1. Today Russian insurgents attacked from NE of #Kharkiv and engaged and destroyed Russian amor that was lured into an engagement with infantry supported by tanks of the #RussianVolunteerCorps. Image
2. The reports conflict but it appears the two tanks in support of mounted infantry entered Russia west of where the insurgent forces attacked on Thursday when the insurgents attacked Russian FSB forces at a border control point south of #Shebikino.
3. Thursday Russia moved in and insurgents withdrew back into Ukraine but successfully fixed the Russian mechanized forces for today's attack. With the Russian mechanized forces near of #Shebekino, rather than attack the border control point again, the insurgents Image
4. attacked 2.5 km SW and on other the other side of the #SiverskyDonetsRiver with two tanks and several trucks with infantry forces. The Russian armored forces moved to engage from the other side of the river. Reports vary but it appears that one insurgent tank was Image
5. damaged but was able to withdraw while the remaining insurgent forces destroyed three Russian tanks and moved into the settlement of #Tavolzhanka. There were reported insurgent artillery strikes on #Shbekino that was put into panic. Amid growing fears in #Shbekino Image
6. the insurgents hacked the local radio and broadcasted there will be a referendum Sunday and called for support for establishment of #PeoplesRepublicOfBelgorod that sent Russians fleeing in panic and abandoning the city. In addition, insurgent forces threaten attacks in ImageImage
7. the area to the west attacked on 23 May and in #Valuyki that is 170 km to the east. This could be a feint but it caused Russian forces to deploy to try to cope with the two possible new areas of insurgent attacks. Russia appears poised to lose its first city. Image
8. I find Thursday's big European leaders' meeting in #Moldova particularly interesting and satisfying in the context of today's developments and the news about the #PeoplesRepublicOfBelgorod. Moldova shares a recent history of Russian aggression with #Ukraine. Image
9. Over seven years ago Putin's threatened Moldova and Odessa with creating the Budjak republic. Image
10. 🇲🇩🇺🇦✌️ Image

1. On the purloined documents, Jack Smith has the elements of three serious crimes and proof sufficient to establish willfulness, not just because he said it on a recording but because he issued a presidential directive signed on his last full day in which he admitted he knew.
2. My question has been whether Smith charges crimes related to the attempted overthrow in the documents case. We have heard little about the House and Senate GOP members who joined the conspiracy. The 14th Am and the statutes derived from it establish Congress is not immune.
3. Would Jack Smith charge a #45 and GOP conspiracy in a single case? I think that #45 is likely to be charged alone in a single case that adds the Jan 6 seditious conspiracy to the documents case and then charge a single seditious conspiracy re GOP House Senate members & others.

1. Day three of the invasion of Russia and the insurgents have driven Russian forces from #Shebekino and surrounding settlements, and city the size of #Bakhmut, with a company of troops who now watch Russian artillery destroying Russian towns and a city with Russian artillery. Image
2. In an apparent effort to convince the Russian public the Kremlin is still in control of Russian territory the army is moving rapidly from the areas in Ukraine where the offensive may begin at any time. The movement of forces, equipment, supplies and ammunition has created Image
3. concentrations of targets in logistics hubs in the #Donetsk and #Luhansk regions that are being hit constantly by Ukraine that has conducted hundreds of strikes. In addition, Russia is trying to reinforce the equipment in the #Zaporizhia region and the port of #Berdyansk was

1. Though no formal meeting is on the table, this meeting at the table could break the stalemate. After pondering this, the Trump CAATSA sanctions placed on LI personally for authorizing Chinas purchase Russian made aircraft and anti-air weapons should be addressed.
2. If we're going to sanction Chinese leaders for the decisions to buy Russian weapons, in light of the reality of how China operates internally, we should sanction everyone in the Govt. If not, sanctioning Li appears petty and does not advancing US national security
3. in a time when the two nations' defense heads need to communicate. There is nothing to gain by continuing his sanctions that impact his family now that in fact they have met and appear to hit it off. @JoeBiden @JakeSullivan46 @SecBlinken @SenatorMenendez @Risch4Idaho

1. I've thought for some time that #45's obsession with things to do with Iran, especially towards the end of his presidency, were the result of his credible belief that the IRGC would target both #45 and Pompeo for assassinating Qasem Soleimani on Jan 2, 2020. Image
2. When he ordered it, and then like a dope admitted it, I knew they would try to get him. I also think Pompeo made a deal that allowed Iran to conduct the Jan 8, 2020, missile strike that struck al Assad air base that seriously injured more than 150 US military service members. Image
3. But that didn't satisfy Iranian hardliners who still make threats of revenge. Here is today's new State Dept sanctions against Iranians for targeting former US Govt officials. #45 is terrified. I can imagine him trying to make a deal with Iran to get off the Fatwa by Image

1. Schumer offered Debt Ceiling bill motion to proceed and there was no objection. Several amendments are being reported and they are limited. Require 60 votes to pass. 7:30 pm the Senate will vote. Lee, Cain and Kennedy amendments are treated differently. 10 GOP amendments
2. and 1 Democratic. Each amendment will get 10 minute votes so the members have to stay on the floor. There will be a joint statement by Schumer and McConnell put in the record.
3. I missed what the special treatment was for the Lee, Kennedy and Cain amendments. Here is the link to the Senate floor video feed. senate.gov/legislative/fl…

1. I've been listening to @MSNBC and the parade of hosts and guest losing it over the fact that the document that is being shown in the grand jury is an invasion scenario for #Iran. Notably the reporting is that it was classified as 'Secret.' It's critical to understand
2. where this information came from, how the persons disclosing it obtained the information and why it's more than likely that this is a "Goldilocks" document needed to indict #45 for crimes related to his handling of national defense information including ,but not
3. limited to, classified material. If the guests, hosts or the audience don't know what the term CIPA means, it's the procedural law related to handling classified government information in court proceedings. I concede I didn't know much about it until #45 and his parade of
