Finnish critic of the far right & Russian influence operations had her appearance at a book fair again frequented by thugs. An un-cooperative thug had to be forcefully removed from the audience.

This dynamic has been going on since 2014, when Russia first invaded ukrainian Crimea.

You in the US may not be familiar with this kind of tactics, but Russia is the master of it. It always looks as if it’s some kind of homegrown resistance.

#NASA Administrator Bill #Nelson on Friday called for an investigation into a Wall Street Journal report that #SpaceX founder and Donald #Trump ally Elon #Musk and Russian President Vladimir #Putin have been in “regular contact” since late 2022.

The report raises national security concerns as SpaceX’s relationships with NASA and the #US military may have granted Musk access to sensitive government information and US intelligence.

@davetroy is being vindicated today. He has been publishing on Musk's relationship with Putin and Russia since at least 2021. This is a non pay wall link to the WSJ article about Musk's relationship with Putin. Remember, Musk has a lot of control over our space program and satellite communications.

🇷🇺 #Russia’s Central Bank raised its key interest rate from 19% to a historic 21% on Friday, taking it even higher than the emergency rate initially introduced after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine as officials scrambled to shield the economy from Western sanctions.
