Another thumb in the eye.

A US-made C-17 of the Qatari Air Force, flying in Iranian airspace, perhaps making its way toward Kandahar.

I'm guessing it's carrying Abdul Baradar, new leader of Taliban's Afghanistan.
.Interesting. The Qatari C-17 has turned around, just past Kandahar.

Perhaps waiting for the all clear on the ground. Perhaps was headed for Kabul and denied landing clearance.

Just left transponder coverage after this screenshot.
.Confirmed. Baradar delivered to Kandahar airfield via Qatari C-17.

.Recall that Baradar was released in 2018 from PAK custody at US request as part of Trump's 'negotiations' with the Taliban.

Adding @bsarwary's tweet here for completeness, as the background video shows the Taliban disembarking from the C17 at Kandahar airfield yesterday.

So...@scoopercooper’s Wilful Blindness is the most important Canadian book I’ve read.

It’s a plea for Canada to face up to a dire national security threat, decades in the making: the nexus of Triads and the CCP’s UFWD in Canada.

And it's infuriating. 1/

The response to this book is going to determine whether or not Canada really is a decent society and a stalwart ally, with deep values it lives.

Right now, it’s clear there are too many opportunists ready to compromise anything and to sacrifice our poor for cash or power.

Wilful Blindness takes us through Cooper's years of investigative reporting, first looking into a skyrocketing Vancouver real estate market but getting progressively darker and deeper into international criminal and political interference networks. 3/
