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

Extensive Interview with ‘Russian Roulette’ Coauthor Isikoff Reveals Big Problems With ‘Collusion’ Theory
by John Zieger @ mediaite.com, Dec 16th, 2018

Just noticed this - no, it doesn't reveal big problems with the "collusion theory" - it just reveals problems with Isikoff. There's Russia-Trump collusion going back 5 years at least involving 2 different hotel deals and Trump even planning on giving Putin a $50 million love nest in one, along with direct quid pro quo trades for hacking of his opponent & social media support for changes in US sanctions on Russia, resulting in his illegal election.
First, Marcy Wheeler has long suggested the Steele Dossier was as much *disinformation* to throw off anyone looking, and even if not, a few missing overhyped items like the pee-pee tape don't sink the rest of the raw intelligence. (we *do* know that 3 hookers came up to Trump's room & Trump's bodyguard went off to bed though "presumes" nothing happened). As for Cohen, he lied about so many things and has admitted so many things, it's really unimportant whether he made that exact trip to Prague - he made other known payoffs that are just as felonious.
Isikoff seems an idiot about Butina - Mueller doesn't want a Russian who supplied money in jail - he wants all the Americans who knowingly took this cash as payoffs and political favors and illegal campaign funds in jail. Given a choice between taking down a corrupt heavily lobbying NRA or a then 27-year-old foreign student who shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near these important politicians, which one would you take? and of course she wasn't spending her own money - she was just the delivery boy. Her life is over now anyway - she probably ain't going back to Russia.
Worse is that Isikoff is for some reason intentionally ignoring the pivot to Saudi/Qatar/Israel, which is a whole branch of investigation tied in with Nadler, Erik Prince, et al.
Worst is Isikoff ignores that as of Jan 3, Mueller will just then have access to a whole lot of intelligence data and false testimony and Trump tax records via the House that's been withheld from him to date (though it seems Nunes has released Roger Stones' transcript), and that will mark the start of a lot more seriousness in the evidence, confirmation of what he has now, et al. [not that I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's tax records somehow mysteriously disappear in the meantime]
It's just begun, and Isikoff is more of an idiot than I'd realized - my badd.
