1) Back in October, I did this thread about what Russia’s next goals might be if Trump wins. Considering Trump now wants Greenland, I don’t think it’s to oppose Russia as people claim. I think it’s to enter into a joint venture with them. Another one of his “deals”. And⬇️

2) This is one of the things Russia is after up there. I would imagine it would be very lucrative for US oil companies as well. What if the US needs its own base of operations in the region to share in the plunder with Russia? That would explain the desire for Greenland. And⬇️

1) Ah, now here is a boobytrap vintage classic. A new take on the Viet Cong bicycle bomb. Ukraine used a remotely-detonated fragmentation bomb packed into the scooter to off a Russian general. This does not bode well for Russia. But let’s continue⬇️ 2) Someone had eyes on him. So the boobytrap could get him and no one else. It’s a necessary evolution from the Viet Cong bicycle bomb. The idea is to boobytrap commonly seen objects military personnel don’t see as a potential threat. Let’s continue ⬇️

1) Who taught the American people that violence is the solution? The US govt did. When the US wants to send a message to a terrorist group to stop doing things, it sends a drone to assassinate one of the leaders. Not only that, but violence has entered politics, too. Because⬇️ 2) The US govt teaches people to cheer when an enemy is assassinated by drones. And the US thought there would never be blowback from that? Or that teaching people violence is the answer could generate a counter reaction? Against the power structure itself? Let’s continue⬇️

1) What they’re planning to do here is perpetrate a tremendous injustice that will hurt those people for the rest of their lives. It has to do with discharge types, the way the discharge papers are written, and access to VA benefits. There’s a lot to cover here, so let’s begin⬇️
2) First off, anyone discharged with less than 24 months in the military will get no VA benefits whatsoever, including health care. Meaning they lose the benefits promised to them through no fault of their own. The military changed policy AFTER they had enlisted. And⬇️

1) This particular strain of weaponized Russian disinformation has already been deployed. I have said that Russian disinformation is modeled after biological weapons. Therefore, it is designed to be highly contagious and to spread rapidly. Things to know⬇️

2) If you see tweets saying election violence has begun somewhere, DO NOT believe it until you FACT-CHECK that story from a genuine news source. DO NOT retweet or quote tweet it. Use screenshots if you want to expose it and debunk it. And I will tell you why next⬇️

1) See, right now, the GOP is scared shitless. Losing this election is bad enough. But suppose Harris is popular and has policy wins. What happens in 2028? Because Trump will maintain control over the party even after losing. He basically owns the GOP. So what that means⬇️ 2) They’re not going to have viable candidates in 2028 because of Trump’s incompetence. And the bastard will be too damn old to run his own self. The party is in a death spiral if he loses this one. It’s too riddled with Trump groupthink now. And in 2028⬇️

1) And now the debut episode for season two of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
This episode: “Stalin’s Magical Census”.
In this episode, you’ll see that when Stalin tells vatniks what the population of the USSR is, they better find that number. Or else. Let’s get started!⬇️ 2) Stalin and his fellow Vatniks came up with the idea to take a census. Everyone should’ve known they were in a no-win situation here. As many people as Stalin killed? And maybe he lost track of how many? Plus the usual unrealistic expectations of Stalin. Lets keep going⬇️

1) Here’s Russian government Sputnik talking about something I tweeted about a couple weeks ago. I was talking about what Russia’s next goals are if Trump wins and Ukraine is lost afterwards. This is what I suspect: The Arctic is what they want next. I’ll show you what I said⬇️
2) In the beginning of this thread, I identified the Baltics as a possibility also. But I identified the Arctic as more likely. And now Sputnik is talking about it, so I think this is Russia’s next grab. If Trump wins, he’ll just let them have the Arctic.

1) And now for a special bonus episode of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
What are you looking at in this photo? Find out in our episode “That Damn Dam The Soviets Built”.
Let’s begin!⬇️ 2) In the photo above, you are seeing the results of this. The vatniks of Putin trusted in the legacy of vatnik-built infrastructure of the Soviet vatniks. And the results are: Typical vatnik disasters. This dam was started in 1963 and went online in 1978. And then⬇️

1) And now a new episode of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
This episode…The Wacky Wunderwaffe MiG!

In this episode, we’ll explore vatnik design and engineering, their frustrated desire to create wonder weapons, and typical vatnik weapons manufacturing.
Let’s get started!⬇️ 2) In this, the Vatniks did something they considered a success: They panicked the Pentagon with vatnik junk. This was always what Vatniks do—and still do. Get the US to think they’re more advanced than they really are. And that their wonder weapons actually work. And⬇️

1) Were Russian-made weapons EVER any good compared to US weapons? Dating back to the Soviets, the answer is this: The Russians can develop a weapon that challenges them. But they can’t keep up with US advances designed to defeat them. Let’s talk about Operation Mole Cricket 19⬇️ 2) Here is a summary. Basically, Israel learned a lot from the Yom Kippur War regarding its losses to SAMs the Soviets had given Egypt and Syria. And so they developed tactics and acquired weapons to deal with air defense. They put those into practice and succeeded. And⬇️

1) Around June 2024, Ukraine smoked Russia’s oh-so-wonderful S-400 air defense system. Evidently, it’s unable to defend against ATACMS. And Israel has demonstrated it’s not much good against aircraft, either. Which is rather bad for an air defense system. Let’s continue⬇️ 2) The ATACMS had cluster munition warheads. They’re now a good multipurpose weapon. Antipersonnel, anti radar, anti SAM, it does it all. But there went the Russians who quickly replaced it only to lose it AGAIN just as quickly. Let’s continue⬇️

1) This makes sense. Remove a critical component of weapons manufacturing and you remove the weapons themselves. This was the idea behind US strategic bombing of Nazi Germany in WW2. Iran made a colossal mistake in provoking Israel with those missiles. Let’s continue⬇️
2) Solid-fuel production is a complex chemical/industrial process. Iran will find the equipment and specialized machinery very difficult to replace. Russia probably can’t help them with this, since Russia is itself struggling in weapon production. Let’s continue⬇️

1) Here’s a Times of Israel article. It’s pretty much what I already said in an earlier thread, but with interesting details. So, Israel operated with impunity in Iranian airspace for hours. That REALLY shows the incompetence of Iranian air defense. Let’s keep going⬇️ 2) So Iran lost its ballistic missile manufacturing, drone manufacturing, plus its air defense capabilities. Probably every SAM site Iran had anywhere near the target zone is now destroyed. Plus the radar. All of it gone. Let’s keep going⬇️

1) What air defense doing? FAILING. For Iran and Russia both. The Israelis defeated the air defense of Iran, much of which was supplied by Russia. And the Russian supplied air defense of Syria immediately before that. Russia gambled in Iran and lost. Now let’s see this article⬇️ 2) So all this hardware that Russia delivered to Iran has utterly failed to do what it was designed to do: stop aircraft. Iran is now vulnerable and, really, so is any nation that uses it. Including Russia itself. Let’s keep going⬇️

1) So when I saw the first reports of this last night and read aircraft were used, I knew two things:
A) Aerial refueling was necessary.
B) Air defense suppression was necessary.
But rather than try to be “first” to say it, I decided to wait for more information. Let’s begin⬇️ 2) This will be a boost for F-35 sales. Recent Russian disinformation criticizing the F-35 is now proven false. And what Israel did is exactly what the US very much wanted to know about the F-35: What’s the airstrike performance of it? Especially against Iran. And also⬇️

1) I know who this Veterans on Patrol group is. They were started by Michael "Lewis Arthur" Meyer in Tucson in 2015. He was going around Tucson city parks doing “homeless vets outreach”. Some homeless people started feeling harassed or bullied by him. Let’s keep going⬇️
2) From the Washington Post article. I don’t know of them from SLPC, I know of them from Tucson where they began. They claimed to have found a “camp” where kids were being trafficked. Police investigation revealed it to be false. But VoP still claims it’s true. Let’s continue⬇️

1) How to recognize the current Russian disinformation weapons:
Does the message do any, some, or all of the following—
A) Incite violence and/or taking up arms, or armed resistance, against the US government, government agencies, its employees, or elected officials.
Next⬇️ 2) Does the message—
B) State that government agencies are coming to confiscate land.
C) State that assistance from FEMA should not be accepted.
D) State that FEMA is interfering in the election or disaster relief does.
E) Call for secession or civil war.

Why these things?⬇️

1) Here is a paper from August 14, 2024. The question doesn’t seem to be “how” but WHEN is the US going to start doing that effectively? Waiting until after the disinformation spreads like wildfire is far too late. Hurricane Helene disinformation proved that. Let’s see more⬇️
2) Correct! And we saw that happen with Hurricane Helene disinformation. But if the president has to come out to try and debunk it, what in the hell are US national security agencies doing? Is there counter-disinformation at all? If there is, they dropped the ball. And⬇️

1) How would you do it? A mass deportation? I can tell you exactly how it would be done. And no one is going to like it. It’s not a one-time action. It’s a process. First off, the federal govt would have to do it, because some states might not comply with it. After that⬇️ 2) The federal govt would need to establish its own ID to establish who’s who. And this would be required for travel within the United States. This is what’s known as an internal passport. To get it would require birth certificate, Social Security number, and fingerprints. And⬇️

1) The current Russian disinformation campaign appears to be headed towards this goal: Creating challenges to the legitimacy of the election and widespread civil unrest if Trump loses. I observed some things regarding the Hurricane Helene disinformation. Let’s begin⬇️ 2) The Hurricane Helene disinformation campaign accomplished this:
A) It was accepted and believed by large numbers of Americans. So much so, President Biden had to say something.
B) It created wide distrust of federal govt institutions. Especially FEMA.

Now about that⬇️
