Democrats should stop forcing a Russia and Trump relationship, just to discredit Trump and make him unpopular among the American populace.

What a Propaganda.
So why is Julian Assange still in jail? Mr free world 🤡

⚡️ In an unannounced visit to 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia earlier this week, 🇺🇸 CIA Director William Burns expressed frustration with the Saudis, according to people familiar with the matter. He told Prince Mohammed Bin Salman that the U.S. has felt blindsided by Riyadh’s rapprochement with 🇮🇷 Iran & 🇸🇾 Syria.

🇷🇺 Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, freed from a U.S jail last year, on Friday urged 🇺🇸 U.S Ex-President Donald Trump to seek refuge in Russia as his life was "in peril."

Bout, also known as the "Merchant of Death," was swapped for U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner in a high-profile prisoner exchange between Moscow and Washington in December.

"I believe your life is in peril," Bout wrote in a telegram sent to Trump and shown to the press in Moscow.

"The Biden administration will not stop just by dragging you through the court/prison industrial complex," he said, referring to Trump's successor Joe Biden.

"They would sooner end your life than let you stand in their way."

Bout told Trump, whom he has long admired, that he would find a "safe haven (in Russia) and from here you can lead the fight for the American people."

Bout was serving a 25-year sentence in a U.S. prison when he was swapped for Griner. He has since joined a Russian nationalist party.

Accused of arming rebels in some of the world's bloodiest conflicts, Bout was arrested in Thailand in a U.S. sting operation in 2008, extradited to the United States and sentenced in 2012.

Washington and Moscow have in recent years held several prisoner exchanges.

There are still several Americans held in Russia.

Last week, Russia arrested U.S. journalist Evan Gershkovich and charged him with espionage, provoking an international outcry.

Washington has called the charges against him "ridiculous."

Foreign AffairsU.S Nuclear Bomb Damaged In An Accident At Dutch Air Base (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 4:08pm On Apr 03, 2023
One of the 🇺🇸 US nuclear bombs stored at a 🇳🇱 Dutch air base may have been damaged in a recent accident, according to a report published on Monday, which comes at a time when a new generation of the weapons are due to arrive on the continent.

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) discovered a photograph of a B61 bomb being inspected for damage by US soldiers, including two from an explosive ordnance disposal unit, and a civilian. The rear of the bomb appears to have been twisted by an impact and one of the tail fins is missing. There is pink sticky tape covering an apparent hole.

A FAS report on Monday said the picture was included in a 2022 presentation for student job applicants by Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, one of the country’s nuclear weapons facilities, and it geolocated the image to the Volkel air force base in the Netherlands, one of six bases in five European countries where a total of 100 B61 nuclear gravity bombs are currently stored as part of a nuclear-sharing agreement with the US.

“It must be emphasized up front that there is no official confirmation that the image was taken at Volkel AB, that the bent B61 shape is a real weapon (versus a trainer), or that the damage was the result of an accident (versus a training simulation),” wrote Hans Kristensen, the report’s author and the director of the FAS nuclear information project. “If the image is indeed from a nuclear weapons event, it would constitute the first documented case of a recent nuclear weapons accident at an airbase in Europe.”

Any damage to a nuclear weapon is known as a “bent spear” incident, and generally kept secret. A spokesperson for the US air force in Europe would not comment directly on the photograph, but said: “The US maintains the highest level of standards for personnel and equipment supporting the strategic arsenal, which includes routine training, maintenance, and security activities, to safeguard America’s critical capabilities.”

https://www.airforce-technology.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/03/Featured-Image-JDAM-1024x576.jpg

“It is US policy [that] we can neither confirm nor deny the presence or absence of nuclear weapons at any general or specific location, including specific exercise or real-world operations,” the spokesperson said.

The Los Alamos National Laboratory said in an emailed statement: “No additional information is available for that photo.”

The B61 bomb is the only tactical nuclear weapon left in the US arsenal, and 100 of them are stored in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Turkey. The bombs remain US property, but air crews from six other Nato allies (the five hosts plus Greece) are trained to put them on planes and fly them. In the event of hostilities, it would require the agreement of the US, the Nato nuclear planning group and, and by dint of the history of the arrangement, the UK prime minister, for the weapons to be transferred to allied planes. Such nuclear-sharing operations are practised each year in Nato’s Steadfast Noon exercise, most recently in November, and since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Poland has asked to be part of the arrangement.

Arms control advocates have long argued the B61 was militarily obsolete and should be withdrawn from Europe as an easy step towards disarmament. The Obama administration contemplated its withdrawal but met with resistance from some European allies who saw it as symbolic of the US nuclear umbrella protecting them, and the idea was dropped altogether following 🇷🇺 Russia’s seizure of Crimea in 2014.
