Is a protracted #stalemate burgeoning in Libya?

PM #Bashagha took his oath in Tobruk a month ago—& he still hasn’t swept into office or begun governing.

He himself told the media about the physical act of #entering Tripoli “w/in days”, but that hasn’t happened yet.
Bashagha & his ministers entering Tripoli soon is w/in the realm of the possible.

But the thing is, That won’t necessarily be enough to discard Dabaiba.

I.e., entering Tripoli won’t necessarily put an end to the current crisis.

A slew of profound issues are still outstanding.
A big chunk of opinion & sentiment in both Tripoli & Misrata remains skeptical about Bashagha.

Latter has been making a bit of progress but there’s still a gap.

Plus, the passage of time alone isn’t doing all that work for free, *no matter* how isolated & weak Dabaiba looks.

1) This article represents the predominant view of military analysts of Russia's invasion of #Ukraine: a #STALEMATE, likely to last for months absent a negotiated settlement. It's also one of the best summaries of the military situations I've seen.

2) Of course circumstances could change, and the Russians could find a way to win. At the same time, it's also possible that the Russian force could collapse, and the Ukrainians could defeat them. But these are less likely scenarios than a long-term stalemate. #UkraineInvasion
3) That said, military analysis of this war has fallen short since the get-go. Almost all the "experts" predicted a quick victory for the Russians, but they were thoroughly wrong. #UkraineInvasion

#BIN Yo voy a resumir una nota en #ALNavío, con la "nueva" posición de Europa y Josep Borrell, canciller de España y nuevo alto representante de política exterior de la #UniónEuropea. Esto no le gustará ni a Guaidó, ni a papa Leopoldo ni a los imbéciles. Reclamen a Borrell...
#BIN Me parece que, en este momento, luego de un año de estancamiento #stalemate y del estrepitoso fracaso del "fenómeno" Guaidó, casi todos los países europeos (o el bloque) están reconsiderando su posición, sobre todo por lo hecho por Trump, a posteriori y por el #Brexit...
#BIN 1. Como alto representante de política exterior de #UE, Borrell ratifica la posición que tuvo como canciller de España: no reconocer a Guaidó y oponerse, ahora con más razón, a las sanciones de Trump. Esto no es de extrañar, Repsol (España), junto a Rosneft , desafió a Trump

#BIN La pregunta del día: ¿A quién debe ser leal y con quién puede ser traidor un militar? ¿Con un dictador o con la Constitución y el país?
Yo quiero aprovechar esa pregunta para desarrollar un pequeño hilo con elucubraciones propias, a las que tengo derecho. Aviso a los pendejos que solo esperan predicciones que no las hago, no tengo ese poder y, si lo tuviera, no las haría gratuitas. Solo uso mi libertad y análisis
#BIN Cuando digo #elucubraciones, no digo habladera de pendejadas, sino hipótesis y reflexiones mías, producto de mi meditación. Quizás no gusten a las "románticas" de las políticas, prefiero ser honesto conmigo mismo y auténtico en mis análisis...
