As a Cuban, I agree with your assessment of Gaetz comments about Cuba, he obviously wasn't thinking about the repercussions. What I haven't seen mentioned in our media but Cubans on the island have noticed and are discussing amongst themselves, is that Russians have been purchasing land in the province of Oriente (where the Castros stole my family's land). I might write about it in the near future, after I get more info from my contacts.
Durham deserves confrontation, but the issue on which Gaetz confronted Durham (Mifsud) was as totally ignorant as Gaetz' Cuba proposal, tho less dangerous.
I agree that Gaetz's confrontation lacked analytic focus, which I believe the concept of "predication" provides. Trying to get that across in 5 minutes requires concentration and preparation.
Now he should know how Putin felt as the US Neocon idiots pushed nato to its doorstep. How about some kind of actual authorization to stop the actual assault on our southern border
Months ago, as I tried to explain to my mother why Russia would not like to have NATO in Ukraine... how would we feel if Russia was arming Mexico to the teeth? Would we let that stand?
Just kinda reinforces my sense that NONE of the people in DC can be trusted any farther than you can throw them. As you said, disappointing after the Durham outburst.
The very end, without attribution, appears to sum things up. Beyond the obvious confusion there doesn't seem to be any verifiable evidence of actual fighting.
It seems largely level headed analysis, although I doubt Wagner ever reaches Moscow. Mercouris is right, however, that this comes very much at the wrong time for Russia.

Another reminder that no solutions to our problems will come from DC.
Back in the days of the Cold War, the usual public announcement was something polite, like:
"So sorry, it looks like your team met with some sort of accident, we offer any and all help if you need it"
This is the complete opposite, more like a street gang banger trying to start a turf war over a Ho who started banging another banger.
Won't the Chinese be terrified at the sight of our troops parachuting into action flying the LGBTQ colors....
Wowie-zowie - what is it with playing military man from a seat in Congress?

That was my first take, given the wording.

Taiwan specifically: https://thediplomat.com/2012/05/congress-bioterrorism-and-asia/
Thanks for the background. It's easy to forget about the labs with all the more conventional military stuff in the foreground.
I'm sure it's all politics, I just don't know what is driving Gaetz's actions.
My guess is he went soft on Durham due to uniparty pressure, even if it was more than most other people on the committee.
And the Military Authorization I am sure makes the local older Cuban American happy. As well as Neocons.

Gaetz wants to run for Senate so he's appealing to the Cuban "Americans"

Showboaters gotta showboat.
More importantly, BRTA has labs in Taiwan, too.
BTRA, oops.
Wait ... British Truck Racing Association?

I think you said the secret word.
I was just about to say the same thing! This RT link appears to be frequently updated:

I have a feeling this type of stuff is very wide spread.
As well as all the pressure from donors. Blackrock has it's tentacles in so many companies.
And Big Pharma is a big donor and advertiser.
