The covert war for American minds.
Russia, China, and Iran seek to spread disinformation and chaos in the United States.
How can Washington prevent malicious actors from influencing American voters?

Keep US troops in NATO’s KFOR
Pulling them out would save almost nothing while handing Moscow a cheap strategic win.

President Trump @POTUS should stay away from Vucic’s EXPO 2027! I know money doesn’t stink in DC but be careful… It’s likely a trap as people in Serbia are already investigating money relations related to EXPO 2027. I can only imagine what we will see…

@ivanastradner and I make clear that the ONLY winner if the US pulls out of KFOR is Vladimir Putin. To Russia, the Balkans are just kindling looking for a match, and a US-backed KFOR is the only fire extinguisher that works

Have 🇺🇸 negotiators ever consulted serious CIA experts to understand the Kremlin’s negotiation tactics and culture?
1. First and foremost: NEVER smile unnecessarily, especially fake smiles. They signal insincerity.
2. Never display submissive or impressionable behavior.
3. You represent the USA, THE SUPERPOWER. Even your handshake and body language should communicate strength.
4. Never raise your voice and smile loudly . Putin Speaks calmly. The quieter you speak, the more authority you project.
6. In American negotiations, the traditional approach is often win-win and splitting the difference. Putin’s approach is different: if he has to lose, he wants the other side to lose even more.
7. Never allow artificial deadlines to dictate your decisions. Strategic patience is power. Don’t rush into a bad deal because Russia creates urgency.
8. Never reveal how badly you need an agreement. The moment the Kremlin believes you need a deal more than they do, your urgency becomes their leverage.

This is how the Balkans intel services were using honeypots against the US government. @Mpolymer discussed his experience in Croatia. My other friend who served in ex Yugoslavia also told me similar stories during the 90’s.
Former CIA officer @Mpolymer tells @michaeldweiss about the time foreign intelligence operatives tried to lure him into a honeypot trap.

Thank you, @NATO_C2COE for the invitation to discuss Russia’s command and control in the information space and its efforts to disrupt @NATO’s C2 decision-making. Information superiority will be decisive in modern warfare and I discussed how to put Moscow on the defensive.

If you’re following the Balkans, Zvonko Veselinovic ( he is under 🇺🇸 sanctions ) is now in Turkey.
Zvonko Veselinović, biznismen sa severa Kosova koji je pod američkim sankcijama zbog optužbi za organizovani kriminal, odleteo je za Tursku preko Bosne i Hercegovine, potvrđeno je za RSE iz bezbednosnih izvora u BiH.

Very soon Russia’s energy blackmail will continue. Vucic was lying for years that he wanted to divorce serbia from Putin’s gas. He was just buying time by offering fake energy deals to Washington.
💬 FM #Lavrov to Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Srbijagas Aleksandar #Vulin:
Russia remains fully committed to all its agreements, past & present.
🤝 We hope the new government will ensure continuity in #RussiaSerbia strategic partnership.

As they say in Russia, appetite grows while eating.
Russia’s top negotiator Medinsky says in Abu Dhabi that Moscow’s demands extend to all of Europe, far beyond Ukraine.
“The security system in Europe works very badly. The entire organism is sick. Ukraine is just an abscess m must be cured as a whole, a band-aid will not be enough.”
Dr Putin to the rescue of poor sick Europe…
The more Trump seeks to mollify Putin, the more megalomaniac the Russian demands become.

On this day in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell.
For 28 years, the Wall stood as a symbol of the division between East and West. During his visit to Berlin, President Ronald Reagan chipped away at a piece of the Wall himself. Years later, he and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev stood gan Library in front of an actual section of it. A striking image of how much had changed.
That same piece of the Berlin Wall remains on display outside the Reagan Library today. We invite you to come see this piece of history for yourself.

As we remember the fall of the Berlin Wall today, let’s not forget Reagan’s unforgettable words:
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
A speech that captured the courage to stand against tyranny. History worth remembering. 🇺🇸

🍷 Vučić was singing and partying — then suddenly looked miserable in the middle of a party in Belgrade
On the evening of November 6, former Serbian president visited the Savanova restaurant, also known as “Ćaci bar.” The informal gathering was organized by Dragan J. Vučićević, tabloid Informer. Vučić himself shared a video from the event on Instagram.
At first, he was singing and having fun with Informer staff and supporters. Then he suddenly went quiet and stared into space with the expression of someone who had just remembered the election results.

🇷🇸 Mass arrests in Serbia. Security officers who tortured protesters are now being arrested themselves
Nine serving officers and one former officer from an elite police unit have been taken into custody. They are suspected of torturing, beating and intimidating participants in s.
In August 2025, detained protesters were taken to a garage in a government complex in central Belgrade — directly beneath the offices of the prime minister and government ministers. People were beaten and forced to watch others being assaulted. One female student said a special forces commander had threatened to rape her.
And that's not all. Serbia has also opened criminal cases against Justice Minister Nenad Vujić and the head of the Security Agency, Vladimir Orlić. They are suspected of voting irregularities during elections.
Protests in Serbia continued for almost two years and ultimately led to a humiliating defeat for Vučić. Now those around him will have to answer for torture and election fraud. But this time, under the law.
