WSJ, the conservative news outlet owned by Fox, is reporting this : Elon M’s Secret Conversations W Putin Since 2022 The conversations coincided with Musk "stepping up his criticism" of U.S. military aid to Ukraine, allowing "Russia's use of X for disinformation," and increasing his involvement in Donald Trump's presidential campaign U.S. officials have not raised any concerns about security breaches by Musk, one person aware of the Musk-Moscow conversations told the Journal, but at one point, Putin asked Musk to "avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping."
Is Elon M Compromised by Putin? What We Know Several current and former U.S., European and Russian officials have claimed knowledge of these interactions, although this intelligence appears to be closely held within the U.S. government A former Russian intelligence officer briefed on the matter claimed that Putin asked Musk to refrain from activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. According to the WSJ, a Pentagon spokesperson declined to comment on individual security clearances but emphasized the importance of safeguarding national security information. One individual familiar with the situation, however, told WSJ "They don't love it," referring to Pentagon officials' attitude to the Musk-Putin contacts.
Former Maine cop is making Kamala Harris and Tim Walz disinformation in Russia A former cop with a checkered past in Maine and Florida is pumping out disinformation targeting Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign from Russia. Dougan is believed to be behind such fabrications as a video widely circulated on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that purports Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz abused a student at the high school where he used to work, and a deepfake audio of former President Barack Obama in which he allegedly implies Democrats ordered the July assassination attempt on Donald Trump, The Post reported. His fabrications are posted to websites with names like DC Weekly, Chicago Chronicle and Atlanta Observer.

gift link will work for everyone Trump Threatens Sanctions, Tariffs on Russia if Putin Won’t End War in Ukraine The president urged Putin to make a deal https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/tr...5?st=76Kx9V&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink text: President Trump threatened sanctions and tariffs on Russia if its leader, President Vladimir Putin, doesn’t reach an agreement to end the war in Ukraine. Trump on Wednesday wrote on Truth Social that if the government cannot “make a ‘deal,’ and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.” The statement marks Trump’s most forceful and public effort to end the war in Ukraine. But Trump also stressed that he doesn’t want to hurt Russia. “I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin,” he wrote. The Kremlin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The threat comes after Trump said during the presidential campaign that he would end the grinding war, which Putin began in 2022, within 24 hours of returning to the White House. Since his election, Trump has conceded that it could take longer. Trump recently said he believes Ukraine “wants to make a deal” and has claimed that Russia never would have invaded Ukraine if he were in office. With trade ties between the U.S. and Russia withering, the efficacy of Trump’s direct threat of tariffs is questionable. Russia exported about $2.9 billion worth of goods to the U.S. in 2024, according to Census Bureau data, down from $29.6 billion in 2021, before the war started. But the U.S. has starved Russia’s economy with broad sanctions, many of which were replicated by other countries, such as an effort to cap the price of oil exported by Russia, and the decision to kick Russian banks out of the SWIFT international payments messaging system.
Russia making fun of the OLD and INFORMED Trump. Sad, really. Why can't Putin just let Grandpa take his afternoon nap? ... You know ... as OLD people are wont to do.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulid...ountry-israel-supplied-captured-russian-arms/ In its recent ground war against Hezbollah in South Lebanon, which ended in a ceasefire in late November, the Israeli military found surprising quantities of Russian-supplied weaponry, which Moscow had transferred via the former Syrian military. The Wall Street Journal quoted a senior Israeli officer who estimated that as much as 70 percent of Hezbollah arms captured by Israel in that recent war were Russian. Israel suspects Russia used a route from its Tartus naval base in Syria, an area Moscow knew Israel was less likely to strike, to transfer the weapons, some of which were manufactured as recently as 2020.
If Russia ever could buy a president they couldn’t dream to get the outcome of what Trump has done since in office. Push Russian propaganda. Check Divide the American people: check. Attack allies: check. Threaten annexation of countries: check. Start a trade war: check. On the way to ruin the global economy: check. Weaken the intelligence community: check
Tulsi was right all along about Syria and they tried to destroy her for simply saying maybe we shouldn’t be funding psychotic Muslim fundamentalists, they will be a problem down the road. So, now they are slaughtering mostly Christians in the streets. The group in charge of Syria is basically Al-queda savages. Those same rebel groups were also aided by Israel and they now run Syria. Where is the Isreali outrage for those folks being slaughtered? Nowhere because they don’t care. Chaos… Russians left and it was just a matter of time. Isreal will try to use it as an excuse to “increase their own security” to snag some land. Syria gets chopped up. Turkey probably grabs a little slice for themselves.
