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

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.
It’s all about how for 75 years you have destroyed the future of generations of Palestinians, including my family.

It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"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

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

To paraphrase Stalin ("It doesn't matter who votes what matters is who counts the votes")
It doesn't matter who dies, what matters is who counts the bodies.
When the first round of this subsides, I guarantee that Trump will be tap dancing over the death toll just as he made sure not to test th living.

Gees when he talks like that I can't even think that much about what he is saying because it is like being tortured by your Joey Buttafucco-type uncle trying to break in a serious conversation with the college-educated group at a family wedding. Here he's doing the "on the one hand, on the other hand" thing that's part of that whole shtick. Drives me nuts , you were having an interesting convo and he breaks in and you gotta be polite instead of saying: puhleez go away. It reminds me of my greatest gen. dad saying in like 2000: you know, they say this Madonna girl is really popular because he just read about her in Time Magazine for the first time and wants to display his new knowledge.

"On the one hand I can see sending all the Jews to Treblinka, on the other hand I can see leaving them where they are - I'd rather see them in Poland, but I left the guys with the authority to make that decision. There are trains ready if they choose." - lost conversation with Adolf Eichmann, The Banality of Executive Decision Making
