Blinken says we are sending five M-17 helicopter. Prepared to deploy 8,500 warriors, sanctions, export controls. Stepping up assistance with allies to Ukraine. Looking to bolster UKR’s economy, assure global energy supply is not destabilized through surging natgas stockpiles.
Re Embassy staff family: based on safety as Russian forces amassing on borders. Updated travel advisory: strongly consider leaving using private options.
Q/A

Upholding principle of NATO’s open door as we have done for years. There is no change and will be no change. It’s the alliance’s decision.
Document lays out our core principles & concerns. We lay out areas where we could together advance security for everyone. Approach in good faith. If Russia were to approach this seriously, there are positive things that could be pursued. We’ll see how Russia responds.
Will US take preemptive action?

Aggression will lead to massive consequences. Very detailed work has been done. Shoring up support for UKR, defensive military systems, including other countries’ release of US made arms.

Fully prepared to protect NATO’s eastern flank.
What about Germany? Helmets being sent called a joke by Kyiv’s mayor.

Unprecedented coordination with partners/allies.
Very strong solidarity re consequences, includes Germany. Just met Schultz & confident of solidarity.

Steps we will take *swiftly* include econ, tech.
Is this a “proposal” & what is Biden’s role in crafting message.

States clearly principles we will defend, ours/allies’ concerns undermining security, & Russia’s concerns. Suggests areas based on reciprocity that advance mutual security.

Biden was “intimately involved”.
Putting things in writing is always a good idea and we do it all the time.

Hey, remember how when Bernie Kerik turned over documents to the J6C at the end of 2021, they included a 22-page “blueprint” to pressure statehouse GOPs into going along with the scheme?
I was up for a New Year’s Day “parlor game” of identifying the people associated with the two letter initials on that list.
Serrano Public relations was clearly spelled out. No guesswork required, but delving into exactly who that was provided slim pickings.

Last night, reading a tweet of a Washington Post story on Siggs, the fellow hosting Steve Bannon’s War Room, Mark Serrano’s name popped up!

Seeing as there is so much going on with the J6C, it’s time to share a chart showing some of the key conservative legal groups, including the so-called Honest Elections Project, Judicial Watch, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), and True the Vote.
PILF’s John Eastman is making news today.

It’s true. HE PLED THE FIFTH 146 TIMES.

That’s what people do when they have nothing to hide, ammirite?

This link is from December 3. He appeared before J6C on December 8.

According to Ruby’s fabulous chart, he had to turn over documents on November 22.

If you happen to be thinking about Pennsylvania, when should remember that the Turkish cleric Gulin moved there. Erdogan wants him extradited.
Could this tie into the J6 activities?
Let’s start with this 2017 thread full of Flynn’s movements.
It suggests that Alptekin’s Inovo hire Flynn to sway Trump admin to extradite the cleric. Doing so would advance the interests of a multibillion energy play.

My hunch was the deal is w/ Turkstream, a pipeline that would bypass Ukraine to deliver Russian gas to Europe.
It’s actually petrol from Kazakhstan, but I digress.

While the USA press has been discussing the potential for trouble in Ukraine, it seems to have missed much of what’s actually going on this month in Kazakhstan following protests over natural gas price hikes. A lot of people have died & disappeared.
This is the best explainer at a macro level I can track down.
After protests began organically, the oligarchy called in outside help. They are part of a regional alliance the #csto which naturally includes their neighbors to the north. Like NATO for the “stans”.

So military resources were sent. They did their job and stabilized things.
