#Russia's state media has been promoting this idea of "genocide" in #Ukraine for quite some time now (thread). Don't assume anything is off the table while the Kremlin continues to pursue this narrative as an attempted justification for its future plans.
There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory”.
ICYMI in 2017. Politician who publicly asserted that Russia has kompromat on Trump (Nikita Isaev, not pictured) died from what is believed to be another one of the FSB's poisonings (see below).
#Russia's state TV shows a clip of an opposition activist abroad discussing protests & the possibility of Russia falling apart in the future. Host and experts cry out: "He is advocating the overthrow of the gov’t!" "Treason! Give him 20 yrs in prison!" "Jail him for those words!"
RT’s Margarita Simonyan derides Russian opposition activist, exclaiming: “Who is that fat-faced guy? That freak should have no freedom, no citizenship—nothing!" "Before he loses weight in prison, I want him to worry every night about which countries his plane is flying over!”
RT’s Margarita Simonyan: “Bastards like that [opposition activist] or like #Protasevich should be taken off planes, or—like our boss [Putin] said—wiped out in the outhouse. No big deal... I’m all for that.”
The Trump admin bought ventilators from Russia, but our hospitals can't use them since the same make/model was linked to two hospital fires in Russia. Now we're donating 200 U.S.-made ventilators to Russia and paying all costs, including delivery expenses (roughly $4.7 million).
