However, before you go public, the Gameplan must be in place. VLADIMIR. to you, that means getting the support you need to Bypass or Neutralize NATO. Why? Because, going up against NATO could put your REGIME IN A DIFFICULT POSITION, BOTH MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY. Your attitude about how the average RUSSIAN CITIZEN might be affected in case of a UKRANIAN INVASION IS COMPLETE INDIFFERENCE. They get what you give them. Which, of course, MAKES DONALD TRUMP THE PERFECT ALLY. HE CARES NOTHING FOR THE WELFARE OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, SO YOU TWO HAVE COMMON GROUND.
So it is important is to make sure your new ally is on board with the idea of RENDERING NATO AS IMPOTENT AS POSSIBLE. This is to either Prevent any Interference during the Invasion, or Limit any possible Sanctions to Basic Political Posturing by Members. This would be limited to being Lectured about the Evil you are committing, but nothing of Real Consequence.
THE GOAL FOR YOU VLADIMIR IS:
- Stop Ukraine from entering NATO.
if not feasible...
- Delay Ukraines entry into NATO.
if not feasible...
- Make NATO as weak and powerless as possible.
However, before I get into more detail, I would like to
remind everyone about what NATO is, and why it was created.
For that, let us step into the WAYBACK MACHINE, AND RETURN TO...
CNN)The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot has in its possession more than two dozen text messages, 29 in total, between former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows andVirginia "Ginni" Thomas, a conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to multiple sources familiar with the messages.
These text messages, according to sources, took place between early November 2020 and mid-January 2021. Thomas recently revealed that she attended the pro-Trump rally that preceded the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, but says she "played no role" in planning the events of that day.
The text messages, reviewed by CNN, show Thomas pleading with Meadows to continue the fight to overturn the election results.
"Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!! ... You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America's constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History," Thomas wrote on November 10, 2020.
Thomas regularly checked in with Meadows to encourage him to push claims of voter fraud and work to prevent the election from being certified. Meadows often responded. On that same day as the previous text, he wrote: "I will stand firm. We will fight until there is no fight left. Our country is too precious to give up on. Thanks for all you do."
On November 24, 2020, Meadows promised he wasn't done battling on Trump's behalf and evoked his faith as a source of strength.

"This is a fight of good versus evil. Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it."
Thomas wrote to Meadows on November 19, 2020, "Sounds like Sidney and her team are getting inundated with evidence of fraud. Make a plan. Release the Kraken and save us from the left taking America down." Attorney Sidney Powell, who worked on Trump-aligned lawsuits seeking to challenge the results of the 2020 election, was also referred to by herself as "The Kraken" in reference to the ancient mythological sea creature.
By the end of November, Thomas was getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress of the attempt to find a path to overturn the results.
On November 24, 2020 she wrote: "I can't see Americans swallowing the obvious fraud. Just going with one more thing with no frickin consequences... the whole coup and now this... we just cave to people wanting Biden to be anointed? Many of us can't continue the GOP charade."
The committee is in possession of only one text from the month of January 2021, four days after the riot on Capitol Hill.
Thomas wrote to Meadows that she was angry with Vice President Mike Pence for not taking the steps necessary to block the certification of the election results.
"We are living through what feels like the end of America. Most of us are disgusted with the VP and are in a listening mode to see where to fight with our teams. Those who attacked the Capitol are not representative of our great teams of patriots for DJT!! Amazing times. The end of Liberty," Thomas wrote.
Thomas' messages reflected a belief that the legal challenges presented by a group of conservative lawyers helping the campaign were valid. She attempted to convince Meadows to put his faith in the hands of Powell, who had spent the weeks following the election claiming to have mountains of evidence of fraud that never martialized.
The content of the text messages may be of interest to the committee's investigation, because it asked Meadows in a subpoena to turn over "both documents and your deposition testimony regarding these and other matters that are within the scope of the committee's activity."
The revelation of text messages between Thomas and Meadows, both key allies of former President Donald Trump, comes as progressives and some legal ethics experts see her activism as a potential conflict of interest for Justice Thomas' work on some Supreme Court cases.
Meadows turned over thousands of text messages before he stopped cooperating with the committee. The texts have proven to hold a treasure trove of information about what was going on in the White House in the days leading up to the insurrection, and what people in Trump's orbit were thinking.
The text messages in the committee's possession are only part of the tranche of documents that Meadows provided to the committee during the short period of time he was cooperating with their investigation. They do not necessarily represent the sum total of communication between Thomas and Meadows during that period of time.
There is also the possibility some messages were not turned over due to privilege claims.
Meadows and Thomas are longtime friends, both of whom have been active in conservative causes for decades.
While Thomas has been actively involved in politics, she says she has been careful to distance her activity from her husband.
"But we have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn't discuss his work with me, and I don't involve him in my work," she recently told the Free Beacon.
The work of the January 6 select committee has already come before the Supreme Court. In early January. The court did not stand in the way of the release of thousands of documents from the Trump White House despite the former President suing to keep them secret under executive privilege. The vote on the matter was 8-1, with only Justice Thomas dissenting.
CNN reached out to both Meadows' attorney and Thomas directly for comment and have yet to hear back.
A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment.
This story has been updated with additional developments Thursday.
Come on. Did you really think that a party run by VLADIMIR PUTIN AND DONALD TRUMP wanted a WELL QUALIFIED AND ETHICALLY SOUND CANDIDATE LIKEJUDGE KETANJI BROWN JACKSON on the SUPREME COURT?
Did you honestly believe a party that Supports and Defends TREASONOUS ACTS, HATE CRIMES, FOREIGN INTERFERENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS, FAULTY AND BOGUS SCIENCE FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES, RACIST AND SEXIST DOGMA, etc...CARE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, AND WOULD DO ANYTHING IN ITS' BEST INTEREST?
It is time for AMERICANS WHO CARE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY, ITS FRIENDS AND ALLIES, AND ALL THAT IS GOOD AND DECENT ABOUT MANKIND, TO UNDERSTAND THAT...
...THESE ARE NOT DECENT, WELL-INTENTIONED, RATIONALLY DRIVEN PUBLIC SERVANTS. THEY CAN BE DESCRIBED AS:
VILE- Morally Bad; Wicked.
CONTEMPTIBLE- Deserving Contempt; Despicable.
ANTI- INTELLECTUAL- A person who scorns intellectuals and their views and methods.
SOCIOPATHIC- have no regard for others' rights or feelings, lack empathy and remorse for wrongdoings, and have the need to exploit and manipulate others for personal gain.
(CNN)President Joe Biden has formally asked two Trump-appointed members of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition to resign from their posts or be terminated.
Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz, who are now Republican Senate candidates in Georgia and Pennsylvania, respectively, were appointed in 2018 by President Donald Trump to serve on the council. Trump reappointed them to two-year terms in December 2020, shortly before he left office.
It's against the Biden administration's policy for federal candidates to serve on presidential boards, according to a White House official. The official said letters to Oz and Walker were sent Wednesday requesting their resignations by 6 p.m.
Walker, the current front-runner for the GOP nomination to take on Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in Georgia, said Thursday that he would not be resigning.
"President Biden is so scared about us beating Raphael Warnock that he has asked me to resign from my unpaid position on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition," he said on Twitter. "I'm not a quitter so you are going to have to fire me."
Oz, who's seeking the GOP nod in a contentious primary in Pennsylvania, had taken a similar stand the previous day.
"President Trump appointed me to two terms on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. The White House just emailed me demanding my resignation by the end of the day," he said in a statement Wednesday. "Clearly, Joe Biden can't be around anyone who doesn't completely fall in line with his fear-mongering authoritarian one-size-fits-all COVID handling. I am proud of my service and will not resign."
Members of the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition are considered special government employees, who, per the Hatch Act, "may not be candidates in partisan elections" while conducting official government business.
Earlier Wednesday, the White House announced the appointment of chef and humanitarian José Andrés and WNBA star Elena Delle Donne as co-chairs of the fitness council.
Last fall, the Biden White House asked a number of Trump appointees, including former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, senior counselor Kellyanne Conway and national security adviser H.R. McMaster, to resign from their positions on military service academy advisory boards.
