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

Amazingly incompetent! This is MAGA?
The US embassy in Australia was forced to clean up the damage within hours
by artappraiser on Mon, 05/25/2020 - 1:56pm
Well, to be fair for Trump they're forced to clean up within minutes, sometimes before the press conf is over. So Pompeo isn't amazingly incompetent in context of this administration, but any other point in history he would be.

yes but the cabinet used to be the cleanup people (i.e., the ones that leaked to Bob Woodward about "crazytown") and now what is left is incompetent cleanup people. Jeff Sessions out there arguing in public with Drumpf about the smart way to accomplish Drumpf goals and the dumb way is just another example of wha'happened to MAGA?

Here it was basically the same "do some knee-jerk activity that makes no sense and don't worry, someone else will clean it up" as the big boss.
