If I were Putin, I'd be a little worried that Trump thinks my invasion plan is "genius."

I think most people you call “left” on this board would agree with you. In fact, I would say the majority of the “liberals” on this board gripe often about Democrats being pussies that never get shit

My question is simple.  Why is Biden against domestic oil & gas production but is for increased oil & gas production overseas?

Time for Russia to have a new revolution. 

Also the perfect time for US intelligence agencies to retaliate with an equally shady and egregious disinformation and destabling campaign to overthrow a murderous regime. That's what a responsible anti Soviet superpower would've done in the past. Unfortunately we have some people in our government who are perfectly satisfied with this one way street of interference.

US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman resigns

Quote

CNN previously reported that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the need for a new US ambassador in Russia while speaking on the phone last week.

Honestly, I don't know how a straight arrow like Huntsman stayed in this job so long.  Probably because Trump didn't know he existed.

Russian Secret Weapon Against U.S. 2020 Election Revealed In New Cyberwarfare Report

Spoiler

The FBI has warned that “the threat” to U.S. election security “from nation-state actors remains a persistent concern,” that it is “working aggressively” to uncover and stop, and the U.S. Director of National Intelligence has appointed an election threats executive, explaining that election security is now “a top priority for the intelligence community—which must bring the strongest level of support to this critical issue.”

With this in mind, a new report from cybersecurity powerhouse Check Point makes for sobering reading. “It is unequivocally clear to us,” the firm warns, “that the Russians invested a significant amount of money and effort in the first half of this year to build large-scale espionage capabilities. Given the timing, the unique operational security design, and sheer volume of resource investment seen, Check Point believes we may see such an attack carried out near the 2020 U.S. Elections.”

None of which is new—it would be more surprising if there wasn’t an attack of some sort, to some level. What is new, though, is Check Point’s unveiling of the sheer scale of Russia’s cyberattack machine, the way it is organised, the staggering investment required. And the most chilling finding is that Russia has built its ecosystem to ensure resilience, with cost no object. It has formed a fire-walled structure designed to attack in waves. Check Point believes this has been a decade or more in the making and now makes concerted Russian attacks on the U.S. “almost impossible” to defend against.

Seems significant

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/15/europe/russian-government-resigns-vladimir-putin-reforms-intl/index.html

"Russian government resigns after President Putin’s state-of-the-nation address proposes changes to the constitution" 

Putin also proposed multiple amendments to Russia’s constitution. His proposals would entail “substantial changes” to the constitution as well as to the “entire balance of power, the power of the executive, the power of the legislature, the power of the judiciary,” Medvedev explained.

“In this context, it is obvious that, as the government, we must provide the president with a capability to make all decisions,” which are required to implement the proposed plan, Medvedev said announcing the en-masse resignation.

Summary

 

CIA--Russia is coming up with new and as of yet undetectable ways to interfere with the 2020 election.

Jimmy Dore--If they are undetectable how do you know Russia is using them?  You are making all this shit up now to make up a bullshit theory about how the Russians either got Trump re-elected or got Bernie elected.  

Kind of strange how Russia is always helping the candidates the Democrat establishment doesn't want winning elections.  It's almost enough to consider the possibility that the intelligence communities might be infested with members of the Democrat establishment isn't it?

Yep, all the way down.

Which is a real fucking problem.  Critical decisions of national security are being made - or more accurately, not being made - because they might upset the toddler in chief.

Fuck you, Republicans.  You fucking created this monster, so fuck you.

As a former small bit player in the national intelligence apparatus (Air Force intel) and former Republican voter, I am beyond outraged at what these assholes are perpetrating on the country. What a sackless cunt Grenell is. Fucking nut up dude and do your duty as an American. Makes me sick.

The Russian parliament approved a sweeping constitutional reform in the third and final reading Wednesday, a move that will allow President Vladimir Putin to stay in power for another 12 years after his current term ends in 2024.

The Kremlin-controlled lower house, the State Duma, endorsed a set of amendments to the constitution and a provision resetting the term count for Putin after the revised constitution goes into force. It passed by a 383-0 vote with 43 abstentions, and was approved by the upper house, the Federation Council, several hours later.

Shocked.  This is my shocked face:  : I

There was a Frontline several years ago that, like dictators and emperors of old, he's pretty sure he's not getting out of this alive.  There's nowhere he can go and be welcome to sit on a beach and have a mojito, think about all his kleptocratic piles of money while getting blown by the latest ingenue from the Bolshoi.  In order to keep it, he has to keep on keeping on as Russia Mafia Boss #1.  So the variations on how he does this will be interesting to watch over time, but he's still going to do it.  There is no relief for Russia until he dies.  Probably not then.   It's not like they have a history of liberal democracy.
