1. I've been watching the reporting including disinformation regarding #Moldova, #Transnistria and in particular #CobasnaAmmoDepot. I've seen reports that a detonation at Cobasna could be like a small nuke. So I looked at the satellite photo. Rough count about 40
2. warehouse structures ranging up to 13,000sq ft. None appear to be protected by revetments. For comparison, our newest Costco is about 161,000 sq ft or 12 times larger than the largest warehouses in #Cobasna depot. Most are much smaller.
3. The total land area is about 1 sq km. We've got ammo depots much larger than that on this island. Cobasna's ammo is reported to be out of date. If still usable is not likely to be the massive cache of ammo reported and its detonation is unlikely to be similar to small nuke.
4. Also, Russia needs ammo & could have moved it or like everything else in #Russia's military, it's been looted by #Russian corruption. But if the Moldovans call for help to resist a Russian attack, #Ukraine could take the ammo off Moldova's hands and put it to good use.✌️🇺🇦🇲🇩

1. I think @Mike_Pence's claim to have become a member of the Congress related to the plotting of the coup, is an admission and estops him from later denying that fact. Therefore, under the 14th Amendment, he can be disqualified from ever holding a future office.
2. That would not apply to a VP but he claims to be a member of Congress. I think he's had very bad lawyers who couldn't think far enough ahead to win a draw at Tic-Tac-Toe let alone win at Checkers. Chess is totally beyond their ken. His only hope is to testify fully and stop
3. pretending things that never happened. Art. I Speech and Debate applies to Senators and Members of the House. Why pretend to be something you're not when it may make it impossible to hold public office? And based on the speed that the DC Cir has reviewed Scott Perry's phone
1. It appears Jack Smith is seeking testimony for specific things that Pence could have provided but won't. If I'm correct it says Smith doesn't want to delay charging by engaging in a long motions practice to compel his testimony and it also may mean that Pence will be charged.
2. What the call with #45 that Ivanka overheard may have included were words to the effect that Pence agreed to do it and backed out. If Pence said something like, "I changed my mind" he's admitted he was part of the conspiracy. But like the driver in a bank heist
3. who gets cold feet and drives off, until he makes a full and "noisy" withdrawal from the conspiracy he is liable for everything that comes after he drove off and remains fully responsible for all crimes committed before the noisy withdrawal that Pence has never actually done.
1. Other than another terror attack in Kherson killing more civilians the only action of consequence today was the apparent entry of long-range deadly-accurate Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) that took out Russian forces preparing to be deployed from near Mariupol.
2. GLSDB's reported 93 mile range has put almost all of Russian supply lines at risk of destruction. I found Prigozhin' s clownish pleas for more ammunition today oddly on point because every Russian commander is now likely halting offensive operations to redeploy
3. the remaining ordinance before the Ukrainians sniff it out and destroy it. There are few areas of Donetsk and almost nowhere in Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia or Kherson where Russian ammunition fuel and command and control centers, are safe from Ukrainian GLSDB attack.
1. You know who I think has evidence that could convict folks like Gaetz, MTG, Perry, Gosar and Jordan? I doubt they were using secure comms before, during, or after the Jan 6 attack so it's almost certain the GRU/SVR has them committing sedition and now owns them.
2. That's my best guess for why they're so stridently in support of Russia's Ukraine aggression. Knowing that they would engaged in other elicit conduct makes them likely targets for close Kremlin surveillance so when they started plotting with #45 the intercepts were running.
3. I reread the Gates Procedures that control what happens when the IC obtains intelligence about members of Congress. I think there is a good chance that McCarthy has been walled and that's possibly why he's gone rogue with Tucker Carlson who is an active Kremlin asset.
1. #GonzalezvGoogle: I've dealt internet provider immunity for acts of users under 230 and am familiar with ISIS funders' liability under 2333. I believe that 230 was only intended to protect the ISPs that remain passive. Once they do what is alleged in this case and that sadly
2. has become a market norm the firm loses 230 immunity based on a fair reading of the statute and its Congressional purpose when enacted. In regard to amplification of terrorists on line, IMO 18 USC 2333 applies to any US internet service provider that knowingly or with willful
3. blindness provides support for a terrorist engaged in active kinetic crimes against US nationals who, along with their survivors, are the persons with 2333 standing. When a provider finds an ISIS account its only permitted action is to terminate the account.
1. I have yet to see the video of the Putin speech. No international press were allowed to be present so reporting is coming from state affiliate propaganda sources. Will wait and see. He announced he will pull out of Start Treaty but that may be just a negotiating ploy.
2. Under sanctions it's unlikely Russia has the industrial and technological capability to meaningfully compete with the US in a nuclear arms race.
3. There is reporting that tomorrow the legislative branch will meet to address something. Speculation ranges and includes something that may impact Belarusian sovereignty that has been the subject of reports for months. Other areas are also possible targets.
