I remember reading about the frequency waves coming off that facility and the surrounding area being off the charts. It's a place in America that Americans aren't allowed to go. In fact, only Russian diplomats that the US can't prosecute and people they like are allowed there.
Maybe it's from a million HAM radio's but regardless, it's a facility used by diplomats (spyszz) on US soil that is for all intents and purposes part of Russia. It was taken during a moment of tension and suspicion and returned by a new administration without getting ANYTHING in return. That's shitty diplomacy. From pretty much absolutely every single person in the former administration Trump acted unilaterally with regards to Russia, for better or for worse and is the seemingly sole exception to the "America First" idiocy. That's not good deal making, either giving up things for nothing in return (as he did with north korea) or backhandedly fucking over americans (as he did with china and tearing up NAFTA) or making stupid symbolic gestures that mean nothing and just fuck up alliances that were built, like he did with Iran and NATO and alienating Europe. Trump was objectively shitty at foreign policy and you have to assume that whoever is controlling the puppet known as Die'den has to have a slightly better understanding of political science
Just made everything weaker because he's shitty at making deals. Also, vantity fair had a good story on Trump and Epstein the other day.
