“Smirnov described one of his contacts, named only as Russian Official 1,”
Sounds like joke journalism from NPR.
@dadada This one. Before you write another post
Why did you write this?
To remind you to do this.
Why do I need to do this?
Because you have been consistently disruptive and insulting and accusatory. I’m giving you this one chance to explain your comment. Define your argument and defend it with evidence. That is why this forum exists.
I said i will take this matter higher so I dont need or want to converse here on this any further.
There isn’t an exemption from being banned because you are in some process of escalating the questions you have. That is very clear in the FAQ rules.

Michigan’s state GOP is a chaotic mess of infighting with Trump loyalists on both sides. Given what we know about the role Michigan Republicans played in Trump’s 2020 plot to overturn the election results, Ali Velshi warns every American who wants to make it out of 2024 with a democracy intact should be concerned.
Putin and trumps MAGA GOP want to destroy the American government as we know it, what is their end game?
All the ways Putin is playing in US politics
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/22/politics/putin-trump-us-election-analysis/index.html
Putin is advancing Russian interests against the US on multiple fronts.
- Yet another US election appears to be falling prey to Russian interference, after prosecutors accused long-time FBI informant Alexander Smirnov of “actively peddling new lies that could impact US elections.” In 2016, US intelligence agencies assessed that Moscow meddled in the election to help Trump.
- Smirnov, who was last week charged with making up false evidence over Biden family corruption in Ukraine, told investigators after his arrest that the material came from Russian intelligence, a court filing from prosecutors said Tuesday. The development suggests yet another attempt by Russia to hurt one of Trump’s electoral opponents.
- House Republicans once held up Smirnov’s evidence as the center piece of their evidence-challenged bid to impeach Biden. Now that it’s been discredited, they are insisting it didn’t matter. But Putin can’t lose. The GOP is seeking to further discredit the FBI — the agency responsible for hunting Russian spies. Even if the credibility of Republican impeachment plans has been shattered, Russia may already have benefited by fomenting more discord and divisions in Washington. “I think it’s another brilliant success as a part of Russian intelligence in meddling in our elections,” Douglas London, a former CIA counterintelligence chief for south and southwest Asia, said on CNN on Tuesday.
- Even the death of Russian opposition hero Alexey Navalny in a penal colony last week opened bitter new divides in US politics. It has refocused attention on Trump’s odd refusal to ever criticize Putin. And Trump’s comparison of Navalny’s persecution to his own legal plight is not just grotesque — it’s doing the kind of damage to the reputation and integrity of US political and judicial institutions that Putin relishes.
- The result is that Russia will again be at the epicenter of a US election campaign certain to deepen the national political estrangement as Biden lambasts Trump over his relationship to Putin. “It’s shameful. It’s weak. It’s dangerous. It’s un-American,” Biden said last week.
- Whatever happens next, Russia will be central to Biden’s legacy. The invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led the US president to invigorate NATO and to send billions of dollars of arms and ammunition to help President Volodymyr Zelensky stave off his country’s elimination from the map. Biden is also shepherding two new members, Sweden and Finland, into the alliance, further weakening Russia’s strategic position.
- In the most unfathomable recent transformation, the Republican Party – which lionized President Ronald Reagan, who beseeched ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” in Berlin – is now enabling Russian expansionism. The refusal of House Republicans to pass a new $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is leading to battlefield gains for Moscow’s forces. And Trump, the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, is vowing to quickly end the war if he’s elected to another term — which would likely mean rewarding Putin’s illegal invasion and snatching of territory that has become the biggest land conflict in Europe since the end of World War II.
- Trump’s warning that he’d invite Russia to invade NATO allies that didn’t reach defense spending targets, meanwhile, rattled the Western alliance and cast doubt on its bedrock mutual defense mantra. If Trump wins a second term and pulls out of NATO, he’d hand Putin Russia’s greatest strategic victory since the Cold War.
- Russia’s capacity to create fear and recriminations in Washington was laid bare again last week, when House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner sparked alarm by revealing a supposed plan by Moscow to develop a nuclear space weapon that could potentially cripple vast numbers of commercial and government satellites.
- On Wednesday, it emerged that yet another American citizen is being imprisoned in Russia. Moscow typically seeks to use captives as bargaining chips for Russian criminals and intelligence operatives held overseas. Ksenia Karelina, a US-Russian dual citizen, was arrested on charges of treason for allegedly donating just $51 to a Ukrainian charity, her California employer told CNN. Other Americans jailed in Russia include Paul Whelan – a former US Marine, who has been held for more than five years and denies espionage charges – and Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was detained last year on espionage charges he and his employer vehemently contest. Their ordeals represent a convenient way for Putin to dial up political pressure on Biden whenever he pleases.
- Geopolitically, Russia is increasingly finding common interests and military synergies with other US adversaries like China, North Korea and Iran. The cooperation is well short of the formal alliance that Washington has long feared. But this united front of autocracies is dedicated to challenging US global power. Putin recently formalized his warming ties with North Korean tyrant Kim Jong Un by presenting him with a new limousine.
Don’t know what to think about Michael Cohen, I tend to stay away from him, but what the heck, for you dadadaddadada, why not, since you’re so special:
What’s it all mean at the end of the day? Why do so many coddled lazy Americans with deep pockets want to destroy our government and allow the Corporate Lords of Universe rule over our nation. Anarchy sounds like a lot of fun for people with assault weapons fetishes.
Although we know Anarchy leads to dictatorship - that’s the real goal at the end of the day? Or?
Did you mean to have that question answer itself?
The generation that grew up with privilege thinks it earned it. They want to maintain that system instead of creating one that might require them doing some work.
Just offering him something to chew on. Sort of like this:
Or we can reminisce about the early days,
I’d forgotten about mr. trump, Putin’s Agent Orange.
Setting russia up AGAIN as the fall guy for bidens defeat in 2024. People are so angry and disgusted with biden in particular what he is doing in gaza that it has come to this act of desperation to be heard - IN THE USA IN. WASHINGTON !!!
Bushnell reportedly sent a message to media outlets before his planned self-immolation. “Today, I am planning to engage in an extreme act of protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people,” he warned. …
Rest in peace, Aaron Bushnell. Rest. In. Peace.
Don’t count your defeats before they happening.
Yes there’s a lot of ugly in the world, and trump wants to fan the flames of the mayhem, and he’s hoping to drive this country to a total meltdown, that’s your alternative.
This world needs Statesmen and women, not more brawlers, with battered brains.
A gun pointed at a dying man in flames is the image america presents itself to the world. The security guard’s action speaks volumes about the US: a violent, agressive state.
Yes, so much worse than this:

It’s weird seeing someone all moralistic and in condemnation mode against America.
