It’s mega about maga. Poland thinking about nuclear weapons, UK stupidly dependent on UK for Trident. France offering nuclear umbrella. Trust in US is broken for good. If Americans voted for Trump you have to start to change your opinions of the US.

Based on the actions over the last two weeks, one has to ask whether the world can ever trust the USA again. Broken international agreements, critical domestic and international funding stopped, the loss of rights. What do you think folks?

President Bashar al-Assad fled Syria under the cover of night and a fake political address. Here is an examination of his final days in power, based on secret reports reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with officials, diplomats, his associates and rebels who participated in his ouster.

1/ 🧵FUTURE DIPLOMACY: After intense 7-hour talks in Ankara, Turkey just achieved what months of international mediation couldn’t. An object lesson from East Africa in how deep relationships trump traditional power politics in today’s world.

It will be fascinating to see what happens in Romania this weekend. Geogescu came from nowhere and his push has been on TikTok. If people are losing trust in media, how can they ever trust social media?

Looking for community feedback. What can the institutions that were set up after World War II to never let it happen again do to regain the confidence of the world? As #Harari says in his latest book, those institutions are what distinguishes us from the monkeys!

Have not seen much on here on Sudan, so I'm amplifying this horrific report that shows the number who are killed is higher than previously estimated. Adding here other writing to read to understand this war that has displaced over 11 million people; the highest displacement crisis globally. 🧵
