia.

But I guess Ratcliffe wants to assure us that it’s all about Iran.

There is a new Giuliani interview that just came out that is disgusting.

Not unexpected, but this is the lowest, nastiest thing I’ve seen or heard of in US politics.

I’m not going to retweet it.

I can only see two things that they might be trying to accomplish.

Since Fox is reporting that the FBI has taken possession of the laptop, they are clearly trying to create another Comey “investigation announcement.”

So either:

1) They may have a handpicked team who will do this for them, and “leak” an “investigation” to the public, or

/2
2) They may be putting the FBI in a position where they know there is no grounds for an investigation, so that they can claim all these nasty things about the Bidens, while claiming that the FBI is refusing to investigate them. This would be the “Q”/Deep State” play.

McGrath seems to be doing well and hitting some solid notes in her debate against McConnell.

This statement really hits home:

McGrath: “You’ve been hearing it all night long - more excuses. He’s not just a member of the Senate; he’s the Majority *Leader.* And he still can’t get it done.”

Like Lindsey Graham and nearly every other Republican, McConnell needs to paint his opponent as part of a vaguely evil liberal conspiracy.

@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell is very clever with words.

He puts on the “I am but a simple statesman trying to do my job,” pretense while in reality, he is personally responsible for obstructing everything the American people need.

Then he blames others for the result
@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell pushed hard to use pandemic funding as a way to undermine Social Security.

Why? Because that is the agenda of his wealthy donors.
@senatemajldr McConnell blocked dozens of Obama’s judges from ever having confirmation hearings, leaving empty seats on the bench.

Then, he let his wealthy benefactors put their own judges in place when Trump took office.

This is what packing the court actually looks like.

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, A Michigan sheriff opposed to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order, told a crowd of about 350 that the governor’s quarantine measures are akin to mass arrest of the state’s residents.

mlive.com/news/grand-rap…
Sounds like he is on the air tonight, and doesn’t have much bad to say about the homegrown terrorists who wanted to kidnap Governor Whitmer and essentially try to stage a coup over the MI government.
Could Dar Leaf be one of the sheriffs/law enforcement personnel that the Michigan AG said had attended fundraisers with the “milita” terrorists/extremists?
