If you haven't read Grasso's testimony you should, it seems like FBI agents are not keen on obeying the rules of a CHS

So Joffe makes up the whole Russian collusion between Trump and the Russians and used ashis excuse for everyone to not mention his name, he was afraid for his family and self from the Russians.

Well I think that Joffe with help, ruined the relationship between the US & Russia, he should be afraid of Russia now. I mean in lawsuits from Russia and companies, etc. Is he on Russia's banned list?

"Grasso did not recall if Joffe said where he got, and who developed, the data. Joffe specifically asked him not to disclose his identity. "I can't say for certain why" but assumed it was because allegations involved Russia and he feared for his family's safety. #SussmannTrial"

These senators can give every justification in the world why they betrayed America, but no one will believe them. They are only talking about it because they know 90% of America is pissed at them.

It's really a shame that the few senators I liked were part of the crew that voted for it. Hawley did too and then said it was a bad move, not really admitting his fault.

That's funny Cuck Todd, we really feel sorry for you, they really should have kept them in a small town overrun by illegals. These people are absolutely tone deaf, and don't want to be inconvenienced with the policies they push for the rest of the country.

Fuck CUCK TODD

With $40 Billion Secured, Zelenskyy Says Ukraine War Must be Solved Through Diplomacy and Negotiations May 22, 2022 | Sundance

Heh, it’s almost as if Team Zelenskyy read the tea leaves inside the New York Times editorial opinion recently [SEE HERE] that warned Joe Biden he better get to a negotiated peace deal quickly or the administration will look even worse than it already does.

Two days after the New York Times editorial board says, “it is still not in America’s best interest to plunge into an all-out war with Russia, even if a negotiated peace may require Ukraine to make some hard decisions; and the U.S. aims and strategy in this war have become harder to discern, as the parameters of the mission appear to have changed,” now Zelenskyy is saying he needs to enter diplomatic talks with Russia.

(BBC News) – The war in Ukraine can only be resolved through “diplomacy”, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. Speaking on national TV, he suggested his country could be victorious against Russia on the battlefield. However, he added that the war could only come to a conclusive halt “at the negotiating table”.

Meanwhile, heavy fighting is taking place in and around Severodonetsk, as Russian forces step up efforts to seize the whole of the Luhansk region.

The end of fighting in the southern port city of Mariupol has freed up Russian troops for redeployment elsewhere and allowed them to intensify their onslaught in the east. Local governor Serhiy Haidai said the Russians were “destroying” Severodonetsk as they gradually surrounded it. (read more)

Don’t forget there was a critical point made two weeks ago by Defense Intel Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, that not a single media outlet or politician discussed. During his briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Berrier was asked “can Ukraine win” the conflict against Russia?

Lt. General Berrier replied: “That is a difficult predication to make. I think where the assessment is at, is a prolonged stalemate should no factor change on either side. In other words, the Russians continue to do what they’re doing, and we continue to do what we are doing for the Ukranians.” [link]

The facts on the ground show that Russia has gained almost all of the territory they were trying to achieve. The Ukrainians are getting crushed, and they’ve lost the ports and cities they were fighting hardest to defend. “BBC correspondent James Waterhouse said Russia had increased its artillery and air strikes as well as missile attacks – gaining ground mile by mile in Luhansk while the Ukrainians are forced to retreat.”

Comrade Zelenskyy is like the idiot knight in the Monty Python skit who gets his arms and legs chopped off and shouts, “merely a flesh wound.”

In another development, Russia has switched off its gas supply to Finland after it refused Moscow’s demand to pay for fuel in Russian roubles.

Russia won’t just ‘grasp’ any proposal on Ukraine – Moscow

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called Italy’s peace settlement plan for Ukraine an example of “armchair theorizing”

Those who think Russia “will grasp any Western proposal” for a peace settlement do not understand anything about the current situation in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Wednesday, commenting on reports of an Italian plan to end the fighting.

The existence of the proposal was revealed by the newspaper La Repubblica last week, regarding Moscow’s ongoing military operation in Ukraine. The four-step roadmap to peace reportedly includes a ceasefire, the demilitarization of the frontline in Ukraine, a diplomatic settlement of the status of Crimea and the Donbass republics, and an overarching agreement on security in Europe.

During a press briefing, Zakharova said, “it is impossible to believe,” but Moscow has so far not received any proposals from Rome.

Therefore, she could only discuss the media reports about the supposed plan.

Looking at these reports, she added, the proposals seem “so divorced from reality that it is difficult to take them seriously.”

“It is a curious idea that Moscow could be interested in peace initiatives that prioritize the logic of further tightening sanctions against the Russian Federation and continuing military support for the Kiev regime.”

Describing the reported proposals as an example of “armchair theorizing,” she said, “it is impossible to supply neo-Nazis in Ukraine with weapons with one hand, and come up with plans to save the situation with the other hand.”

The alleged Italian proposals, Zakharova claimed, show a lack of understanding of the “real events in Ukraine.”

“But, perhaps, they assume that the Russian side will grab any Western proposal, no matter how absurd it may be. But in this case, they basically do not understand anything at all about the current situation,” she added.

However, she noted that the appearance of proposals such as this could show that Rome is perhaps “beginning to think about the depressing consequences of the military psychosis that was caused by the reaction of the West to the special military operation of Russia in Ukraine” – and the supposed plan could be an attempt “to offer some alternatives to the current escalation, which threatens to develop into a full-scale military conflict between Russia and NATO.”

Zakharova said Russia will officially respond to Italy’s proposals if they are sent to Moscow, “after many days of pure PR in the media space.”

Her remarks came one day after the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, said that “any peace proposal built purely in the interest of NATO and the Western world order should simply be ignored.”

“Or rather, their authors should be told to go in a certain direction,” Medvedev said.

According to La Repubblica, the Italian government shared its proposals with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and leading Western powers.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry earlier confirmed that Italy had shared “its vision” with Kiev and that the government was studying it. However, Ukraine reiterated that it would not agree to any settlement that does not respect its pre-2014 borders, casting doubt on the plan’s viability.

Russia attacked the neighboring state in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc.

Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Putin visits wounded troops (VIDEO)

The Russian president said the soldiers and officers defending the people of the Donbass are heroes and should be treated as such

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu visited some of the soldiers wounded during the conflict in Ukraine on Wednesday. After touring the central military hospital in Moscow, Putin said all of the troops deployed abroad – and families of the fallen – should be compensated.

Putin’s schedule “allowed him to visit in person this time,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the president has been personally involved in overseeing all assistance rendered to Russian servicemen.

Photos and videos shared on social media show Putin and Shoigu, dressed in white overcoats, speaking with medical staff and the wounded soldiers, many of whom said they would like to return to the fight.

In one video, a scout who was wounded in the stomach told Putin he’d like to get back to his unit, and the president said he would make it happen.

In another, Putin remembers the name of a wounded soldier’s son and tells him the boy will be proud of his father.

Later in the day, meeting with the state council on social issues, Putin said the payments to troops serving across the border ought to be increased.

“Because everything is pegged to the exchange rate,” Putin said, “and the dollar in this case, as you know, is shrinking, the ruble is strengthening, so you need to recalculate all this and make payments accordingly.”

This did not apply only to the soldiers’ wages, but to payments to the wounded, families of the killed, housing allowances and other social issues, the president explained.

These are people who risk their health and life for the people and children of the Donbass, for the sake of Russia. They are all heroes, and you need to treat them exactly like that.

US concerned about radicals traveling to Ukraine – Politico

(Fucking Propaganda from our Government, you should be more worried about Nazis coming to the US, as they are already here, assholes)

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly worried that white supremacists traveling to the battle zone would gain combat experience

US militants traveling to Ukraine in order to join the fight against Russian forces are reportedly being interrogated at airports across the country by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of the Department of Homeland Security.

The agency is concerned about “violent extremist white supremacists” returning home with battlefield experience, according to an unclassified intelligence bulletin obtained by the government watchdog group People’s Property last week and cited by Politico.

The bulletin was prepared by the CBP and titled ‘United States Citizens Joining the Fight for Ukraine’ and is dated March 7, just over a week after Russia launched its military offensive.

The document shows that the US government has been gathering information about Americans who had attempted to travel to Ukraine and continues to monitor their activity after they returned back home.

US citizens, including those with previous service in American security services, will “continue to attempt to depart the US with the intention of fighting alongside the international legion of territorial defense of Ukraine to fight in the armed conflict against the Russians,” the report states.

The document then draws attention to the fact that some of these individuals might be attempting to join up with the Azov battalion, which the bulletin states is a Ukrainian nationalist group that is “actively recruiting racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacists(RMVE-WS) to join various neo-Nazi volunteer battalions in the war against Russia.”

The document goes on to provide a definition of the Azov battalion, describing it as a “far-right all-volunteer infantry military unit whose members – estimated at 900 – are ultra-nationalists and accused of harboring neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology.” The CBP bulleting adds that Azov was formed out of two ultra-nationalistic and neo-Nazi groups who “engaged in xenophobic and neo-Nazi ideals and physically assaulted migrants, the Roma community and people opposing their views.”

CBP then details the questioning of six unnamed Americans who were traveling to Ukraine with the intention of joining the conflict. Five of them had been stopped and questioned by CBP officers at JFK Airport in New York and a baggage check was conducted on the sixth individual.

One of the men was revealed to be a former leader of the right-wing Boogaloo militia in Virginia, while another was a Marine veteran who apparently intended to join the Azov battalion along with his friend, also a US military veteran and an active-duty police officer. Border Control officers searched both men’s baggage and found military equipment such as body armor plates, gun slings, military-style clothing, M4 rifle parts and optics.

Another American noted in the document had previously served in the French Foreign Legion and also tried to join the fight against ISIS. A search of his electronic device showed that he had also attempted to join “the armed conflict in Burma, Syrian National Defense Forces, and several other groups.” The individual told the CBP that he planned to travel to a Kiev sports complex that operates as a training base for people hoping to join Azov.

The document makes no mention if the other two US citizens they stopped had any connections to far-right groups, and does not make it clear if any of the interrogated individuals actually reached Ukraine.

The bulletin concludes with a list of so-called “intelligence gaps,'' which are questions that the CBP doesn’t have answers to. These include “how many people would travel from the US to Ukraine to fight”, “what groups they would try to join”, “what strategies they would use to avoid detection by law enforcement,” and finally, “what kind of training are foreign fighters receiving in Ukraine that they could possibly proliferate in US based militia and white nationalist groups?”

It’s unclear* what law enforcement might have to do with Americans traveling to Ukraine to fight, as it is not explicitly illegal for US citizens to join the Ukraine conflict, and no Americans have been known to face criminal charges for participating in the military conflict so far.

According to Politico, the CBP has refused to comment on the document, citing agency policy.

(*Most of the time RT says, “it’s unclear” means they think its bullshit, because it makes no sense, seen it a number of times)
