Boy, I goofed. I confused in my memory banks two different original outbreaks -- Lassa and Marburg, mis-recalling things I wrote nearly 30 years ago.
I apologize. And here, I will quote a section of THE COMING PLAGUE referring to #Marburg in a thread.

💥A quick appetizer 🧵for my new article. #Chinese investments and #democratic #backsliding are mutually reinforcing in #Hungary. To further monopolize #political and #economic #power, the #Orbán govt continues utilising business provided by #Beijing bit.ly/3G4iICo 1/
After the 🇭🇺 MFA declared that it fully respects the “OneChinaPolicy”, the 🇨🇳 @catl_official announced the largest #industrial investment in #Hungary’s history. It stems from the strategy w/ which #Orbán committed himself to a China-friendly policy for pragmatic reasons 2/
The 🇭🇺 govt tilted the playing field w/ #clientelist #corruption. It created additional #informal sources through which #Orbán cemented #political #economic power. Economic ties with 🇨🇳 became an instrument to explore Asian markets/expand business in a #nontransparent way 3/

Yes, millions of #Russians will die, alas, but the world as a whole will be saved.
Next, all of #NATO's conventional power would come crashing down on Russia.
Carpet bombing of army positions, Global Prompt Strike on decision-making centers, anti-radar long-range missiles

on air defense.
The Russian #AirForce will be destroyed in the first minutes for the most part, and those fleets that get in the air will be destroyed by F-22s and F-35s.
The B2s will fly to the #Urals and launch bunker strikes on #Yamantau and other safe havens.

All Russian #leadership bunkers will be destroyed in the first 5 hours.
Next, the B52s will carpet bomb the Russian army in #Ukraine and #Russia. Hundreds of thousands of bombs will scorch the entire Russian army left unprotected by air defense and air forces.

[#Memories | Modibo Keita, inventeur de l’expression « non-aligné »]
En septembre 1961, la Conférence de #Belgrade a réuni les leaders de 25 pays dont Modibo du 🇲🇱. Elle a permis la naissance du mouvement des « non-alignés », une 3ème alternative aux #USA et l’ex-#URSS.

Avant le discours de Modibo à #Belgrade, on les appelait : "les pays non-engagés".

1/ Spent the day pottering around #Belgrade. Visited the House of Flowers - resting place of President Tito. The museum to his life was interesting - there’s even a football signed by the 1980 Man Utd squad sending him a get well soon message
2/ Shhhhh 🤫 Don’t tell TfL about the roundel in the Tito museum
3/ Then wandered up to the Belgrade Fortress and, after 1700km of train and coach journeys across Europe, I finally reach the Danube. Not looking too blue - rather brown - at its confluence with the Sava - its biggest tributary

Why should the rest of the world care about a war in Europe? In the view of some commentators too much public attention is directed to the war in #Ukraine. In this🧵I discuss some aspects of the argument. If you are in a hurry, go to Tweet No 12 ff. @fredsinstitutet 1/
While #war involves breaches of rules & pain, such commentators, remind of continued human suffering in places such as Yemen, Syria, Myanmar, Libya, Ethiopia, the DR Congo and many other parts of the world. This is an important critique that needs to be considered seriously. 2/
There is implicit accusation in this thought, that #Europe is in any case Eurocentric and that ‘the west’ only protects its own interests. This is an argument about legal #proportionality and #moral discrepancy. #InternationalLaw 3/

1. #NixonMao #rapprochement 50th ANNIVERSARY: SOME FACTS & LESSONS.
In only 50 years, everything changes. Strategic interests of two great powers aligned then as much as they clash today.
I hate threads but my blog is not out yet: here some disorderly thoughts.

2. In 1972, China needed to avert a terrestrial invasion from #USSR. The #UnitedStates was keen to gain a heavy-weight partner to checkmate #Moscow; but the long-term objective was to bring the most populous country into a rising US-led global economic order for the US to profit
3. In the following decades, the relationship was not void of tensions. However, strategic interests were important enough to save it from #TaiwanRelationsAct, #Reagan anti #communism and support for #Taiwan; #TiananmenSquare; #StraitCrisis 1995-1996; #Belgrade bombing
THREAD on #Serbia and #Russia: President of #Serbia #aleksandarvučić is in #Sochi, #Russia to meet #Russia's President #VladimirPutin. The main talking point of the agenda, the price of Russian #gas for Serbia. #Serbia is entirely dependent on the import of Russian gas.
#Russia owns majority shares in NIS, Serbia's national oil and gas company, sold to Moscow below market price in 2008, in return for #Russia's protection in the #UN on #Kosovo and hoping that Moscow would construct now-defunct South Stream pipeline over Serbian territory.
The energy dependency was confirmed with the inauguration of the #TurkStream pipeline in 2021. In light of the ongoing energy crisis in Europe, the Serbian President fears the high gas prices for Serbia. The first reason is more immediate, the start of the heating season.
#Deltavarijanta nastavlja pohod u Srbiji. Primite vakcinu na vreme. #Srbija #Serbia #Belgrade #Beograd
Sporije nego u oktobru 2020...
Zašto se #Kovid19 #Deltavarijanta širi pored visokog broja vakcinisanih u Islandu, UK, Izraelu? Pokušaću da vam objasnim..... @yt1prm #vakcinerade #srbija #beograd #kovid19 #nosimasku 1/15
Nedavno saopštenje CDC-a da #Deltavarijanta ima prosečan reproduktivni broj 6-9.
Prvo moram da vam objasnim šta znači prosečan reproduktivni broj.
Prosečan reproduktivni broj označava prosečan broj novih slučajeva zaraze od jedne infektivne osobe. #kovid19 2/15

El 25 de noviembre de 2020 quedará en la historia como el día en que Diego Armando Maradona pasó a la inmortalidad. La repercusión y los homenajes dieron la vuelta al mundo como jamás se vio en la historia. Por eso, siempre será el más grande de todos los tiempos. Pasen y vean…
Esta historia no puede comenzar de otra manera que no sea en Nápoles. Porque Diego y la ciudad del sur de Italia 🇮🇹 tienen una relación especial.
Uno de los primeros videos en aparecer fue el de Maradona con la camiseta del Nápoli haciendo jueguitos en el cielo.
First #Jihadi #mujahideen warriors in #Bosnia 🇧🇦 began arriving in 1992. Firstly as a humanitarian workers, and later to become the martyrs on Allah´s road in #Bosnia. Their first camp was in village of #Mehurici and their 1st leader was Abu Abdel Aziz aka #Barbaros. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The main financier of these warriors was Mohammed al-Fatih Hassaneyn from #Sudan 🇸🇩 who with his brother Sukarno founded #TWRA an NGO in #Vienna #Austria 🇦🇹 from where he transferred money and #Jihadi warriors to #Bosnia 🇧🇦.
In 1970´s Hassaneyn was Sudanese student in #Belgrade dentistry college where he used his free time to travel
through #Yugoslavia to visit his fellow Muslims. That´s how he met another student Alija Izetbegovic in #Sarajevo and new friendship started.

#Coronavirus cases are through the roof in #Serbia 🇷🇸 these days, two weeks after the government pushed through elections for it own gain despite concerns of another outbreak.

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic. The #language underwent minor changes that occurred mostly uniformly across eastern #Europe, thereby maintaining mutual intelligibility.
Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
Roughly 315m people speak a Slavic #language, mostly in Eastern #Europe (including the #Balkan peninsula), #CentralAsia, and #Siberia.

Ready for a travel-Thread from yesterday? On my #trainWeddingtrip another #nighttrain was needed: №1335 "Hellas" from #Belgrade🇷🇸 to #Gevgelija🇲🇰 (+ #Thessaloniki🇬🇷 by bus). It's a train w/ a long history but it's today's existence is only a poor copy of former glory!
1st difficulty: One has to get to #Belgrade🇷🇸 Topčider train station by tram. Sadly no trains leave the beautiful main train station anymore. Tram-infos are rather hard to find, but buying tickets is easy, just hold your 💳 to one of these ticket-cancellers 👍! #trainWeddingtrip
There is not much around #Belgrade🇷🇸 Topčider, mainly a big park. From there, 4 international trains are leaving & arriving the city (2x #Bar🇲🇪, 1x #Sofia🇧🇬 & 1x #Gevgelija🇲🇰). Next to this building there is a ticket-office AND a GREAT😍 railway station pub🍺🍔! #trainWeddingtrip
