Article doesn’t mention how Spain’s far-right Vox was founded in 2013 with funding by the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK was taken off State’s list of terrorist organizations in 2012) or how Vox’s leader spewed QAnon disinformation re 2020 US election and spoke at CPAC in 2021.
While Ted Cruz provides support for the MEK-initiated Vox party in Spain, Rudy Giuliani is under criminal investigation for his work for MEK, which he’s acted as an agent for since at least 2010 when it was on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations. foreignpolicy.com/2019/04/27/spa…
In 2010, when extremist cult MEK (once an ally of Saddam Hussein’s and whose leaders applauded the 9/11 attack) was on State’s terrorist list, then-Rep. Ted Poe (Texas), a birther, read into Congressional record Giuliani’s speech from an MEK rally in NYC.

In SDNY’s criminal probe into Giuliani’s MEK work, the US District Judge appointed the Texas-based firm Bracewell as Special Master; firm was Bracewell & Giuliani until 2016; Ted Cruz’s predecessor Kay Bailey Hutchison, who first advocated for MEK in ‘97, joined firm 2013-2017.

More terrorist attacks are expected as countless people are stranded in Afghanistan trying to evacuate while the Taliban calls the shots and ISIS and Al Qaeda target the U.S. and fight for power.

Trump and Biden both have blood on their hands for their part of this crisis.
The Trump administration was a treasonous criminal regime; its top guy is among many facing future criminal indictments.

The Biden administration failed to treat the job like a crime scene. Any deal that Putin’s POTUS made, especially with the Taliban, needed to be voided.
Biden played a pivotal role in U.S. history by democratically transitioning power from the Kremlin’s weapon in the White House, back to the U.S. But Biden and his advisors have made him a one-term President with their “better than Trump” strategy, which hurts national security.

President Joe Biden’s speech was a failure, just like his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. It was misleading and offensive. It was a speech of a one-term President.
When Putin’s former POTUS used his position to weaken the Afghan government and strengthen the Taliban, the U.S. military stabilized the situation. Biden’s job was not to worsen it. He failed and gave a speech blaming those currently fleeing for their lives from the Taliban.
Before his term ends, Biden will have to deal with the “Taliban narco-state” of Afghanistan, a crisis the next U.S. President will inherit and will require a global response.

Every member of the Kremlin’s ‘Freedom Caucus’ needs to be prosecuted for crimes against the U.S. and the deaths of countless Americans.

These criminals are spineless cowards who will go as low as required to serve Putin while humiliating themselves and betraying their country.
Putin’s ‘Freedom Caucus’ members need to be arrested and prosecuted for conspiring to overthrow the U.S. and participating in a domestic terrorist attack against Congress and the Vice President to illegally keep in power Putin’s Oval Office operative.

Putin’s top FL ‘Freedom Caucus’ operative Ron DeSantis is killing Americans and worsening a pandemic. He’s a five-alarm threat to Florida and national security.

DeSantis works for a hostile foreign enemy and needs to be prosecuted for murder and treason.

The Republican Party is split between those who work for different sectors of Vladimir Putin’s interests. Some as disinformation/chaos agents, others as business partners, like in the energy industry. The former are openly leading QAnon. They need to be arrested and interrogated.
The President of the United States is Joe Biden. Any elected official who says otherwise needs to be immediately terminated from office and arrested by the FBI as a domestic terrorist. Traitors need to be put on trial, including current/former members of the House Freedom Caucus.
A U.S. Capitol Police Officer, one of many who risked their lives protecting democracy and lost colleagues who died doing so, recently testified before Congress that those involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol are domestic terrorists.

Some are still waging war on the U.S.

a) Putin causes humanitarian crises, he doesn’t alleviate them;

b) Putin uses humanitarian crises, including those he causes, to further the Kremlin’s agenda, using Russia’s “aid” as political propaganda that advances military objectives.

1/6
In 2014, Putin invaded and illegally annexed part of Ukraine, causing a humanitarian crisis displacing millions and escalated his war in eastern Ukraine using humanitarian aid as cover to advance military operations; fake aid for a crisis he created.

In 2020, during peak of pandemic, as Russia executed a disinformation operation about Covid aimed to hurt the West, Putin sent “aid” to Italy that looked like a soft power move; turned out to be 80% worthless and gave cover for a GRU intel operation.

With a million new cases of Delta variant in the UK the past month, and 50K new ones a day now, the government is ignoring health experts and lifted protections against the pandemic while opening night clubs and endangering the youth.
European leaders are implementing measures to deal with Boris Johnson’s failed leadership as the Delta variant spreads, including his anti-common sense approach as he lifted basic safety measures and his total disregard of warnings from health experts.
theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…
WaPo reports Biden officials are monitoring impact of Boris Johnson’s reckless policies as experts sound alarm he’s endangering countless lives. Biden officials should do opposite of him; whether Johnson or DeSantis, don’t follow Kremlin-backed fools.
