The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

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 of minor concern to most, but I've been a fan of the theatre that is pro wrestling since I was a kid and (shocker) Flair was always my favorite. The industry, such as it is, has grown in money but not beyond its carnival roots. Talented men and women are overworked, often with injuries, and they develop drug addictions as well as other maladies.
We always know when a big star dies. And, we know about Reid Flair because of who his father is. But a lot of these guys, wrestling in Japan, Mexico and at small independent shows around the US dream of working for the WWE and that means working hurt, working tired, never taking a break and, often using physique enhancing drugs. That's the standard set by the McMahons. The connection to politics? Linda McMahon twice almost became a senator.

Hey Michael, I actually posted it in hopes that you would have something to say about it. Ric Flair is my favorite too and the drug problem is explosive in WWE. Steroids are an obvious problem and I can imagine that a climate of performance enhancing drug use could lead someone like Reid Flair to go toward illegal drugs.
With politics - Kane was actually a big time Ron Paul/Campaign for Liberty supporter, by the way, and Mick Foley is an Obama supporter.

Ignacio in Nacho Libre is my favorite wrestler by far. The movie is loosely[?] based on a real life Catholic priest who had a long career in Mexico wrestling to support an orphanage. Another character, Sister Incarnacion played by Ana de la Reguera, could give the Pope a new religion in a heartbeat.
