Extremely difficult negotiations. For the simple reason that the Taliban want to alter the current Afghan state to a Sunni Afghan version of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Whereas the other side wants to preserve as much of the current setup as possible.

The Taliban know that they can't go back to their old emirate and will need to compromise. But their desire to dominate a post-American Afghanistan is only getting stronger, especially given battlespace dynamics and the US desire to get the hell outta dodge
Meanwhile, the other sides represents a divided state + an array of regional factions, which have come to the table from a position of relative weakness. Their desire is to concede as little as possible but lack military leverage to drive a hard bargain.

Kirk Cousins is talking "culling the herd" approach? Funny this is the new talking pt for Trump & new advisor Dr Scott Atlas. Basically they've given up on solving the #coronavirus pandemic and are just going with the more deadly "herd immunity" approach. Image
Another Trump talking pt is now only ~9000 people have died from coronavirus because u cant count comorbidities. Essentially Trump now thinks only 6% of all the #covid19 deaths are really from #coronavirus. And very quickly supporters are now trying 2 regurgitate this (close 4%) Image
Somehow he's missing the point that it was still coronavirus that ultimately killed the person. Having high blood pressure or being obese isn't necessarily a death sentence ... unless you are unlucky enough to get #coronavirus #disinfo

It’s key to understand that these handles were not just picked out of the sky.

This was a planned, structured & orchestrated #InfoOp to take down & accuse without reproachment.

Notice how the #Indian media announced the reason for the suspensions today, as they come online.
The article in the @DeccanChronicle was a manufactured disinformation piece, designed to be used as a basis to cover up #India’s failure in #Balakot. Image
The #Indian media prepared their domestic audience for the online debate with this accusation, which questions the security of #India in #OSINT hands.

Another manufactured article to give a longer news cycle to India vs Pakistan.
