Putin has lost a friend who let RT work from Belgrade after the EU banned it, and who invited Russia's FSB to investigate his own police.
🧵[1/8] Here is why Putin will miss Aleksandar Vučić after Serbians voted him out.

Not sure all the people who have gone to see “You Can See Everything” realize what a crackpot Elizabeth Holmes and Billy Evans have allied themselves with. His “films” will give you a better sense: justblood.com/

This is quite something ! Serbian RTV channel starts yesterday's bulletin by apologizing to viewers👇
"For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology”

The takeaway from the Stubb–Støre call is that #Putin has no intention of negotiating an end to the war. Let’s stop indulging in the West’s usual self-flagellation over whether the call was coordinated with other Europeans, whether it makes us look weak or strong, and so on.

This is a must-read investigation by InformNapalm and Ukrainian Militant showing how Russian intelligence attempted to organize a paid protest in Budapest to promote Rosatom’s nuclear project. Everyone needs to see Russia’s tactics

And yet again, another Trump family scandal, with the same Putin crony ONCE AGAIN in bed with Trump Jr.
The same Putin crony that paid for the Trump family's two day island party is now continuously involved in the Trump family's personal lives.
The Financial Times reveals that Trump Jr. just spent two days hunting in Mongolia with Umar Kremlev, to whom Putin awarded Russia's Order of Friendship in April.
Kremlev paid had only recently paid for two nights of celebrations in the Bahamas, including a private island costing approximately $100,000 per night and a fireworks display costing around $70,000. Payments were routed through a Dubai company affiliated with his boxing organization.
Trump Jr. and his wife acknowledged the gifts. President Trump subsequently said his son would reimburse Kremlev.
The relationship has now prompted a congressional investigation into possible public corruption and national security risks. Former FBI counterintelligence officials warn that Russian intelligence routinely uses money and personal relationships to cultivate access to powerful Americans.
The president's son is accepting extraordinary hospitality from a businessman connected to Putin's security establishment, while his father directs American foreign policy toward Russia.
The trip highlights the remarkable relationship between a son of the US president and a tycoon with a criminal record who has close ties to Vladimir Putin’s personal security service. Intelligence experts say such connections are ripe for manipulation. ft.trib.al/p0LBRYI

According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

What's interesting about the book on Jared Kushner is that the massive corruption it exposes, verifiable at so many levels, is now simply understood as the U.S. "doing business" to make "peace deals"... except the business benefits the Trump family, not the U.S.

Putin has deployed a fleet of trawlers to map the UK’s undersea cables, The Telegraph reports.
Russia may be laying the groundwork for attacks on critical NATO infrastructure. An analysis by The Telegraph identified more than 500 instances in which Russian trawlers either circled above vital communications cables or spent extended periods traveling along their routes.
The publication examined vessel movement data spanning 4.5 years and identified 17 trawlers that spent long periods moving at low speeds near cable routes. Naval experts say this behavior suggests the vessels may be mapping the seabed using sonar and underwater drones.
Russian vessels may be charting the precise locations of fiber-optic cables that carry data underpinning billions of pounds’ worth of economic activity every day. The information gathered could enable Russia to target this infrastructure in a future conflict with NATO.
Damage to these cables could disrupt banks, hospitals, transport systems and mobile communications.

Two words: 25th Amendment.
Three more words: This Is Madness.

Trump did not post this. No such post is on his accounts. The screenshot came from a Facebook page, Branson Area Breaking News, that calls itself "satire or parody." news.meaww.com/fact-check-did…

Russia is preparing for war in Europe, and they continue to be issued visas.
Spanish police have arrested a former Russian soldier after discovering an illegal weapons operation in Catalonia, near the French border.
Investigators uncovered a concealed workshop inside a rented warehouse in Figueres, approximately 25 kilometers from France. The facility contained 644 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, silencers and weapons components.
The seized arsenal is estimated to be worth €5 million.

A very consequential fallout of the students' victory in Serbia is that Russian intelligence will have to find a new home for its hundreds of spies parked at, or using support from the security apparatus of, or even using passports issued by, Serbia.

Kushner's phone logged into a UAE bank account that received "hundreds of millions of dollars" from the Azerbaijani government around 2018. This isn't surprising to me.
The Trump family has had close ties to Azerbaijan since 2013 through Emin Agalarov, who married the daughter of Azerbaijan's president. 1/

When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum theatlantic.com/magazine/202…
