The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent
— Hanna Notte (@HannaNotte) February 29, 2024
Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Did you actually read her article? Doubtful.You probably wrote your comment as you were reading the lede.

This is a really fascinating read. I was struck particularly by this:
This was meant to manipulate, clearly. We have to stay on top of it.

I expressed skepticism about this along the same lines on Friday here. It's a no brainer to be skeptical, it's so obvious.
That said....
I went to Newseum to look at the layout of the New YorkTimes paper edition today, because I had seen someone mention that it had an incredible headline for the once "Grey Lady" as regards our President. Here it is, and seemed a little more toned down than I was promised:
BUT THEN, the story at the upper left caught my eye, there titled
Icy Maneuvering by U.S. and China in Tech War which on the net is titled For the U.S. and China, a Technology Cold War That’s Freezing Over
And after reading that, seemed to me that there might be a lot of cases like the Iranian one that the FBI is working on. And that all kinds of investigations like that have probably been going on since at least the Obama administration and mostly have nothing to do with Trump. That he's even clueless about what everyone has been doing under him (Yez--deep state, but only because the commander-in-chief is so shallow!) And that Sessions or his toadies picked a case from the huge number being investigated that yes, they did that for anti-Iranian political purposes. But that doesn't necessarily mean it shouldn't be done.
