🥔Lukashenko asked the Russian ambassador not to drag Belarus into the war.Minsk does not intend to join the military actions against Ukraine. Alexander Lukashenko stated this at a meeting with Russian Ambassador Boris Gryzlov and Moscow Region Governor Andrei Vorobyov.”There is no need to get drawn into a war. And there is no need to push us here to the point where Boris Vyacheslavovich is orchestrating a process to drag us into a war,” Lukashenko said, addressing Gryzlov. Lukashenko added that he had repeatedly discussed this issue with Vladimir Putin and repeated to him that Belarusians do not want to fight Ukrainians. He softened his refusal by saying he was willing to assist Russian regions, including the Moscow region, in the economic and security spheres.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has reportedly held a personal phone call with Vladimir Putin and delivered a stern ultimatum.According to sources close to the Chinese leadership, Beijing has shifted from a policy of neutrality to direct pressure on Moscow. China, which has for years remained Russia’s principal economic and political partner, is now reportedly demanding immediate action.The ultimatum is clear: Russia must begin a genuine withdrawal of its troops from Ukrainian territory as soon as possible.If confirmed, this would mark an unprecedented move by Beijing and could significantly reshape the geopolitical landscape.The Kremlin has not yet issued an official response.

Former FBI Agents’ Political Influence  share.gemini.google/xozV7X7G…

[1, 2]Key points regarding the influence and political power of these groups include:Perceptions of Politicization: Public opinion regarding the FBI and its personnel has become increasingly polarized along partisan lines, with a significant percentage of voters believing the agency has been “politically weaponized”. This perception often stems from high-profile investigations related to presidential candidates, such as the Hillary Clinton email inquiry in 2016 or investigations into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.Actions by Active and Former Agents:High-Profile Incidents: Specific incidents involving active agents, such as the text messages exchanged between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that disparaged Donald Trump, fueled claims of political bias and undue influence..Public Statements and Advocacy:Organizations like the FBI Agents Association (FBIAA), which is nonpartisan but represents the interests of active agents, engage in legislative advocacy and have issued public letters raising concerns over matters they perceive as political interference in the bureau’s operations, such as the summary termination of agents without due processPost-Government Activity: Former agents, once out of government service, are not bound by the same political activity restrictions (like the Hatch Act for most active agents) and may engage in political commentary or seek public office, contributing to the broader perception of the “political power” of the FBI community as a whole.Formal Political Power Limitations: Active FBI agents are generally subject to the Hatch Act and Department of Justice policies that severely restrict their partisan political activities and the use of their official authority to interfere with or affect election results. The FBI officially emphasizes its commitment to protecting election integrity and conducting its mission without political bias.Historical Context: The FBI has a long history of being involved in political controversies, dating back to the J. Edgar Hoover era, highlighting the ongoing tension between ensuring law enforcement independence and preventing political manipulation. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]Ultimately, while formal organizations of former FBI agents do not hold direct, official power over the electoral process, their public statements, advocacy, and the actions of high-profile former agents contribute to a narrative and perception of influence that is often debated in the context of presidential elections.

Their influence is generally limited to professional advocacy and the individual actions and public statements of their membersHowever, the question of undue political influence in elections related to the FBI is a subject of significant ongoing public and political debate, primarily focusing on:Actions by current and former high-level FBI officials (acting as individuals, not on behalf of a formal “agents organization”) whose public statements or actions during an election cycle have been criticized as politically motivated or as having an impact on voters’ perceptions. A prominent example is the controversy surrounding former Director James Comey’s public statements regarding the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails in 2016.Allegations of institutional bias and “weaponization” of federal law enforcement, which have been raised by some political figures and commentators, often citing internal communications (like text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page) or whistleblower testimony as evidence of bias against certain candidates.Advocacy and lobbying efforts by professional associations, which typically focus on issues such as pay, benefits, and working conditions for agents, rather than partisan endorsements in presidential elections. The FBI Agents Association engages in legislative advocacy, but its primary role is professional, not overtly political in the context of partisan elections.The Hatch Act, which generally prohibits federal employees, including FBI agents, from using their official authority or influence to affect the result of an election or engage in political activity while on duty.In summary, while the actions of specific individuals with ties to the FBI have been highly scrutinized for their potential impact on elections, there is no evidence that the formal organizations of former FBI agents, as collective entities, exert undue political power in presidential elections beyond typical professional advocacy and public commentary.Pic.: google.com/search?q=The+undu…—  https://x.com/mikenov/status/1998405658689806639

🇺🇦🇧🇾Lukashenko a cédé.Face au coup de pression de Zelensky, le dictateur biélorusse a immédiatement renoncé à risquer une confrontation avec l’Ukraine.C’est également un revers pour la Russie qui voit que son meilleur allié (et surtout vassal) préfère la prudence au soutien aveugle envers Moscou. C’est aussi cela une influence et une puissance qui s’effritent, la Russie de 2026 est considérablement affaiblie après 4 ans de guerre par rapport à la Russie de 2022.En 2022, la Biélorussie n’aurait probablement pas cédé face aux menaces de l’Ukraine mais les rapports de force ont totalement changé depuis. L’Ukraine est depuis devenue une des meilleures armées d’Europe, alors que Minsk compte toujours sur des soldats et généraux inexpérimentés et équipés de vieux matériel soviétique.C’est une des raisons pour lesquelles Lukashenko s’est toujours gardé de trop s’ingérer dans ce conflit. La Russie peut tenir car elle a une économie résiliente, des exportations massives et une démographie suffisante. La Biélorussie n’a pas tout cela et face à l’excellence ukrainienne en matière de guerre, elle ne ferait pas le poids bien longtemps.Lukashenko s’est couché sur ce coup-là et Poutine perd un peu plus le contrôle.Little Think Tank (@L_ThinkTank)[ 🇺🇦 UKRAINE | 🇧🇾 BIÉLORUSSIE ]🔸Volodymyr Zelensky affirme que les équipements qui auraient été utilisés depuis le territoire biélorusse pour ajuster des frappes contre l’Ukraine ont cessé de fonctionner.Le président ukrainien a déclaré ne pas savoir à ce stade s’ils ont été démantelés, tout en précisant suivre quotidiennement la situation via des rapports des services concernés. Selon lui, « les équipements ne fonctionnent plus aujourd’hui ».—  https://x.com/L_ThinkTank/status/2070156812117025016
