In today's Russian papers: the Russian word for "nut job", plus rumours that Donald Trump "could soon be impeached".
Remember Russian newspaper only parrot what was repeated the previous day in Russian TV....
This is extremely interesting in that this is the exact number of troops mentioned in KSA PRs/tweets/social media videos during a largescale Arabic army exercise held in KSA just after Russian entered Syria....
Islamic Military Coalition announced a reserve force of 34,000 soldiers to particpate in anti-terror operations in the region
Appears than now once KSA has swung Trump to the Sunni side with his visit we see this being now announced as a not so subtle warning to Russia, Assad and especially Iran.....
This Sunni Army was blocked to a degree by Obama policies and their backing off KSA....
So did Trump inadvertenly in his need to get get "massive jobs" PR commit the US to militarily support Sunni's against Shia?
He sure did.....
Opinion: #Trump trip to #SaudiArabia was "unseemly, unethical and bizarre", says the Wash Post's @anneapplebaum :

BTW..all of the Trump statements made during the campaign used to fire up his base against KSA and 9/11, Muslims, "radical" Islam and Obama/Clinton in their visits to KSA were thrown completely overboard in the name of "jobs PR"....
I can't remember a single time in which a U.S. secretary of state banned American reporters from a press conference:
http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/21/medi...s-conference/#
Insightful comment from a very astute EU Swedish former FM....about the Trump speech...
Truly farsighted policy should aim at bridging - not deepening - the dangerous divides of the Islamic world.
By pounding away on the theme of evil vs good...it really did border on speech made by Crusaders in Strasbourg before they departed for the ME and their Crusades....almost work for word if one can read old German....
Under the rubric of "JUST what the h...is this?" Especially when the US has a designated SoS in place and with Trump.....
WH announced Trump is "exhausted." So Ivanka and Jared -- NOT THE SECRETARY OF STATE -- take over. Acting like Saudi Royals.y
I personally remember WHEN Trump constantly trashed/bashed Clinton for apparently not having the stamina to do the job of President AFTER travelling more than 930,000 miles in four long years setting record then at DoS...then broken by Kerry....
Trump exhausted after "flight and two days on the ground"....??
REMEMBER this is the same President who refused to allow a physical be done to prove his state of health...
So if he cannot fulfil the duties of the position he can in fact resign due to health reasons....
Ivanka gives Saudi speech on female empowerment. Female reporters were kicked out, but were told later it was great!

Interesting comment concerning a number of postings made here concerning the ongoing FBI CI, criminal investigations and coverup investigation against a "person of interest near Trump"........
And the comment that the SC has in fact informed Trump of an "intent of impeachment"......
Reporter said words to the effect of "a bunch of us have this story/stories but no one's running it".
THIS is the exact reason Russian information warfare is working so well in the US and why social media has been basically outperforming MSM when it comes to investigative journalism...
IF MSM who had a lot of this Russian connections information prior to the election had in fact released it we would not be where we are today....in a mess....
MAYBE that is why sources now seem to be tilting to social media journalists and bypassing MSM....
BTW US MSM sat on the Steel Dossier for literally months...
What is interesting though is the fact that now both MSM with their sources are talking with social media journalists and comparing notes....as all sources are balancing each other and filling in holes...
Social media states..
We are not lawyers and don't theorize legal rationale or precedent but report what reliable sources say happened
Some say the WH is right now leaking faster than the Maine being sunk in Cuba....
This appears to be related to the outcome of the Trump Russian FM WH meeting and Trump telling the FM he is not concerned about activities in eastern Ukraine basically signalling a green light to any future Russian actions there...
Unconfirmed but if true...IMPORTANT
There are unconfirmed reports of Russian Forces amassing in two places in eastern #Ukraine: #Donetsk and #Dokuchaevsk.
OSCE has been seeing a massive build up in these two areas as well...and has reported on them complete with UAV imagery....what is not being seen are tanks and IFVs being stored in every available...barn...empty factory building and open farm shed...
There are several non-linked sources saying the same thing #Russia concentrating regulars and latest tanks behind the contact line.
Ideal tank attack weather..ground dry and warm temps...there has been a sudden Russian resupply in the last week as well which was unannounced.....unusual as they always announce them and there has been a strong Russian troop build-up in two locations on the Ukraine Russian border....with one tank convoy spotted and videoed...
This should help readers understand this process...BTW..if the SC is involved directly it might be a solid indication of how advanced the FBI CI investigation is as the SC has control over FSIC who issued the FISA warrants to begin with and if it involves indictments for treason and or espionage then it is automatically a SC thing....
This tweet has aged very well from a proTrump alt right ie white nationalist and heavy twitter account in the world of fakes news...and was involved in the support to Le Penn
2 weeks ago they finally pulled the Muslim Ban off his website and now @realDonaldTrump's changed his header to this.
Anyone notice the hyprocrisy.....
Manafort who was Trump's unpaid campaign manager in the beginning for four months has a long history in Ukraine....and that is at the Center of the FBI CI investigation and possible money laundering.......
Interesting overview of Paul Manafort's decade long work for a pro-Kremlin party in #Ukraine
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/featu...-russia-probe#
Ukrainians have passed to the FBI copies of a black book that contained 12M USDs in payments to Manafort through Belize/Cyprus off shore accounts....from the now deposed former Ukrainian President and his political party the Party of Regions....
Ukrainian oligarch money is everywhere in recent GOP campaign....
New leak via @funder: reportedly Mitch McConnell-linked super PAC took $2.5m from pro-Putin Ukrainian businessman Leonard Blavatnik
TRUMPLEAKS DOCUMENT LEAK:
419 docs—Trump lawsuits-contracts-leases-settlements—all legally obtained.
AND legally verified....not fake news as many proTrump supporters will argue...
Link to docs:https://drive.google.com/drive/mobil...?usp=sharing#…
It's gonna be a very long week for:
McConnell
Ryan
Burr
Sessions
DeVos
Nunes
Mnuchin
& our focus: Mike Pence
Sen. McConnell's father-in-law owns cargo ship that got busted w/90 lbs of cocaine
Mitch's wife=Trump Transport Sec Elaine Chao
Docs: Mitch McConnell linked super PAC took $40,570,000 from 4 of Trump's largest backers last election cycle
No wonder McConnell has been basically dragging his feet in pushing a Senate investigation....for 40M I would drag as well....
Court Docs: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was major player in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme & made millions off it
Actually, Kushner had direct contact with a straight-up KGB officer:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...bank-of-spies#
APPEARS he did not include that small fact under the Foreign Contacts and businesses on his security form SF 86...
Overheard in German Foreign Office: If Saudi had invested $320b in Iraq & Syria instead of US arms, would Iran have as much influence there
Very valid comment....
In response to Senate subpoena, Mike Flynn plans to invoke the 5th amendment.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/mike-fl...na-1495462069#
So what exactly was he going to incriminate himself on???? If as he and the Trump WH say...there was nothing wrong in his conversations with the Russian Ambassador.....
AND he and the Trump WH says are no Russian connections and or businesses and or money....
During the campaign, Flynn criticized the technology specialist who set up Hillary Clinton’s private email server for invoking his Fifth Amendment rights 100 times during a court case.
NOTE at least he went to court...
Trump has also blasted Clinton associates for pleading the Fifth, arguing, “If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?”
There are indications that he is facing a FARA indictment as well as several other indictments.....rumors have it that he is trying to get an immunity deal from DoJ-FBI thus not testifying ......
