40 is not 37.4

"Putin and Trump stage-manage a win-win meeting" (Escobar).  I'm guessing Lavrov's experience was the key in having this work out as well as it did.

Straightforward summaries/explainers:

1. "No, The Russians Did Not Meddle in Our Election by Publius Tacitus" (everything precariously hangs on CrowdStrike, a fact that I'm sure would surprise and shock most Americans);
2. "Terror in Europe - Why Terrorists Are Allowed to Strike" (the terrorist proxy armies of the ICs);
3. "Hiding US Lies About Libyan Invasion" (regime change); and
4. " The Unacknowledged Logic of North Korea’s Missile Tests" (strikingly bizarre to find anything useful in The Nation).

"New front in Syria as Turks rout Kurds with Putin’s blessing". Putin is being kind here - it is better that the Kurds learn the Turkish facts of life sooner rather than later.  They need to 1) not get too full of themselves, 2) avoid like the plague the crooks who run Iraqi Kurdistan, and 3) start negotiating now with Syria - while they still have some negotiating position - for some kind of federal status and protection from the Turks.  Listening to the Americans/Israelis is a recipe for disaster.

It's impossible to believe that he used to run Exxon:  "Tillerson: Russia Must Ensure Syria Does Not ‘Illegitimately’ Retake Its Territory".  Despite all his Iran Talk (which is meaningless puffery, possibly intended to buy some breathing room from the Khazar hordes), Mattis is the only prominent Trump official who presents any sense of competence, particularly striking when Trump's excuse for the swamp appointments was that the swamp was the only place where the competent people were.

Did you know that 40 is not 37.4?  The NYT insists on it.

"Fake News on Russia in the New York Times, 1917-2017" (Herman).  Deep historical background of the current wave of lying.  This isn't the NYT's first rodeo.

The IC/Jew-controlled media are now reduced to recycling:  "Russia Is The Chief Suspect In U.S. Nuclear Power Plants Hack" (recycling this nothingburger with a new 'Bear' pun name, and consistently no threat as the actual nuclear stuff isn't internet connected - the wisdom of the air gap) and "Trump Team Met With Lawyer Linked to Kremlin During Campaign" (old recycled Kushner/Manafort stuff with added Donald Trump Jr., who as he "does not serve in the administration and does not have a security clearance . . . was not required to disclose his foreign contacts.", i.e, more nothingburger, and a meeting involving a blood-curdlingly treasonous plot about adoptions).
