“Until recently a project manager earning a decent salary in China, Nero is now training to be an FPV drone pilot. “I want people to know that not all Chinese people support Russia’s aggression. Many Chinese people, like me, are kind and want to help Ukraine,” Nero said.” Sounds like Spain in 1936.

Early this morning, during Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine, a drone violated Moldova’s airspace at around 05:43. It flew over Bender (Tighina) and exploded when it hit the ground near the village of Hîrbovăț in Anenii Noi district.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

Before unleashing the attacks, Paxton’s campaign took in $40,000 from donors linked to the Chinese Communist Party
