There are only two other times in history Russia has mobilized forces.

World War I.

and

World War II.


For the third time in written history,
Russia has partially mobilized their reservist forces.

It is important, I think, to understand that the war machine can only exist as long as people are afraid.
Afraid of each other, afraid of those in "power" (they are just people too). Afraid for whatever reason.

But the entire construct depends on both rational and irrational fear to motivate populations.
After all, if you do not assume your neighbors want to kill you (and hopefully you do not want to kill them), there is little reason to drop bombs on anyone.

JUST IN - New York AG files civil fraud lawsuit against Trump.

H/T Pirate Queen

The lawsuit the NY AG is bringing against Trump is a *civil fraud suit, not a criminal fraud suit.

This is because Her office did not have enough evidence of criminal wrongdoing to indict a criminal offense.

Section 6663 of US law imposes a civil fraud penalty of 75% of the portion of underpayment that is due to fraud. IF* it can be proven.

In other words.

All for show.

President Trump says he probably will not release the footage from Mar-a-Lago to protect the “safety of the FBI agents that swarmed the place.”

“I don’t think they wanted to swarm it, if you wanna know the truth. I have a great relationship with people in the FBI… It’s not a pretty picture either. It looks like a military coup. It’s not a pretty picture.”

Putin:
"Even nuclear blackmail has come into play. We are talking not only about the shelling of the nuclear power plant encouraged by the West, which threatens to unleash a nuclear catastrophe, but also on statements of the possibility of using weapons of mass destruction on Russia....
If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without question use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people.
This is not a bluff.
And those who try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the prevailing winds can also blow in their direction." 👀
