Simultaneously, Putin's MENA envoy Bogdanov met with #Egypt's ambassador to discuss #Libya, #Syria, and Arab-Israeli rapprochement. Image
Bogdanov also spoke with #Greece's ambassador.

"An exchange of views took place on the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean region in the context of international efforts to promote an early political settlement of the Libyan crisis on the basis of UNSCR 2510." Image
Bogdanov met with Ali Haider, the representative of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) in #Yemen, to discuss the situation there.

Russia is trying to plant itself in the Yemeni 'peace process' while backing the #UAE's horse, as Russia does everywhere. Image
Bogdanov met with #Iran's ambassador to discuss MENA issues, particularly #Syria [and presumably how Iran should respond to Bahrain/UAE normalization with Israel] Image
Bogdanov met with #Armenia's ambassador to discuss bilateral relations and the Nagorno-Karabakh process. Image
Putin- #Lukashenko meeting: "Incidentally, today we start the military exercises...Let me repeat to prevent conjecture: this is an event that was planned and even announced last year. After the joint exercises the Russian units will return to their permanent stations." ImageImageImageImage
Macron had an in-depth discussion with Putin to discuss #Navalny, #Belarus, #Ukraine, and #Libya. Image

Better to be a theoretical nuclear target.

If India and Pakistan can avoid a nuclear exchange, anyone can, and North Korea, e.g., will nuke South Korea (and use biological and chemical weapons) in the event of conflict regardless of the South's possession of nukes.
Nukes aren't a magical answer, but if you've got the infrastructure, know-how, and money, unclear to me why you wouldn't at least become a nuclear threshold state as a theoretical deterrent to nuclear coercion/threats.
Rules are different for nuclear powers, and everybody knows it [Pakistan has been treated with kid gloves for decades despite its behaviour, partially for this reason].

Oh, this one fucking hurts. Fuck.

Seems the "Georgian Legion" that basically kicked off what became NAFO was a scam, one I promoted and to which I donated and got my friends to donate significant amounts of money.

Should've paid closer attention. Mea culpa 🤦‍♂️💀

Al-Qaeda (Al-Shabaab) has reversed all Somali military gains in central Somalia over the last 2 years and is working with the IRGC (Houthis) to enhance capabilities.

voanews.com/a/al-shabab-re…
Senior U.S. defense official: “[Al-Shabaab] are working with the Houthis. It’s a bit of a surprise … It’s quite concerning.”

A bit of a surprise?! It's been happening for decades! My god, these fucktards still don't get it 🤡🤡🤡

"Ahmed said the Houthis...aim to establish a new front in the Indian Ocean where al-Shabaab can receive advanced missiles and drones. He said the Houthis have already sent three engineers to al-Shabaab...to help build sophisticated weapons and bombs."

Very Serious People are insisting that Israel's strike on Iran's embassy complex in Syria justifies any military response.

Who am I to disagree with the Very Serious People? Embassies are sacred. Everything is justified.

The regime in Iran was literally created by attacking the US embassy in 1979 🤡

.@jonathanchait: "They are treating apologias for Hamas as a factually or logically flawed application of left-wing ideals. I believe...that Hamas defenders are applying their own principles correctly. The problem is the principles themselves."

@jonathanchait: "The illiberal left believes treating everybody equally...merely serves to maintain existing structures of power. It follows...that the legitimacy of a tactic can only be assessed with reference to whether it is being used by the oppressor or the oppressed."
@jonathanchait: '“Decolonization”...has a model of the world in which conflicts are analyzed as a struggle pitting settler-colonist-Europeans, who are evil, against native/indigenous/BIPOC people...[It] does not leave room to judge the morality of any methods.' Image
