1. IMO, #Turkey cannot block #Finland or #Sweden from becoming @NATO members.

The NATO treaty Article I requires unanimous agreement to "invite any other European state . . ."
2. In Madrid, the NATO members unanimously "invited" Sweden and Finland to become members. There was a side "tri-partite" agreement between and among Turkey, Finland and Sweden" regarding the Turkish war on the #Kurds but the accession invitation did not condition
3. the unanimous invitation upon performance of that agreement. Therefore, IMO, nothing Turkey does now can prevent other NATO members granting Article 5 protections to unanimously "invited" Sweden and Finland. Turkey could still refuse to ratify the treaty as to the new members
4. but it cannot block Sweden's and Finland's full membership as to the other NATO members.

IMO with the US #Senate ratification, the USA currently has agreed to an Article 5 obligation to Sweden and Finland. Turkey's Article 5 obligation may await its ratification, but that
5. cannot undue the fact that the "invitation" was unanimous and that is all that the original NATO treaty requires.

1. I understand why everyone is concerned that the DOJ is taking so long to bring down an espionage ring run by the former POTUS but if I were going to address it I'd want to know the damage that had been done before charging and not try to do it after charging.
2. I expect that the reason the NSD is not using DC AUSA's in SDFL is because they have a wall between the CI and Intel side of the shop and the Intel side is still getting access to FISC controlled treasure. The two-hop rule would mean a huge scope that would likely include many
3. GOP in Congress plus people like Musk, Carlson, Koch and even federal judges. If #45 has been selling out agents we need to prove it resulted in a death to add the enhancement that will mean all conspirators are looking life or worse so they won't be allowed out pending trial.

1. Midnen NV. Pop 3001 in 2010. Another pathetic grifter event with a staged backdrop so all the witting and unwitting propagandists can make this total loser into a big deal for a day. To say it's in the middle of nowhere is an insult to nowhere.
2. Actual shots of the "crowd" will be posted in this thread. Let's make America laugh again. Here's where the biggest loser is playing today.
3. Article on Minden and the sad history as a "Sundown Town."

1. When Florida wakes up to what incompetence in the Insurance industry brings they're going to learn it's much worse than they ever dreamed. Banks & Insurance companies had strong lobbies & knew they could control state regulators because fed regulators were watched too closely.
2. So they had Banks and Insurance companies excluded from the Bankruptcy Code. Instead they have a system of state insolvency proceedings that daisy-chain all banks and all insurance companies together so if one falls the others have to pay the loss. We woke up to how that
3. worked with banks when they failed with the Democrats' enactment of FDIC insurance. But there is no FDIC for insurance companies. So when the insolvent Florida insurers start the fail, and they will, the strong solvent ones will also be pulled into the abyss.

1. What's Kadyrov's plan? He claimed to be sending his underage boys to fight in Putin's losing cause. Like the way he kept his own forces from the actual battle at all costs choosing to simply have them post TikToc videos of shooting up empty apartments, this is just for Putin
2. who now lives in a huge BS bubble. Remember, when the callup came Kadyrov said no, claiming his region had already sent more than its quota into Putin's meat grinder. Now he calls for nukes and sending children to fight. Why? I think he is maneuvering to be named the
3. MOD and when he is we can all rest easy that ISIS affiliate has the ability to start a nuclear war. If we think we can stay safe by giving in to Putin and his rapidly advancing psychosis just wait until he names Kadyrov as MOD or better yet, also his successor.

1. I make this Trump Klan rally in Warren Michigan at around 1,200. This is the best shot of the actual crowd size I could find. Sadly posts are simply spreading pro-Fascist propaganda by not reporting on the crowd size that is the only newsworthy fact worth reporting.
2. I think this is the same Warren Michigan venue when he attended in 2016. Here is what it looked like five years ago. I've seen livestock auctions with more folks in attendance.
3. Here is what the full venue, Macomb Community College Sports & Expo Center, looks like with its maximum 4,000 person seating capacity.
