BREAKING: Putin warns new Russian weapons will target US if it deploys missiles to Europe

BREAKING: President Vladimir Putin warns new Russian weapons will target US if it deploys missiles to Europe.


Russia will respond to any US deployment of short or intermediate-range nuclear weapons in Europe by targeting not only the countries where they are stationed, but the United States itself, President Vladimir Putin says.

In his toughest remarks yet on a potential new arms race, Mr Putin on Wednesday said Russia was not seeking confrontation and would not take the first step to deploy missiles in response to Washington’s decision this month to quit a landmark Cold War-era arms control treaty.

But he said that Russia’s reaction to any deployment would be resolute and that US policymakers, some of whom he said were obsessed with US exceptionalism, should calculate the risks before taking any steps.

The Nobel Committee should award Peace Prize to Alec Baldwin just for epic Trump meltdown

A NOBEL MELTDOWN

?w=620



Trump exhibits his stupidity on a daily basis, most recently when he accused Saturday Night live of collusion because Alec Baldwin did another impression of him. Who is Saturday Night Live colluding with? Does Trump think the “Deep State” are writing their jokes?

...............

I think the Nobel Committee should award the Peace Prize to Alec Baldwin just for the epic meltdown we’ll get to witness from Trump. I don’t think even SNL could write a skit that would be more entertaining.

Pence couldn't believe... Flynn got caught.

McCabe describes Pence reading the FBI briefing materials on Flynn's lies: "Immediately his face changed. His expression turned very cold. It hardened ... His head shook, but barely — tiny shakes of no ... He said a few things along the lines of I can't believe this." P. 203

hmmmm, more popcorn anyone?

Q: Have you been interviewed by Mueller?
McCABE: I have. I have.

Q: Those memos that you and he kept, are those going to hold up in— let's say he's impeached. Will they help the prosecution or not?
McCABE: I don't know that I can answer that.

McCabe - Re Nunes' presence at the Gang of 8 briefing on the Russia investigation

Re Nunes' presence at the Gang of 8 briefing on the Russia investigation, McCabe says in the book: "I looked at Rod (Rosenstein). Rod said, At the end of the day it's his recusal. it's his choice, I can't enforce it. We can't kick him out of the room."


We had to cut this for length, but McCabe told me that his guess is that the White House "immediately knew the steps I took after Jim got fired, and the cases I opened" because of Nunes. "When I was surprised to see Nunes at the briefing, I knew it would happen very quickly."


And here is what McCabe says about this in the book: "Now that the Gang of Eight was a crowd of two dozen in the room, I thought, the chance of this not getting back to the president was basically zero. Then Devin Nunes walked in, and the chance was less than zero."
