Trump busted Paul Manafort out of jail to keep a channel to Putin open. Manafort’s company Event Strategies planned Trump’s 2015 campaign announcement that used paid actors. The same company planned a January 6 event where Trump was to celebrate the success of his insurrection.
Putin's grey cardinal Paul Manafort has a long history of organizing active measures against democracy. Before Putin assigned Manafort to Trump his client was Yanukovych. Manafort helped organize a mob that attacked U.S. Marines with Molotov cocktails in Crimea, Ukraine in 2006.
I've been told there's an indirect association between the US Capitol Police officer who committed suicide and Paul Manafort. Correlation is not causation, but the insurrection had inside help on January 6. The mob was seeded with agents provocateurs who directed it.
Putin's grey cardinal Paul Manafort was the architect of the take-over of the Republican Party and elevation of Russia's asset Trump in 2015-16. His prior experience was the take-over of the Party of Regions and elevation of Russia's asset Yanukovych in Ukraine from 2005 to 2010.
Like his boss, Putin, Manafort is a cold-blooded killer. He's an accomplice to mass murder in the Maidan Massacre he advised his client Yanukovych to carry out in Kyiv in Feb 2014.

His daughter wrote in a hacked message: "You know he has killed people in Ukraine? Knowingly."

In February 2014 a fire at Party of Regions headquarters in Kyiv revealed the "black ledger" or Manafort Papers. Ukrainian anti-corruption activists exposed the Putin-Manafort-Yanukovych plot. If Americans had paid attention, the Putin-Manafort-Trump plot might have been stopped.
When Russia launched the Trump-for-President active measure against the U.S., Trump began making public statements that repeated Kremlin talking points about Russia's invasion of Ukraine – such as nonsense about Crimea. I started writing in Aug 2015 about Trump as Putin's puppet.
Putin assigned Paul Manafort to be his "grey cardinal" or handler for Russia's asset Trump. At this point I was pretty much shouting for Americans to pay attention to Russia's war on Ukraine that was obviously expanding to the US. Many good Ukrainians gave the same warnings.

Russians believe they are at war with the United States. Putin regime propaganda has overwhelmed them with this disinformation. Russians have been told the lie that their army invading Ukraine is facing "coloured troops from NATO." #RussiaInvadedUkraine is truly a global war.
Live in the world as it is, not as you wish it to be. The Russian Federation is at war in Ukraine, invading Ukraine. It has been for 6 years, 10 months, 24 days. A state of international war exists and the Russian Federation is the aggressor state. It should be declared as such.
#PutinAtWar is global war. The Russian regime of state terrorism assassinates people anywhere in the world. People of conscience have been shot, poisoned, pushed out of windows, blown up and bludgeoned to death in the US, the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine and other countries.

Russia is at war with Ukraine. A tactic of Russia’s invasion, especially in Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014, was to send mobs to seize public buildings. The mobs were indoctrinated by TV and Internet disinformation, seeded with Russian agents.

This is how Trump attacked the Capitol.
Over 74 million Americans voted for a Russian asset, Trump. They have been indoctrinated to believe Democrats are a greater threat to the U.S. than aggressor Russia. American democracy is as unstable after 4 years of Trump as Ukrainian democracy was after 4 years of Yanukovych.
Most Americans don't know and don't care about how a mob was organized to seize the Security Service of Ukraine building in Luhansk or the Donetsk Regional State Administration Building. But they should. This tactic of Russia's global war against democracy has come to the USA.

The men Putin backed to be presidents are in power in Ukraine, the USA, and Belarus. Zelenskyy capitulates to invader Russia in Donbas and ignores Crimea. Trump takes direction from Moscow as he dismantles constitutional government. Lukashenka begs for Russians to take over.
In Britain, Putin is very happy to have gotten away with decisively interfering in the Brexit referendum and to have the amoral nihilist Boris Johnson as PM. He would have been OK with Soviet Union nostalgist Jeremy Corbyn. He fears and hates Keir Starmer.
In France, Putin would have preferred the fascist Marine Le Pen as President. But he has managed to turn Emmanuel Macron and gotten him to adopt an obdurate appeasement policy towards Russia. Macron now sides with invader Russia against defender Ukraine.

Horrific war crimes were committed last week by Putin and the Russian army invading Ukraine. The world is ignoring them, as it ignores in general the Russian Federation's war in Europe. 1/8
On July 13 a Ukrainian scout, Lt. Dmytro Krasnohrud, was killed by a landmine in no-man's land near Zaytseve, north of Russian-occupied Horlivka. This turned out to be a trap, set by the Russian army, to commit the war crimes which followed. 2/8
A local truce was arranged between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army in the area, the 1st Army Corps (so-called "DPR"). Ukrainian medics went to retrieve the body of the killed scout, wearing and displaying the internationally-protected Red Cross emblem. 3/8

On Twitter, I have been talking about Trump as a compromised asset of aggressor Russia since August 2015. Trump-for-President is an extension of Russia’s war against Ukraine. To Putin, Trump is just another Yanukovych.
Trump stands up for the Russians. He does not stand up for American troops.
Trump believes and repeats everything he is told by Putin. He rejects contradicting information from US intelligence. He said Crimea is “Europe’s problem” and “has a lot of Russians.” Trump has never affirmed US policy and international law that #CrimeaIsUkraine
