Fiona Hill, October 2022: "It's very clear Elon Musk is transmitting a message for Putin. ... Putin plays on the egos of big men, gives them a sense that they can play a role. But in reality, they're just direct transmitters of messages from Vladimir Putin. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/10/17/fiona-hill-putin-war-00061894

Elon Musk is a Kremlin propagandist. Any questions?

under the pictures with the girl, it says she is a "foe" of Putin's. Is that wrong?

@BillMcGuire Good catch! As a professional proofreader/copy editor, allow me to say: This is what happens when newsrooms cut back on proofreaders. Anyhoo, I assume it's a typo?

Me, too, because I went back to the article body and saw what you saw.....so, she is a bad "gal" Putin pal. By osmosis, that makes Musk a Putin pal, too....plus, not sure you saw the other pic of Musk standing a few feet from Jared Kushner wearing dark black outfits, so not the exact same day.

@BillMcGuire Yeah, I did see that. And this: Musk tweeted a plan to give Putin Crimea and to also give him a shot at Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, which are home to the only river suppling Crimea with water. Musk tweeted this suggestion *before* Putin took Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. 🤔 https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/10/17/fiona-hill-putin-war-00061894

That should have alerted the NSA at a minimum very pissed off at Musk. I wonder what his life span looks like? Perhaps that is why he is so twitchy lately. Maybe from looking over his shoulder for scopes. He is proving to be America's top 10 enemy and should be treated as such. Fiona Hill is one very intelligent lady, and she knows what's what.

@junecasagrande @BillMcGuire Seems odd that this was published in Politico. But meanwhile, EM owning Starlink seems an exposure for Ukraine.

Mr. Tweet on Twitter

“@NorthmanTrader No, it is not. I have spoken to Putin only once and that was about 18 months ago. The subject matter was space.”

@BillMcGuire @junecasagrande It’s the same day - the finals in the Saudis box. The pic with Jared makes the army green T-shirt look darker in the Kushner pic because the 2 are somewhat shadowed.

Yeah, narcissists are putty in the hands of a KGB veteran. He was literally trained in how to exploit "pride, arrogance, egoism, ambition and vanity" to turn chumps into useful idiots and knowing assets. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/19/trump-first-moscow-trip-215842/

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.
