Documents Confirm The US Already Delivered Lethal Weapons To Ukraine (Exclusive)

Intel Vets Challenge ‘Russia Hack’ Evidence

Source In a memo to President Trump, a group of former U.S. intelligence officers, including NSA specialists, cite new forensic studies to challenge the claim of the key Jan. 6 “assessment” that Russia “hacked” Democratic emails last year. MEMORANDUM FOR: The President FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) SUBJECT: Was the “Russian Hack” an Inside Job? Executive Summary Forensic studies of “Russian hacking” into Democratic National Committee computers last year reveal that on July 5, 2016, data was leaked (not hacked) by a person with physical access to DNC computers, and then doctored to incriminate Russia. After examining metadata from the “Guccifer 2.0” July 5, 2016 intrusion into the DNC server, independent cyber investigators have concluded that an insider copied DNC data onto an external storage device, and that “telltale signs” implicating Russia were then inserted. Key among the findings of the independent forensic...

Why giving Ukraine lethal weapons would be a massive mistake

Source By Charles A. Kupchan, a professor of international affairs at Georgetown University and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, served on the National Security Council from 2014 to 2017. The Trump administration is in the midst of making a decision on whether to transfer lethal weaponry to Ukraine. This potential move is intended to give Ukraine’s military the ability to impose new costs on the Russians and their proxies engaged in a separatist revolt in the country’s eastern region of Donbass, thereby persuading the Kremlin to give up the fight. But the result would likely be the opposite — an escalation in the conflict that would lead to further losses of...

Mid-Summer Anger

Source By Oliver Stone Congress passed its beloved Russia sanctions last week by a vote of 419-3! The Senate followed with a vote of 98-2!! I guess ‘American Exceptionalism’ includes the vast stupidity inherent in having two giant oceans to distance us from the rest of humanity. With all the Apples and Microsofts and computer geniuses we have in our country, can we not even accept the possibility that perhaps our intelligence agencies are not doing their job, and maybe, just maybe, are deliberately misleading us to continue their false-flag war against Russia? Or for that matter, that Russia itself may not be that invested in screwing up our vaunted democracy with such sloppy...

America's Ukraine Hypocrisy

Source By Ted Galen Carpenter There is an abundance of outrage in the United States about Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Multiple investigations are taking place, and Moscow’s conduct was a major justification for the sanctions legislation that Congress just passed. Some furious political figures and members of the media insist that the Putin government’s interference constitutes an act of war. One especially agitated House member even compared it explicitly to thePearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks. Such umbrage might be more credible if the United States refrained from engaging in similar conduct. But the historical record shows that Washington has...

America promises to arm Kiev again but it will not help

Source By Anatoly Vasserman The new US special representative for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, said in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation that ‘Washington is actively considering the possibility of supplying weapons’ to the Ukrainian authorities to fight ‘pro-Russian insurgents in the east of the country’. According to Volker, ‘a defensive weapon that will allow Ukraine to defend itself, in particular, to hit the tanks, can really help’. In addition, the US special envoy added that such a measure should not be viewed as a challenge or provocation of Russia - on the contrary, it ‘could change Russia's attitude’ to the Ukrainian events. Obviously, it is...
