(1) My #PhotoThread about His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, US ally, friend of President Trump, and courageous peacemaker.

#IStandWithSaudiArabia #IStandWithIsrael #FreeIran2018 #PeaceIsThePrize #MAGA
(2) Prince Mohammed was born in Riyadh on August 31, 1985, making him 33 years old today.
(3) Like Barron Trump, Prince Mohammed is a big soccer fan. Also like Barron, he is the firstborn son of his father's third wife. He has two younger brothers.
(4) Prince Mohammed holds a bachelor's degree in law from King Saud University. He worked in the private sector before entering politics at age 24.
(5) More photos of him at home and work.
(6) 6) Unlike his predecessors, Prince Mohammed has one wife. He and Princess Sara bint Mashoor married in 2008 & they have 4 children. who were born within 6 years of each other. I can understand his view that this family size is sufficient.😁
(7) The Crown Prince has met leaders, CEOs, and celebs from a number of countries.
(8) Prince Mohammed in the oval office, meeting Obama in 2015, and Trump in 2018.
(9) Like his father, HM King Salman, Prince Mohammed has a close relationship with President Trump, and indeed with both Presidents Bush. The US and KSA have shared national security and economic interests. In 2016, Trump promised to work with reformers to seek peace.
(10) I will add further photos of Crown Prince Mohammed to this thread when I find them.

(1) Officer Ronil Singh was a Fijian-Indian who migrated legally to the US & become a police officer. There has been a brain drain of Fijian-Indians over the past 30 years bc of racism & repeated coups. Many came to NZ... they are welcomed here, usually pillars of the community.
(2) The most recent coup in Fiji was in 2006. Naval Commodore Frank Bainimarama overthrow the lawfully elected govt at the barrel of a gun. Despite murder and repression, the international community "forgot" all about it & even gave him a UN role. Of course.
(3) In fact, Fiji's violent dictator, Frank Bainimarama, was head of the UN's climate change conference for 2017. How nice.

(1) Secretary Mattis' resignation letter of December 20, 2018.

Source: an ABC reporter at the Pentagon. Hopefully this is the real letter.

Assuming it is, here are my thoughts on it:
(2) I love, love, love General James Mattis and always have, from the moment I first learned who he is. That will never change.

I have two possible explanations for why he chose to mention "respect for allies" & being harder on adversaries in this letter.
(3) Two MAIN possible explanations. Sure, there will be others.

It could be 4D chess kabuki theater, he's certainly capable of it.

Or, it could be his genuine feelings and desire to distance himself from some of Trump's actions. Sad.

(1) "I got tired of hearing from people who can’t see what I see. It’s just a phase. I’ll be more charitable at some point. Right now I prefer the company of old postcards."

(2) WWI flamethrower expert Thomas Wictor bowed out of social media and is now writing at thomaswictor.com and quodverum.com. I'm writing at QV, too, but at a ratio of about 1:10 TW articles.

His above quote resonated with me so I want to "unpack it" a little.
(3) Firstly, I am keenly looking forward to the day when we can all converse at QV, bc the feedback loop is vital to my process of learning, reflecting, and writing about politics. Your replies to my threads make a huge difference to the final product.

#Saudi feminist Loujain al-Hathloul, 29, was detained in May in unprecedented crackdown vs feminists. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aide Saud al-Qahtani, personally oversaw her interrogation, which incl waterboarding & threatened to rape & kill her google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.…
Of 18 detained activists, at least eight have been physically abused in custody, according to Saudi advisers, activists &others with knowledge of the prisoners’ treatment. One said security officials electrocuted her hands. “My fingers resembled barbecued meat, swollen and blue”
Glad to see some finally pay attention to misogyny in #Saudi Arabia - I call it gender apartheid. RIP Jamal Khashoggi. It should not be lost on us that it took the murder of a man for some to finally pay attention to women.

It is all well & good that companies & lobbyists are reassessing #Saudi Arabia over reported murder of #JamalKhashogg. BUT! Where the fuck have all these people and firms been for decades? The violations of the #Saudi monarchy have never been a secret. nyti.ms/2CcsOjL
Glad to see people pay attention, finally, and I wish it hadn’t been over such a gruesome crime. I wish people and firms had started boycotting #Saudi royal family over its gender apartheid that affects all women there. Or the #Yemen war. Or jails full of activists. Or. And. Or.
This was my first oped about #Saudi Arabia for a US newspaper - ironically enough, The Washington Post. Fifteen schoolgirls had died in a fire because religious police wouldn’t let them out because the girls weren’t wearing a cloak and a headscarf washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…

1/ The #Saudi kidnapping of #Khashoggi reminds me of the kidnapping of #Hariri. It is meant to embarrass the other party, this time the gov of #Turkey, and provoke a diplomatic crisis. This is drug Cartel methods. It has no other goal than to assert power over the other.
2/ However, resorting to these methods to assert power in the political and international affairs sphere is always a sign of weakness and a sign of a power in crisis. #SaudiArabia
