They've said its Russia related.
Placing of tactical nukes in occupied Ukraine, Belarus and border with Finland?

Whatever it is, another $100B or so to Ukraine should solve it.

Fox News Digital obtained the notice sent to congressional members Wednesday, which pointed to "an urgent matter with regard to a destabilizing foreign military capability that should be known by all Congressional Policy Makers."

Obviously it will end up being some combination of these terms:

"Trump" and:

"Jan 6" or
"Russia, Russia, Russia" or
"Stolen Documents" or
"Steele Dossier" or
"Threat to Democracy" or
"Deplorables" or

some other thing they can try to attribute to Trump.

Yeah, I'm betting this is about Russia and a ploy to overstate the ability of some new weapon of theirs in order to get votes for more Ukraine funding.

It's exactly this. They need to justify their "most important vote" ***** Nothing has changed with regard to Russia's plans or capabilities

Unusual request. I don't think Turner would be the type to grandstand on something like this which means it's probably serious.

Russia Russia Russia

They ask for more money for Ukraine and NATO.

That's my guess.

Or a concern the ME goes hot very soon over Rafah?

Quote:

Egypt and Saudi Arabia have added their voices to a rising tide of criticism of a planned Israeli ground offensive in the Gaza Strip's southern city of Rafah, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that such a campaign was forthcoming.

Netanyahu announced Friday that he had ordered the Israeli military to present the cabinet with a plan to both evacuate the city's civilian population augmented by over one million refugees from the strip's north and center and destroy Hamas's remaining battalions in the area.

According to Netanyahu, an assault on Rafah is critical to completing Israel's stated war aim of dismantling Hamas. Earlier in the week, the premier rejected Hamas's "delusional" terms for a hostage deal, which included a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Strip and the release of hundreds of terrorists serving life sentences.


"There is limited space and great risk in putting Rafah under further military escalation due to the growing number of Palestinians there," Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said on Saturday during a press briefing, warning that an escalation would have "dire consequences."

The Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Egyptian officials warned the decades-long peace treaty between Egypt and Israel could be suspended if Israel Defense Forces' troops enter Rafah, or if any of Rafah's refugees are forced southward into the Sinai Peninsula.

No, we've been doing that since 2008.

In 1998, even Democrats thought he was too stupid and ethically compromised to run.

Seems odd that they would want something like this declassified if it's a national security threat


Itll be muh huwhyte supremacy. They declass so they can let media amplify any "hate crimes" that the feds kick up.


Really? That's where you go?


Golly gee…why on earth would anyone go there??

Putin did mention fully operational hypersonic missiles in his interview with Tucker the other night.

You are 100% right. This is likely going to be part of another push to get the Ukraine funding passed. As hard as some of these lawmakers are working on this while minimizing the real threat on our Southern border, there is something really rotten going on. The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

It seems silly. Especially at a time when a State Rep. Jennifer Decker (white) claimed at an NAACP meeting that her father (white) was a slave working on a farm (he was born in 1930s). People making claims about white supremacy and white slavery in the 20th century should be ridiculed.

Guess we'll see. My biggest concern is that it is truly a viable threat and it turns into a domestic political volley. In a true threat scenario (external) our first response should be to the threat, not to win political points. So I hope the Dems aren't doing this and if they're not and its a serious, I hope the R's focus on the threat and not the election.

One of these three:

A. Some sort of threat regarding a rogue nuke planed to go off in Israel;

B. Revelation that Russia has superior quantum technology rendering most security measures useless;

C. Project Blue Beam (extra terrestrial threat) set to be exposed by Russia.

orth Korea has had both for a while now.

How many ICBMs they have and how accurate/reliable is another question.
Generally, ICBMs with nuclear warheads impacting anywhere remotely close is close enough.

If this is a ploy to get Ukraine funding, why then would Johnson be ringing the bell on this? Doesn't make sense.

He won't be rushed on Ukraine funding. We have other domestic priorities. Wants to speak directly with Biden.

Essentially the exact opposite of using whatever this threat is for Ukraine funding.
