#IDF: All top #PIJ security officials in Gaza are assasinated. - if this is the case, it could be an exit strategy for #Israel. But also for the Islamic Jihad?

Right now #Hamas is doing the right thing just hiding and not getting involved has they watch their brothers in the #PIJ just getting beat to death whether it's smart or being chicken. Without the #PIJ a rival is taken out off the way. #Hamas can fill more of the vacuum in #Gaza

“There is no escaping the fact that Al Qaeda continues to fester under the Taliban. This means that the U.S.-Taliban engagement of the past several years has failed,” writes @asfandyarmir. https://t.co/sRLpJwJhrl

Also, didn't Al Qaeda come about due to the invasion of Afghanistan by the USSR? Doesn't seem unrelated at all.

In reply to Putin going could lead in to

Old news - 1998 Factfulness talked about Russia being down to 80mill by 2100. 2022 was likely the end of the window when Putin had enough non-retirees to invade Ukraine, but still not enough it appears. Doesn't matter - Putin blew it. There's no way Donbas is a useful territory for Russia after this war, he won't have the UA population behind him, the best he can hope for is a land bridge to Crimea, but that's doubtful, and by 2030 it'll just be "Pootie's brain fart", whether Russia melts down or somehow survives. Russia's Eastern territories will not like being used as cannon fodder for European adventurism.

And while we talk about 140m Russians, only 100mill are in Europe.

The late 80s boomlet has gone bust.
