Kasparov aide: You can get most Trump tweets a day in advance browsing Kremlin-friendly Russian web

Interesting comments from Mig Greengard, Kasparov's aide, with a comment from Kasparov:

It's handy that you can get most of Trump's tweets a day in advance by browsing the Kremlin-friendly Russian web. True during campaign, too.


It's clear he has no idea about any of these things, & he's getting his talking points from somewhere. Nearly always match the Kremlin line.


I spend way too much time on Russian news for work, and it's creepy how the Kremlin-coordinated talking points are Trump tweets in 24 hrs.


Read (don't really) Russia Today & Sputnik for a few days and time their talking points re hacking, NATO, CIA, Hillary, Obama with Trump's.


I don't mean actual intel, but the spin in reply to it. The denials & obfuscation the Kremlin specializes in, regurgitated in 140 by Trump.



Garry Kasparov's comment on the first tweet there:

Yes, if you read the Russian propaganda you can predict what Trump will tweet next with uncanny accuracy.

... but curiously also had the capabilities to act as a super-secure, direct connection to it's sister server in the Russian Bank, capable of hosting a direct connection, digital telephone line, which has the capability to bypass the traditional ITP Internet communiation protocol. A Russian Bank, incidental that is known to be Putin controlled.
