Just watched "From Russia with Lev." Rachel brought the metaphorical receipts. Lots of video and photographic evidence of Lev and Igor's connections to Giuliani and Trump. When Trump says he doesn't know them, it's obvious he's lying. It's also obvious that the Trump White House was coordinating their criminal efforts with #FoxNews. (1/2)
I also think the documentary answers why #Putin invaded #Ukraine. When #Trump pulled all support for the Zelenskyy regime, it sent a signal to Putin that taking Ukraine would be okay. When #Biden was elected, though, Putin realized that he had little time to take Ukraine, because Biden and US allies would rally to protect Ukraine.
There's a direct line between the Giuliani scheme with Parnas and Fruman, and the 2022 #Russia invasion of Ukraine, in my opinion. (2/2)
@DanKravetsky The documentary makes it clear that the #Russia military intelligence agency GRU was funneling disinformation through Lev and Igor to coordinate with what #Trump wanted, i.e. a #Biden scandal.
#Putin wanted a corrupt compliant #Ukraine on his border. Zelenskyy was an honest reformer with pro-West leanings. Add an honest US president who's pro-NATO, and that meant Putin thought he had to act ASAP or lose Ukraine to the West and NATO.
It starts with Rudy, Lev, and Igor.
@WordsmithFL going to have to watch it.
it's a really good documentary. there was so much more going on than we knew at the time. 🤯
@peeppeepcircus @WordsmithFL the worst part, is anyone with basic critical thinking skills knows there was a lot going on. There are so many lacking the ability to think critically, including my brother, who took critical thinking in college (so he thinks he's great at it, yet I dismantle many of his claims so easily).
@WordsmithFL I've maintained, since day one of that war. that the former guy opened the door for Putin to invade Russia. I wouldn't doubt that it was orchestrated between the former guy and Putin. He alienated our allies, and attempted to befriend our enemies, making it much easier for Putin to invade.
