Lambert and I, and many readers, agree that Ukraine has prompted the worst informational environment ever. We hope readers will collaborate in mitigating the fog of war — both real fog and stage fog — in comments. None of us need more cheerleading and link-free repetition of memes; there are platforms for that. Low-value, link-free pom pom-wavers will be summarily whacked.

And for those who are new here, this is not a mere polite request. We have written site Policies and those who comment have accepted those terms. To prevent having to resort to the nuclear option of shutting comments down entirely until more sanity prevails, as we did during the 2015 Greek bailout negotiations and shortly after the 2020 election, we are going to be ruthless about moderating and blacklisting offenders.

–Yves

P.S. Also, before further stressing our already stressed moderators, read our site policies:

Please do not write us to ask why a comment has not appeared. We do not have the bandwidth to investigate and reply. Using the comments section to complain about moderation decisions/tripwires earns that commenter troll points. Please don’t do it. Those comments will also be removed if we encounter them.

Russia Advances Deeper Into Bakhmut; China’s Xi Goes to Saudi Arabia, Discussing Alternatives to USD Alexander Mercouris, YouTube. See at 25:50. Mercouris cites a report which not only states that shelling will not harm the reactor, and the reactor can be shut down if the cooling systems are damaged, but more important, that shelling will not cause dirty bomb type contamination even if it hit the spent fuel storage areas. I assume in practice that means employees and Russian soldiers guarding the facilities would be at risk, not the general public.

Trump Raid [the Financial Times called it a raid in a subhead with no quotes, so we can too]

FBI Recovered 11 Sets of Classified Documents in Trump Search Wall Street Journal

Trump search warrant: FBI took top secret documents from Mar-a-Lago BBC. Resilc:

In November 1980 I was a very junior foreign service officer in Jakarta. my first “duty week”, handling after hours and weekends at the AMNEB, covered the election. before going to bed I heard Reagan won on the BBC. Middle of the night I get a call from the embassy, we are sending a car…top secret immediate cable. action/action, a car will pick you up…….cable said Reagan wins basically…….top secret is a joke most of the time imo…

Gestapo the Steal James Howard Kunstler. Looks like we’re going to have a lot of speculation and hyperventilation and not much new information.

Tucker Carlson Tonight 8/12/22 FULL Fox. Tulsi Gabbard guest hosted! No more Team Dem for her! Is her play to be The Donald’s veep? The problem with the commentary is that the Trump supporters miss the fact that Trump was not supposed to take any presidential records. But the flip side is not a crime since the Presidential Records Act lacks an enforcement mechanism, which includes criminal penalties. Admittedly, pretty much every president in the last few decades has taken records, and it seems as if partly by design, partly by accident. The normal process is the National Archives say they think stuff is missing and sometimes there is a wrangle. But the contention here is that Trump’s conduct was outside the pale, of the “differences in degree is a difference in kind.” So this is why the classified document angle becomes important, since merely foot-dragging on returning records isn’t a crime, so non-compliance there can’t be obstruction of justice.

Clarifying the System and Authorities to Classify Information–Trump Followed the Law Larry Johnson. Making some assumptions…but worth keeping the issues he raises in mind.

Rudy Giuliani Promises Revenge Raid of Biden’s House If Trump Wins in 2024 Vice. Somebody needs to put Giuliani in a Hannibal Lecter mask. He seemed to be Doing Something in his first term as NYC mayor, but most of that was due to hiring William Bratton as police chief. All downhill after that.
