I wonder if anyone remembers another one of those “perfect phone calls” before Haftar attempted to topple the GNA? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Trump and Bolton also undercut the U.S. charge d’affairs in Libya, Peter Bodde, who has repeatedly warned Haftar against advancing on Tripoli.”

Sound familiar?
Fast forward. No no Past Ukraine Past Syria. To here: aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/t…
Imagine an archive of calls made by Trump to various people and then follow up on what actually happened Remember when Guaido ruled Venezuela? If only in Trump's head? He thought he controlled parastatals Citgo. He doesn't. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The call archive should also include Jared's calls on WhatsApp. But I will be happy with official audio on Donald's chats. inquirer.com/columnists/att…
Those perfect WhatsApp calls. Owned by Facebook. Super Secure. No way you could get in. Impossible to hack. theintercept.com/2018/03/21/jar…
Unless of course the Israelis use their infamous software and or sell it to the Saudis and other governments to find and kill people. techcrunch.com/2019/05/14/wha…

Erdogan comments after Haftar didn’t sign the ceasefire deal. Note that Russia and Turkey seem to be focused on Haftar personally.
Putin has had plenty of time to see the inner workings of Haftar’s group. Not just with the political team that was rolled up in May but with technicians fixing oft destroyed equipment and mercenaries suffering high casualties in the LNA command structure. shorthand.com/case-studies
The prize in Libya is a strategic port and air footprint at the door step of Europe. Cash flow from oil for development deals and an extended influence into Africa for Turkey and Russia. With nary an American firm in sight. Libya is a major gateway into Africa.

The most interesting story today: Putin insists that Russian #mercenaries fighting for Haftar via Wagner/Prigozhin are not his. Which means the Russian nationals can fight for or against their proxy master depending on Putin's whim. reuters.com/article/us-lib…
Eugene Prigozhin, for those who don't recognize the name also diddled in the US and many other elections. Again "Putin Denies This"... but Prigozhin's and his "Concord " group is busy in Libya, CAR, Syria Sudan, Mozambique etc via numerous sub-companies. coed.com/2019/04/18/yev…
Four of Prigozhin's employees were caught in Libya meeting with potential candidates what was going to be an election. Which side where they working on? All of them. rferl.org/a/moscow-found…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Let’s all go back to why we can’t unwind these forever wars. cnn.com/2020/01/11/mid…
Let's expand this reboot to Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia and ask if the the methodology applied actually adds to the longevity, complexity and unsolveability of these Low Intensity Conflicts. We are seeing a rise in first world weapons used in third world wars.
This first world fear used to be expressed as "what if they have the bomb" but it is more likely to be found as a threat when other nations can afford automated systems operated by incompetent planners, pilots, trigger pullers and mercenaries. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/real…

21. United States decided to label #IRGC terrorists. But who are the real terrorists? Who created, trained, armed & financed the worst terrorist groups in the world?

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
