In other Russian news, the smoke and mirrors of Putin's regime sadly continue.

Once again false. Wrong country buddy. No matter, he's an ex-Soviet hack with zero credibility. His big lie about millions of Ukrainians fleeing to Russia is only believed by... Russian media and a certain ice age squirrel that lurks around here.

The Guardian is done as a news outlet. There's no point in even responding or even opening the link. Cameron ran off the reporters in 2014 after he threatened government takeover of the papers for their coverage of national security issues. Before that time, the Guardian and the Independent actually reported on most of the events in Libya and Syria. They created some noise recently when they ran a bogus story from a recurring British intelligence source who was subsequently outed.

It doesn't matter where a writer was born. He works for a conservative UK think tank and writes for a conservative American publication. When they publish an opinion in support of an issue contrary to the administration, there is more significance than others that just toe the noeconservative party line. It is another break in the wall of propaganda that one sees in the US and UK. You're staying much later today than your parents usually allow. A lot of the junior colleges have started college break.

That's hilarious, it reminds me of something I read about China some time ago:-

Ukraine meddled in 2016 election

Not a surprise since they've admitted they were involved in trying to boost Clinton and sabotage Trump, which is evidently ongoing effort. The New York Times tries to spin it as having caused meddling as opposed to being meddling.

Butina claims to be a Russian agent

Her activities are along the lines of Manafort as an unregistered foreign agent, a lobbyist as opposed to a spy. Considering that the NRA will automatically support the Republican candidate and has no voice in foreign policy matters, this doesn't seem a productive avenue for lobbying. Just shovelling money to the NRA will help the Republicans' campaigns.
