2. There's a lot of hints in those handles...

I need to take a break, today is Sunday.
3. There have been some recent attempts to downplay the allegations connecting SBF to Biden and Ukraine, see here for example:

What Is Behind Claim Joe Biden 'Laundered' Billions in Ukraine Aid via FTX?

newsweek.com/what-behind-cl…
4. Classic Straw Man Fallacy

"underlying implication among the claimants—that Dems were sole beneficiary of donations stemming from FTX wealth—is provably false"

The claim was not that SBF ONLY funded Dems, but rather that Dems received MOST of the $$$

opensecrets.org/elections-over…
5. Further straw man fallacies used by @Newsweek :

A, Did FTX send Ukrainian crypto donations to US?

B. Was U.S. AID misappropriated?

Instead of examining claims they raise specific questions which they then proceed to deny!

The issue of money laundering & fraud is complex.
6. Let's look at the facts regarding crypto donations

Ukraine Crypto Donations Statistics

Last updated: 2022-03-28

Total Donated to Ukraine Government: $ 104 Million

Likely, up to $150 Million + by November 2022

Hmmm, someone found out my secret at last :)
Translated:

"Yes, it is you, the Russian natsik-shaitan, who defends the Russian bioterrorists who sprayed covid in Wuhan at the sports games in October 2019, maybe you were among the biosaboteurs?"

I guess I will have to move to Mastodon now my secret has been revealed.
Don't tell him that I will cunningly change my name to Milly Mostickson, otherwise known as:

"The Great Russian Nazi Satan who sprayed fake Covid-19 Cologne on Mah Jong Players in the Toilets of the Huanan Seafood Market while disguised as a toilet attendant"

"The coverup is immense and still in place. China should now agree to a full and thorough scientific investigation that returns to Wuhan. This black box needs to be opened"

1. A lot of hysterical nonsense being spread around Twitter about an alleged Russian missile attack against two unlucky Polish Farmers yesterday.
2. Some say it was a Ukrainian S300, some say a Russian missile, some say both.

Either way it was clearly an accident that the explosion occurred and the visible debris was located across the border in Poland.
3. An interesting thread mainly because of the absurd comments by Ukrainian and NAFO Trolls who insist that Russia was to blame, even if it was a Ukrainian missile.

1. The other States Parties should ignore the illogical US position and recognize that the product of their work over a decade of negotiations would indeed provide an effective strengthening of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.

via @TwbainusW @R_H_Ebright
2. They should also recognize that the basis for the rejection of the Protocol by the United States at the eleventh hour is unsound as it is based on misperceptions and illogical assessments

1. US will buy 100K Rounds of 155-millimeter artillery shells to give to Ukraine.

Will keep them supplied for "several weeks"

I believe these shells cost $2K each (taking into account some supplies of high-precision ammunition)
