I think the French call it Détente...
Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
Now we also probably can guess why the Jeffrey Epstein file release was a nothing burger... especially since Pam was the Florida AG from 2011-2019...

I’m waiting for Musk to become a Russian citizen and enable X in Russia.

sambereket.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Russia and China ban platforms like X and TikTok at home while pushing their use internationally. Their approach raises questions about how they perceive these platforms' influence.

Exactly

As Putin licks his chops

I'm sure Putin and his gangster friends will be delighted.

Yup

When Trump said that the US has done bad things in the past (some in secret), the rubes thought he'd stop the US from doing bad things in the future. He just wanted to justify supporting the bad guys right out in the open.

gozermac.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Unfuckingbelievable.

grumpysilverback.bsky.social•17 hours ago

We need to now clearly declare that the US government is under the influence and control of Putin and that entities put into positions of power are active agents of Russia.

What further proof could we ask for as to who they’re working for?

What does Putin really have on Trump ? It’s something that definitely scares trashy Trump

Magnitsky Act 2012

Natalia Veselnitskaya was hired to lobby against the Magnitsky Act in the US. She set up a meeting with Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., purportedly to discuss the matter~ pre 2016 election.

This picture shows the result.

Huh.

"The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York filed the Prevezon action on September 10, 2013, seeking to recover several million dollars’ worth of property, mainly New York real estate ..."

Of course, she works for Russia.

marsyd.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Hello, elected officials. Is the U.S. now to fund Russia while it continues to invade Ukraine? And who needs FARA, right? The promotion of treason?

Corporatism gave us the oligarchs. Oligarchs capitalize on chaos as they install their rent-seeking tech platforms and privatize once public institutions. They are often associated with corrupt governments and use their influence for their own interests rather than those of the general population.

princa.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I can't help thinking that just as Trump longed to be accepted by Manhattan's glitterati, he now wants to be accepted by the oligarchical glitterati.

He was never accepted as an equal by Manhattan's glitterati. He will never be accepted as an equal by the oligarchical glitterati.

This: “The department also ended the Foreign Influence Task Force, which was established in the first Trump administration to police influence campaigns staged by Russia and other nations aimed at sowing discord, undermining democracy and spreading #disinformation.” To protect Musk’s interests.

stathiosb.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Because where else in the world can Putin's Russia obtain such access to the thoughts & conversations of U.S. citizens' than on Musk's X? The Soviet Union dreamed of having such an inroad into the minds of everyday people. I do not know why the Biden admin failed to ban X. Europe needs to get busy!

Hey, y'all remember when our country wasn't a fully-owned subsidiary of a murderous dictatorship, cuz a washed up reality TV actor wanted to build substitute phalluses across Asia?

jpcolindesign.bsky.social•17 hours ago

The UK is FINALLY starting to look out for its interests by curtailing the blanket approval of all Russian oligarch ownership of properties in the UK. The U.S. is moving backwards.

pinksalad.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yep. They have to other oligarchs around so they have someone to trade favors with and feel superior to. The power-wealth addiction means they’re never satisfied.

pinkythebunny.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Have we heard of any single concession the Russians have made in return for all of these gifts?

johnsipher.bsky.social•6 hours ago

None

pinkythebunny.bsky.social•5 hours ago

It looks like Britain's strategy is to bend the knee, kiss the ring and hope the new global gangster can be manipulated into maintaining some semblance of a plausible threat until Europe rearms.

I don't like the odds.
