CI, CT and US foreign policy. Focus on Putin's Russia & Trump's America. History buff. Opinions are my own. RT does not equal endorsement #NeverTrump

[Defense Priorities @defpriorities]

Saudi Arabia is not a U.S. ally, and the U.S. can meet its narrow interests in the Middle East without providing unconditional support to Saudi Arabia.

There was a time when Russia was good at running spies. That time has apparently passed.

[Christo Grozev @christogrozev]

The top secret documents passed on by the Italian navy officer included @NATO secrets, just like in the Bulgarian case. The officer got EUR 5k for the docs (commensurate with the bribes paid to the Bulgarian officers).
Jesus, GRU's espionage runs cheaper than our investigations.

[NCSC Director Wes Street @NCSCStreet]

#OTD 2008, former DOD official Gregg Bergersen pleaded guilty to charges of passing US secrets to Tai Shen Kuo, a New Orleans businessman who worked for the PRC. Bergersen was sentenced to 57 months in prison. Below, Kuo is captured on @FBI video passing Bergersen cash for info.

RT if you oppose Republican voter suppression.

Lies. But then, that is her specialty.

[Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany]

President Biden begins his first press conference by touting the rate of vaccines being administered, a feet solely made possible by President Trump's Operation Warp Speed.

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

Well of course he has. The Dear Leader must approve all GOP candidates for office. Brooks is a loyal Trumpist and traitor willing to overthrow the US govt to install his master as President.

[AL.com @aldotcom]

Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks says he has discussed U.S. Senate run with Donald Trump many times. https://t.co/UfqsjSh47p

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

Sure. Move to Russia.

[Claude Taylor @TrueFactsStated]

Ivanka wants to “rehabilitate” her image. Anyone have any suggestions?

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

@aldotcom Brooks belongs in jail, not the Senate.

[Evelyn Farkas @EvelynNFarkas]

Looks like the Chinese decided to test our new team with an undiplomatic ambush. And it sounds like @SecBlinken and @JakeSullivan46 held their ground and passed the test. No more pushing us around, and China will also have to play by the international rules.

[War on the Rocks @WarOnTheRocks]

How civilians view the military is well studied; the inverse, less so. This podcast discusses. https://t.co/CZ4fZZJVsF

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

Oh, I'm sure they re-read "Mein Kampf" or something. How about less focus on fascists and more on the actual winners of the most secure election in history.

Well, the last time the Italians went along with a foreign Nazi it didn't work out so well.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Steve Bannon loses bid to start right-wing political academy in Italy https://t.co/HUkHfbFCI7

@Drumkit13J @20committee She is not the issue. Using uniformed soldiers for a political purpose is. John is correct, this is dangerous and inappropriate.

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

@MollyJongFast He did have a pet. Named it Mike Pence. Tried to put it down right before leaving office.

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

Good. About time.

[AL.com @aldotcom]

A member of Congress is calling for U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks to be investigated for his role in the Jan. 6 protest that led to Trump supporters occupying the Capitol. https://t.co/fIlXQo1HpM

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

Never to late to change. Now if only your former colleagues would have such an epiphany.

I disapprove of what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. - Voltaire

Guess we've lost sight of that principle these days. I despise TC and don't consider him "press", but he still has rights...including 1st amendment.

[John Schindler @20committee]

Folks, the 1st Amendment exists for assholes; polite normies seldom need 1A protections. If you support press freedom only when you like the source, you don't actually support press freedom.

I can't believe this has to be said, but we live in a stupid age. Pass the Brawndo.

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

@joshtpm If you're American, it's a shot. And you are correct. US English is the gold standard. What they speak in the UK is barely intelligible.

[Michael Moon @mwmoonAL]

The only credit Donald Trump deserves related to Covid is credit for killing a half million Americans.
