@78338477jdjdjs@twitkhou25@barnes_law Release the Epstein “client list” / files. Automatic green cards for people who graduate from U.S. colleges. Mexico pays for the border wall. Rebate checks funded by tariff revenue or DOGE savings. Balance the federal budget “in the near future.”

@twitkhou25@barnes_law Hasn’t done:
End the Russia/Ukraine war in 24 hours. Immediately lower grocery, housing, energy (“end inflation” and “make America affordable again.”)
Cut energy prices in half within 12–18 months
Cap credit card interest rates at about 10%
Eliminate taxes on SS benefits
@BowesChay Correct. More reason, no more hostility. Russia and the U.S. could be great partners if the West would simply accept that the Cold War ended in 1991.
Russia and the US can still work together on medicine, sports, and culture despite political conflicts, says ex-UN Ambassador Andrew Young.
He points out that such ties endured throughout the Cold War and benefited everyone.
A rare voice of reason.
Yesterday CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Moscow. The visit was brief but quickly fueled widespread discussion and speculation.
Official statements from Russia and Washington remain silent on the reason for the trip. Details about his counterparts remain unavailable as well.
Ukrainian outlets along with certain American ones first described the mission as talks on pausing Russian and Ukrainian attacks against energy sites and ports? plus halting combat in the Kharkov and Zaporozhia areas. Subsequent accounts shifted focus toward Middle East matters centered on Iran and the econimic pressure campaign Donald Trump has opened against that country.
The reality is that a CIA Director lacks formal power under the American system to handle any such high level political subjects. Authority does exist for discussions tied to intelligence sharing and secret activities. Sensitive material might still be shared with the host side when required to meet the goals of the journey. Put simply the visitor functions as a messenger delivering data and leadership remarks while entering a non allied state.
The Aircraft he arrived on is also interesting, the choice of a C17 military transport for arrival in Moscow, as a senior figure would never usually ride in the cargo area on temporary seats.
The US Air Force maintains special aircraft for carrying important passengers and groups. These are upturned and modified from corporate jets or airliners and the Director normally relies on them for international travel.
He actually followed that pattern the day before by taking a C40B a modified Boeing 737700 BBJ model belonging to the Air Force as far as Riga. From there he switched to the C17 bound for Moscow.
That particular plane using the call sign REACH 4555 merits a closer look. No pictures appeared from Vnukovo yet several exist from Riga. It belongs to a category reserved for routes through high risk zones. Identification comes from the total lack of paint or serial numbers on the body with nothing more than a tiny American flag on the tail. Such gray planes carry extra defensive gear and electronic warfare equipment. Selection also occurs when the need extends beyond secure movement of top officials to include an onboard command center offering robust protected links and space for handling secret data.
Some Photos taken in Riga reveal multiple extra antennas fitted along the upper body, Gray C17s further allow loading of support gear or cars. Knowledge of the Moscow embassy car pool is limited yet several vehicles in the convoy appeared to originate in the United States. Those cars almost certainly moved Ratcliffe together with his protective team. Communication devices linkng back to the plane based command post may have ridden along as well. Only this arrangement accounts for selecting a gray C17 to support the journey. A direct flight into Moscow aboard the far more convenient C40B remained possible while the embassy already holds tools for rapid contact and data transfer with Washington.
One explanation is that Ratcliffe approached the Moscow trip with extreme caution prompting every available safeguard from low profile guards to cars shipped in for physical defense.
Both possibilities hold some weight. American reporting added that Washington inssted (more likely instructed) Kiev avoid any attacks on Moscow and St Petersburg while their spy chief remained present.
Unconfirmed reports are that President Putin was furious with the CIA Director’s threats telling Russia to reduce tensions in Ukraine
Putin ordered him to leave Russia immediately and ordered the US embassy closed permanently
