VALENTIN VASILESCU—The foreign invasion of Venezuela is only possible by Brazil, Colombia and Guyana, three neighboring states of Venezuela. Theoretically, there are at least three axes of invasion. Colombia has Kfir, A-37 and A-29 Tucano aircraft that have no chance against the Buk-M2, S-125, S-300 and Venezuelan F-16 and Su-30 aircraft. The same is true for Brazilian planes in the face of medium and long-range air defense and against Venezuelan aviation.

How the FBI Hacked Twitter: The answer begins with Russiagate
47 minutes readLEE SMITH—The FBI’s penetration of Twitter constituted just one part of a much larger intelligence operation—one in which the bureau offshored the machinery it used to interfere in the 2016 election and embedded it within the private sector. The resulting behemoth, still being built today, is a public-private consortium made up of U.S. intelligence agencies, Big Tech companies, civil society institutions, and major media organizations that has become the world’s most powerful spy service—one that was powerful enough to disappear the former president of the United States from public life…
