Russia doesn’t need every influencer on its payroll. If trusted Western voices repeat Kremlin narratives, Moscow gets the message delivered with someone else’s credibility. That’s influence warfare at its cheapest. https://t.co/8ictFAyUcf #Russia#disinformation #Counterintelligence

Russia's influence on American influencers is a real phenomenon, with figures expatriating to promote anti-American content. #RussiaInfluence#PsyOps#JeremyBoreingShow
Russia is actively courting Candace Owens, playing to her ego with flattery and praise. This strategy aims to integrate her audience into the Russian propaganda network, a significant victory for them. #CandaceOwens#Russia#JoshuaCarr
Reconstruction has scarcely begun in Gaza, only about 5% of rubble has been cleared. Almost none of the pledged aid to Gaza is yet flowing. The key impediment: donors (including Arab donors) require Hamas disarmament as a precondition for aid - and Hamas won't do it.
Humanitarian improvement is held hostage by Hamas, which has put its own dominance ahead of its subject population's human needs.
The Palestinian dilemma is that while their political movements are very successful at stoking anti-Israel odium, those same political movement's feel almost zero concern for the people they purport to speak for.
Israel has many enemies. The Palestinians have few friends. True friends would push for Hamas to lay down its arms so reconstruction can begin.
The strategy of "resistance" has failed again and again since the Arab Revolt of 1936. It's time for a strategy of "Take the deal even if you don't love it because it's better than living in tents waiting for the next war to turn out better for you than the last war did."
Three years ago, a secret Chinese police outpost in New York was exposed. It wasn’t just an unregistered office- it challenged U.S. sovereignty and allegedly helped Beijing monitor and intimidate people on American soil. If one existed then, sleeper cells could still be here. #FBI #China

Long obvious, but confirmation always welcome. Especially to expose Western politicians who still share fantasies about ignoring Russian aggression to "focus on China".
We are a big, brash, diverse, loud country that has certainly made lots of errors. But frankly, the enthusiasm that you see in the parts of the country where the World Cup is, is extraordinary.
The fact is that, especially for Europeans—and the other Western countries—coming here and seeing the scale… the fact that the West, and the Mountain West, and the Midwest, which is not really the West at all, and the Northeast, and the South, and then Texas and Florida, which are places unto themselves—and that’s just the continental 48, and the Great Plains. It’s so diverse, not just geographically, but culturally and culinarily. It’s an incredible landmass with an incredible diversity of people.
And yeah, have we had an arrogance that made “ugly Americans” a thing all over the world. Like, okay, here come the people who think that by just speaking English louder, anyone will be able to understand English. Yeah, that’s true about a lot of Americans.
But it has been pleasurable to see the joy that people coming to the United States taken in what it is that we are.
