Russia's incoming US ambassador, replacing Kislyak, is under EU sanctions for military aggression in Ukraine. US is okay with that? https://t.co/xLsXejhGUE

Russia has begun to prepare covert bombings, arson attacks and damage to infrastructure on European soil, directly and via proxies. Will our leaders finally acknowledge that Russia is at war with the West and act accordingly? It’s about time. Via @FT⁩ https://t.co/u8QwsdIQxE

Investigative reporter Christo Grozev believes a top-secret Russian intelligence unit, known as unit 29155, could be behind mysterious health incidents reported by U.S. officials.

Basically, all the analysis that talked about how strong Russia was, how weak Ukraine was and how quickly a war between them would be, had a direct policy link which kept the US from aiding Ukraine to win—a problem that continues to this day.the

Trump continues to propagate the myth that Putin didn’t go to war with Ukraine while he was president. Actually, Putin kept fighting in Donbas for the entire 4 years Trump was president. He also occupied Crimea then. Trump did not end that war. He didn’t even try.

An alternative version of history is being written right in front of our eyes. Take it seriously

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Once you understand that the future of Europe is completely tied up with the future of Ukraine, then what needs to happen becomes clear.

Trump's allies are selling out Ukraine in exchange for Russian backing in the election. 1/

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Americans don't seem to realize that Trump's policy - "Let Russia Win" - is slowly becoming America's policy. For more than 6 months, at his bidding, a minority in the House has blocked aid to Ukraine.

Shallow journalists see this year’s election is a “rerun” of 2020, but it’s not. After J6 and the Dobbs ruling, the stakes are even higher. If you’re a journalist and you find this election boring, you’re in the wrong damn business. https://t.co/AhBxZeAKdF

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Put slightly differently, he’s also not being prosecuted because he’s running for president; he’s running for president to avoid being prosecuted.

ABC News is the only major-media organization I’ve seen correctly report that Trump has SECURED a bond, but has not POSTED a bond. He has PROPOSED a bond deal to Judge Kaplan that E. Jean Carroll can OBJECT to by 11AM on Monday—which if she does will lead to a SHOW CAUSE HEARING.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

read the us media and you’d think age is a more important issue in a president than attempt to prevent a free and fair election.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

us democracy is in crisis. this is not readily apparent from the media, because they’re a significant part of the cause.

Donald Trump, who is not the president, is using a minority of Republicans to hand a victory to Russia, and to weaken American power and credibility. Why? https://t.co/HilhVh5fc8

[Mikhail Khodorkovsky @khodorkovsky_en]

This doesn't always cut through the noise, so let me say it openly:

Putin is the enemy of freedom.

It's a cold, hard fact observed and experienced by those who dare to speak, think, or dream of a future outside of his oppressive control.

After 2yrs of murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, occupation & destruction, too many in the West still don’t see: There is no going back to business as usual with Russia. There can be no negotiation until RU is defeated in #Ukraine. Their crimes have permanently changed the world.

"2023 was dominated by a legal/political story that was not only bogus but — according to prosecutors’ filings and the discredited source’s own admission to federal authorities — was a plant by the Russian intelligence services"
