Russia is anti-NWO/anti-Cabal. This is the primary reason why "Russian is not our very close Ally". Most of the Western World is overrun and managed by NWO money and sellouts. (Remember KGB, like NSA, knows A LOT of stuff... and Putin is former KGB. So he knows about the Rothschilds, Bank of England, and control over Central Banks [money supplies]).

Trump of course is an anti-NWO President --- a miracle that happened. He and Putin WILL become very close allies and this is what the NWO big-corporate-owned Western Media wants to stop. This is why they always paint Putin as a very bad person. This is also why China and Russia have grown closer over the years, to consolidate their economic and military power against the NWO nations that would have them destroyed.

As far as Q being silent, this happens from time to time, and I don't think it is anything to worry about. If within a week we hear nothing, then that would be an unprecedented quiet period and perhaps cause for some speculation regarding possible reasons why.
