醉玲珑Bidens' Scheming: Why 'Laptop From Hell' Exposure Irks the Dems More Than It Does the GOP_我的网站
A | "What the revelations appear to show is that there was a close relationship between Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, and that there was likely high mutual awareness of one another’s business interests and, possibly, mutual support for some of these," said Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett, a professor emeritus at Bowling Green State University. "I don’t think the scandal has the power in itself of firing widespread outrage against Biden: there are just too many other things to be outraged about just now.",A review of Hunter Biden's personal calendar on the so-called "laptop from hell", which was abandoned by Hunter at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, in April 2019, shows that the younger Biden and his business associate Eric Schwerin frequently met with then-US VP Joe Biden between 2008 and 2016. Hunter held at least 30 business meetings with his father either in the White House or the latter's vice-presidential residence, the Naval Observatory. Schwerin was reportedly invited to 21 out of the 30 confabs.,The New York Post found that all of the meets occurred days or even hours after Hunter's negotiations with high-profile foreign clients, prompting the media outlet to suggest that the younger Biden apparently discussed his business dealing with his father. The Post even goes so far as to not rule out that Hunter passed messages and requests from his clients to the then-vice president.,'Laptop From Hell': Hunter Biden's Calendar Suggests President Joe Was Well Aware of Business Trips17 July, 16:44 GMT,The latest revelation apparently has earmarks of an influence-peddling scheme, according to Charles Ortel, a Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist. What's more, Hunter's dealings with foreign tycoons and politicians have already been in the crosshairs of the US Department of Justice (DoJ) for quite a while.,"In theory, at least one US attorney has been investigating Hunter Biden and likely others for years, possibly in conjunction with a grand jury," said Ortel. "If this investigation is serious and objective, it must examine how Joe Biden and his family amassed so much wealth during decades of 'public service'.",However, "the practice of trading influence for off-market financial benefits is not confined to the Bidens or to Democrats alone," the analyst pointed out, asking rhetorically: "How did the Obamas, Bushes and Clintons become so wealthy?",At the same time, an in-depth investigation into the Bidens' shady conduct could also shed light on the unfolding Ukraine crisis, given Joe's role as Barack Obama's Ukraine appointee shortly after the 2014 coup d’état in Kiev, and Hunter's service at the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma at the time, according to Boyd-Barrett.,"It would be important, in a more rational polity – which of course this isn’t – to look very critically indeed at Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s peculiar history with the 2014 coup and, subsequently, with Ukrainian energy interests, even marveling at the possibility that a private history with Ukrainian elites may have contributed to a fatally rash misreading of the events of February 24 and the lead-up to it," the professor said.,Talented Mr Biden: Hunter's Art Sales Reek of Pay-to-Play But DoJ Lost Sense of Smell, Analysts Say29 October 2021, 13:00 GMT,Laptop From Hell Exposure Comes Ahead of Midterms,The timing of the latest revelation comes as partisan strife for the control over the US Congress intensifies. The specter of the GOP jumping at the opportunity to use Joe's apparent involvement in his son's business activities to crush the Dems during the midterms and impeach the US president with a congressional majority has been raised.,While Republicans "may well, in effect, take control by next year," it is unclear whether they will double down on investigating the Bidens, especially given the mainstream press' reluctance to cover the issue, according to Boyd-Barrett.,The professor suggested that the GOP "could weigh the advantages earned them by the Durham investigation" instead. Special Counsel John Durham's indictments of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann and ex-MI6 agent Chris Steele's source Igor Danchenko are very important for the Republicans as they help debunk the Russiagate hoax and mainstream media lies about Donald Trump's "collusion" with Russia, according to the academic.,Durham's Probe: Hillary Clinton Sowed Dragon's Teeth by Peddling Trump-Russia Hoax, Analyst Says5 October 2021, 16:30 GMT,Could Joe Biden be Impeached?,House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik previously signaled that she would subpoena Hunter Biden if Republicans win back control of Congress in the 2022 midterm elections. She noted that the Post's latest exposure appears to be yet more evidence of corruption.,While potential House investigations into the Bidens may indeed take place and even turn into impeachment hearings if the lower chamber is controlled by the GOP, the fate of this effort seems unclear, according to Ortel.,"Conservative, non-RINO [Republicans in Name Only] candidates now appear poised to win a wave election in 2022," he projected. "Things may change, but no current projections show Republicans reaching 67 out of 100 seats in the US Senate which is the number of votes required to convict an impeached person.",What's more possible, according to the analyst, is that the Democrats, already damaged by Joe Biden's incompetent domestic and foreign policies, will turn on him and force him out.,"Influence-shapers are far to the left of Joe Biden and mounting evidence shows they are done protecting Biden and rightly so," Ortel said.,If Joe Biden steps down, it's unlikely that the Dems will agree to see Kamala Harris replacing him, the analyst continued.,"Behind the scenes, major Democrat donors are trying to decide whether they can convince Michelle Obama to jump in and also to convince the Clintons to remain home with all their political and personal baggage packed up for good," he said, projecting that a new centrist Democrat presidential candidate could potentially emerge in order to fill Joe's shoes.。 一朝天子一朝臣，只重衣冠不重人。5月4号，普京宣誓就职俄罗斯第8届总统后，便迅速签署法令，解散了俄罗斯现任政府。此举是为组建全新领导班子，做前期准备活动。虽然现在俄罗斯的最高领导人没变，也就是“天子”没变，但政府、军队中的一些重要领导人，将在不久之后纷纷卸任。外界盛传，在最关键的国防部长人选问题上，普京也会有重大人事调整。到时候，绍伊古将不再担任俄罗斯国防部长，接替他未来工作的，将是阿列克谢-久明。
B | ▲绍伊古、阿列克谢-久明、格拉西莫夫，图片来源：网络 其实对阿列克谢-久明来说，这次的提拔只是一次副转正。早从2015年开始，他就已经是俄罗斯陆军副司令和陆军总参谋长了。2015年底他又被光速提拔为了中将，然后升任了俄罗斯国防部副部长。阿列克谢-久明出生于1972年，比普京小了20岁。久明出生于军官家庭，1994年毕业于俄罗斯沃罗涅日的军事学院，随后加入了联邦安全局，其后见到了普京，并且给普京担任贴身保镖。久明和普京之间有许多轶事，打冰球什么的就不值一提了，最有意思的，是久明在接受采访时曾说过，有一次在野外和普京总统碰到了一只熊，然后自己使出浑身解数将其击退。按理来说，久明肯定不敢对着媒体胡乱撒谎，但因为这件事过于夸张离谱，外界也纷纷表示怀疑。
C | 甚至调侃普京骑的那头熊，就是久明收编的（实际上普京骑熊图是P的，根本没有这种事）。 2014年久明担任过格鲁乌副局长，协助普京在海外展开过一些特种行动。2014年2月初，乌克兰国内爆发乱象，尤其是基辅的广场上，发生了一系列非常严重的大规模游行抗议活动。基辅的抗议者们，甚至和乌克兰“金雕”特种部队爆发了流血冲突，还导致了十多名乌克兰警察身亡。眼见形势越来越错乱，2014年2月21号，亚努科维奇和议会反对派签署了一项协议，本以为能稳住局势。但到当天下午时，由于警察撤离了基辅市中心，抗议者渐渐主导了城市的控制权。为了保障亚努科维奇的个人安全，据报道，俄罗斯动用了特种部队将亚努科维奇撤离了基辅。这一行动背后的策划者，很可能就是包括久明在内的一系列俄罗斯特种部队高层。 在随后俄罗斯吞并克里米亚的军事行动中，作为特种部队领导人之一的久明必然也参与了其中，拿下了这份功劳。
D | 于是乎仅仅一年后，他就被提拔到了军界，成为了俄罗斯国防部的副部长。
E | 久明毫不隐晦自己和俄罗斯国家近卫军总司令佐托洛夫之间的亲密关系，甚至尊称后者为自己的导师。佐托洛夫是普京核心圈子里的重要人物，被车臣的领导人小卡德罗夫称赞为“真男人”。别看佐托洛夫长得有些慈眉善目，但发起狠来也是六亲不认。在担任近卫军总司令期间，有人质疑俄罗斯联邦禁卫军内部相当腐败，这无疑是往佐托洛夫的脸上扇。于是，挑衅者喜提了一份来自佐托洛夫的“约架邀请”，佐托洛夫称会把对方“撕成碎片”。尽管官位不小，但佐托洛夫仍然能保持斯拉夫人“不服就干”而且亲自下场的作风，考虑到他已经是1954年出生的人了，那还真是老当益壮、不服都不行。 总而言之，久明出身根正苗红，有军方背景，同时也是普京非常信赖的红人，由他来担任国防部长，那确实没什么说的。不过，俄罗斯的国防部副部长人也不少，1963年出生的叶夫库罗夫还是一名职业军人，还参加过车臣战争。2009年，叶夫库罗夫的车队曾在印古什地区纳兹兰的汽车炸弹中遭遇袭击，他本人受重伤，论资历和经验那也是相当可以。
F | 另外，出生于1956年的俄罗斯国防部第一副部长查利科夫，早在2012年开始，就担任了俄罗斯国防部的副部长，按理来说才是升迁的第一候选人。 结果久明后来居上，看来真是后浪推了前浪。据称久明突然就赶超了两位前辈，大概率是和处理“瓦格纳”集团的叛变事件非常之稳妥、合适有关系。2021年，久明在图拉州州长的选举中，以83.6%的高票得选。2023年，“瓦格纳”集团叛变时，恰好经过了久明治下的图拉，据称部分“瓦格纳”雇佣兵被他的手下缴了械，事后就有传闻称，因为这次立功表现，绍伊古的国防部长怕是要久明来坐了。 久明还非常年轻，容易接受新鲜事物，未来能带领俄军的新一轮建设和改革。通过俄乌战争，俄罗斯以实践证明俄军仍然很强大。虽然俄军花费的时间长了一些，但在几年之内，就把一个中等规模，而且有着数十年军事和工业底子的国家给彻底摧毁掉，甚至连带着，把很多北约和欧洲国家的武器库存也给清理干净了，俄军的实力到底行还是不行简直不需要多说一句。但俄军也在这场战争中暴露出了很多问题，怎么化腐朽为神奇，那就要看久明的具体发挥了。
