Doing Kremlin's bidding again: Germany readies to send Georgian/Ukrainian resistance hero to near-certain death. express.co.uk/news/world/154…
"Brig-Gen Giorgi Kalandadze was declared a national hero in his native Georgia after leading the defence against a Russia invasion in 2008, and then went on to lead Ukrainian troops fighting Russian forces in the separatist Donbas region." Germany arrested him for Putin.
Kalandadze is among the best there is. He went to US Army Ranger school. Led the resistance to Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 and has been helping Ukraine's defense since then. Americans ought to be standing up for him. @RangerAssoc
@RangerAssoc "Germany remains a country which lets Russians who are subject to EU sanctions, such as Putin crony and billionaire Vladislav Surkov, travel to Berlin, but detains a Ukrainian citizen based on an groundless Interpol notice that has been disregarded by other EU countries before."
@RangerAssoc As Putin moves to restore the Soviet space in Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, Germany assists by taking out one of the key resistance figures. #Kalandadze
Somehow this is OK in postmodern Germany: "... now the 41-year-old [Ukrainian resistance general from Georgia] is facing potential death if a German court honours an attempt to extradite him on politically-motivated charges." #Kalandadze
Germany is no longer a core Allied asset in defense of Russia.
Germany risks becoming a Russian poison pill to destroy NATO. #Kalandadze

Building their narrative: Senate Judiciary Committee holds hearing today on “domestic terrorism threat” one year after J6. judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/the-d…
Senator Dick Durbin kicks off the hearing by repeatedly calling J6 an "insurrection" and cited the made-for-TV props of a "Confederate battle flag" and a "noose."
He criticized Republican lawmakers for viewing their opposites as "hostile adversaries."
3) Driving the narrative: Durbin raises "school board meetings" as example of terrorist violence against public officials.
Durbin breaks with his Democratic colleagues to call out "left-wing extremism" in places like Portland.
Here's the direct link the CNN story. CNN later altered its headline to remove "Wuhan pneumonia," but it's still in the code as "wuhan-pneumonia-virus." cnn.com/2020/01/08/hea…
Were the @CapitolPolice set up by other agencies to fail on J6?
I keep thinking about the Capitol Police chief at the time, Steve Sund, who testified that FBI, DHS and others provided advance intel that Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc., would be there, but that no trouble was expected.
How could FBI/DHS intelligence to the Capitol Police have stressed that there would be no trouble?
Why won’t FBI deny to Congress that it had assets among the violence planners?
