„It is an ominous marker of the nation’s polarization, to which the @realDonaldTrump administration has itself contributed, that some of those top public servants have felt a need to separate themselves from the public.

These civilian officials can now depend on the U.S. military to augment their personal security. But so many have made the move that they are now straining the availability of housing for the nation’s top uniformed officers.”

„Mr. @realDonaldTrump's comments signaled a major potential change for U.S. policy that many Washington officials warn poses a national security risk.

The Biden administration had accused both sides of war crimes, and the RSF [1] of genocide and crimes against humanity including rape and ethnic cleansing.

The U.A.E.’s shipments of weapons have frustrated U.S. officials hoping to contain the war. The latest round of talks hosted by the U.S. to arrange a cease-fire ended Friday in failure.
